I was hunting opening morning in MS and working a hen on the roost hoping to get her to drag along a gobbler... she eventually flew to a tree near me and became really vocal... She was probably the raspiest hen I've ever heard.
We had a fun conversation and eventually we ended up calling in 3 gobblers, mostly her I'm sure... she pitched down and worked her way up on the ridge I was on at about 30 yards from me, the gobblers had hung up strutting on the next ridge over so I cut at the gobblers and all 3 gobbled, as soon as they gobbled the hen quickly gobbled back at them...
In my years of hunting that was the first time I had experienced seeing a hen gobble.
I did end up taking one of those gobblers but the really memorable experience was hearing that hen gobble... cool stuff.
