When you are hunting in the spring do you have more success using a hen call or a gobble call to bring in toms? The past few years for me its been the gobble call, the toms already have hens and wont come to my hen calls. But when I gobble and have a full strut turkey decoy ive been having a little better luck. Those toms don’t like another tom after their hens a they will come for a fight. Whats been the best for you guys, and girls?

   Gobbles, without a doubt. I mix them in with hen yelps and purrs on a Quaker Boy diaphragm call. I like the triple-reed kind, and not too raspy. I gobble without a call.

   I set up a hen with two jakes and use a box for hen yelps and then a diaphragm to make gobbles like young jakes. The mature toms come busting in to run off the jakes. Mix in a few yelps when you first see the tom and he’ll kick it in full gear.

   If you use a gobble shaker around here, you’re going to get yourself shot.
