If I hear him clear his throat, he is taking a truck ride with me. Rivers, roads, fences, swamps, creeks, mountains - none are impediments to my calling skills and woodsmanship. Yeah,....me too! I can also leap tall buildings in a single bound and bend steel with my bare hands. ...Unfortunately, then I wake up and reality sets in. In the meantime, since nobody can prove otherwise,...I am just summarily declaring myself to be the best of all time,...anytime,..anywhere.

Quote from: Ihuntoldschool on April 27, 2016, 11:12:17 AMThere is no such thing as call shy it does not exist and never has. A gobbler that was shy of a good hen sound would lead a lonely life. I don't care how much or how hard a turkey has been pressured if he comes to your hen calls he is most definitely NOT looking for a camo blob-FACT. He is looking for the hen he heard.

And most folks use "call shy" as a term to describe it. Okay, but it would be a misnomer since it has nothing to do with calling. It's a conditioning to excessive pressure where the birds become more quiet and less aggressive in their movements.
Quote from: THattaway on April 27, 2016, 12:20:35 PMI don't see how you can separate it out from hunting pressure since calling is so much a part of turkey hunting. I can put you on a field turkey today that will go straight away from calls from any member on this board, sight unseen. Most times though, folks blame a turkey as call shy when it's simply a subordinate tom, henned up or otherwise preoccupied, not answering or coming.
