Had two talk in roost five times , then shut up, but upon leaving found that there were at least three other hunters that had entered the same area even with our two cars parked in separate spots, and we were in woods at 4:30, Dad and I figure one of hunters prob heard birds and got busted moving in on us. Was very odd never had turkeys stop talkin that quick unless busted and it sure as shi$ was not us that busted em
Good luck all tomorrow is another day in the hills

while setting up @ 5am heard gobbling behind me in the trees …… 2 hens swooped down @ 6am in front of me and walked off then a long beard came running by ….. got to use walkabouts slate call he makes …. even though my calling skills are not the best his call made them sound much better …. heres all the highlights ….

This is how a properly tuned HVS call sounds

Yes, that sounds sweet! I have a few of Ron’s calls and they sound amazing. Find a spot on the call, prep surfaces, and play with different angles and pressure on the striker. Listen to the hens, repeat the same cadence they do, I always listen to exactly what the hens do. Good luck to all !

DXT exactly I often play with a slate or any pot call surface and usually take a sharpie and mark my sweet spots on the outside of the surface so I know exactly where I want to go if I Need to use it quickly right out of my vest

That sounds awesome Bleu. I too have numerous calls from Ron and they sound sweet.
