Got on this guy at a new spot this morning, and he hung up at 100 yards for an hour gobbling his head off . After calling every ten minutes or so wasn't cutting it, I went silent for 30 minutes and he couldn't handle it anymore and finally came looking! 1" spurs 10 3/4" beard 17 lbs

I am still curious what is the spitting and drumming? Just other forms of turkey communication by a gobbler that typically precedes a gobbler strutting. IMO, spitting sounds similar to two small sticks (saplings) being slapped together (tick sound). Drumming sounds like a low frequency VROOM. These links may help you out.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNqhVJEEIuA (turkey spits at 6 sec, 37 sec, 51 sec and 1:20 mark.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a61m0bIqyv0&feature=youtu.be (Preston spits at 37 sec, 48 sec, 1:02 sec, 1:09 sec, 1:26, 1:30 mark and he spits and drums at 1:50 mark)
