Turkey hunters actually like an excellent hunt where the gobbler responds to a few calls that they make. However, it is very rare that a single cluck can cause a gobbler to pay attention and start moving towards you. It is even rarer that a gobbler will actually start responding to your clucks and come into view that easily.
Turkey hunting is a distinct ballgame altogether. The gobblers are tough birds that are aware of the fact that they are being scouted by predators and therefore are extremely careful in their response towards turkey calls.
The hunter must make diligent plans and preparations before starting, so that he can hit a turkey before noon. Therefore, the hunter must be ready to wait, and waiting seems worth it when he finally catches a hunt after long tedious hours, and returns home with it.
It's essential to see the techniques of triumphant hunters and get their opinion, so that you know exactly when to make a call, once the roost has been found. At the hour when the gobbling turkeys just make their entry, it could be exciting to call them off their roost. After that, hunting down a turkey could be a really achievement.
An important strategy, that is popular with most hunters, is to continue walking while you call to find the turkey. This is known as cut and run by most professional hunters. When you move around in the foliage at a silent pace it is more likely that you will find a stray turkey that starts responding to you in hopes of reuniting with its clan. You need to start off with loud aggressive calls on a repeated basis meant to attract the gobbler towards a lost hen. It is actually much more likely that the turkey will be responsive to a pleading call by a turkey hen than actually responding to seductive calls.
You should keep moving and keep a distance of hundred yards between the two calls that you make in order to maintain some space between you and the gobbler and be prepared to shoot. A hunter must be very alert and not get surprised to see one of the long beard or wild turkeys at a 30 yard distance from him. This can perhaps startle the hunter more than the turkey itself at times leaving him in no position to shoot and kill.
To ensure that you don't miss a turkey that roams around noiselessly, ensure that you position yourself in an appropriate spot with all the hunting tools fixed to shoot instantly. Allow your turkey-calls to accommodate various pitches having begun with a simple 'cluck' and proceeding to make the complex 'purr' and further audibly distinct tones or pitches. Make note of the call that gets the turkey's attention and constantly make that call, enabling you to perceive the nature of turkeys there.
In tough situations professional hunters recommend the tube call. You should know that a lot of the turkeys have been scouted and hunted before by turkey hunters. This makes them alert and cautious about the various turkey calls which you might choose. A tube call will provide you a unique option that the turkey has not heard before and most other hunters use strikers or box calls. So why not tempt them with something different?
Unyielding turkeys are named as 'henned up turkeys' and they might be definitely hunted using this technique. Such turkeys always remain with turkey hens and it is in no way easy to draw them away. As the turkey hens often take the turkeys far away from your hunting spot, you have to use very audible and sharp calls to draw the turkeys towards you.
