[QUOTE="BHC, post: 3189047, member: 10391"] I had to learn through trial and error... Ive had a short turkey hunting career this is my 5th season i started at 18, and im 23 now.. There is no right thing to do, anything can work at different times. Typically patience will work more times than being really aggressive and anxious to make a move.. I would consider myself a pretty aggressive turkey hunter, but I believe I could've killed more turkeys had I been more patient over the yrs... As for calling I think I'm pretty average with a mouth call and slate I'm ok with a box but only use it to locate really... I call in the truck all the time, let the dogs out and sit on the porch and practice. I like to record it on my phone and then replay it and see if I didn't know better would I be able to tell if it wasn't a turkey. This really helps you slowing down, or speeding upyour cadences.. Get some recordings and mimic them... That's what helped me the most... I've put a mouth call in on average probly once a day for the last month.. Only practice can make you better... It's an instrument, ya just gotta learn to play it.. Master the cluck then put a few clucks together then learn to cut or cackle... Do 3-4 yelp cadences till you got that then get more excited w it and mix cuts and yelps.. Etc. gotta learn the easy stuff first... Start at the bottom and work your way up... [/QUOTE]
