[QUOTE="Stumpsitter, post: 5061326, member: 20678"] The best call to use is the one you’re most confident with. A pot call is an excellent call, easy to use and build confidence with. A wing bone and box will kill’em too. Get good at yelping and small talk . If you can Yelp and scratch in the leaves you can generally convince a turkey to come in. Find some video or recordings of hens in the woods. Listen to the rhythms and cadence of the calls. That can go a long way to help you with how you need to sound. All hens sound different. As far as knowing when to call or how much that’s up to the turkey and experience will help you with that. If a bird answers you , he knows your there. He could come right in or you might have to work him a little. But, playing hard to get has always worked for me. In other words I’ll let them know I’m there just enough to keep them interested and then lay some silence on them. Set still and listen for drumming. The more you hunt the more experience you’ll get. The main thing is don’t get discouraged and don’t hunt in crowds. [/QUOTE]
