GOBBLER
One of the fastest growing outdoor sports is spring turkey hunting.
With the populations across the nation on a steady increase, finding
areas to hunt turkeys is not difficult. However, the keen senses
of this game bird make this sport a special challenge. By nature
extremely wary, the spring gobbler is not easily fooled. To hunt
him with any regular success requires mastering his vocabulary.
Especially critical is the conversation the hunter has with the
gobbler when it is out of shotgun range. Only the right calls made at the right time,
along with a good portion of woodsman skill, will result in a successful
harvest. Spring gobbler hunting is one of the most addicting lifelong
hobbies for the outdoor enthusiast. Cass Creek has included both
aggressively provoking calls, as well as seductive mating yelps
for their spring gobbler device.
SPRING YELP - A high pitched series
of yelps to call the gobbler to mate.
PURR - Soft/subtle call of contented
hen used to convince the gobbler of those last few yards.
TREE YELP/FLYDOWN - Soft morning wake
up yelps accompanied by real wing beats as the hen leaves the roost.
FIGHTING PURR - Aggressive/agitated
Toms sparring for dominance often triggers a hung up gobbler to
come in.
JAKE GOBBLE - The sounds of an immature
gobble challenges the dominant Tom.
