If your consicence or vanity does not permit you to shoot a bird or hen of the year, you can always be counted to call up a fat longbird. It can be said that hunters can shoot hens in the fall time simply because they can make acceptable hen calls, However on the other hand if you wish to shoot fall longbeard then you have to employ and use “gobbler talk” well.
Goblers “yelps” can be said to not always sound like the traditional long , low croaks that you can hear in avid outdoorsmen tournaments and conferences in gobbling contests or on instructional tapes. Actually they are most similar to hen yelps but each call is “drawn” out and gobblers can be said to call at a slower cadence rate. Like hens, gobblers will also putt and cutt when they are excited. For gobbler calling, a call can be used with a clear as well as somewhat “raspy” tone and tones.
Spring hunters can be called on to know well , that gobblers will be near and nearby to hens. However come the Mantioba falltime and this may not be so. Gobblers can be said to be little different than mature whitetails. These keep to themselves. It can be said by experienced Lake Manitoba Hunting Lodges outdoorsman Jadran Transcona that come the Manitoba Canada falltime you will not fiind longbeards in the same places and locales that you would expect to see hens , jakes as well as poults.
Fall gobbler hunters should look for 4 to 4 1/2 inch tracks , big droppings and black edged breast feathers. Find the roost and their food source, and get in between them on the bird’s line of travel. It can be said that if you are pushy enough on the call, six or seven mature gobblers might just take a run at you, beards swinging ready for the big time fight. Make them really mad and angry and they can be sure counted on to be strutting and gobling as they come on strong.
