Frequently Asked Questions

What is the key to effective turkey calling?

Mastering inflection is crucial. This involves subtle changes in pitch, volume, and rhythm, along with incorporating natural sounds like the 'fall off' and intentional imperfections, to mimic a real hen and attract gobblers.

What type of mouth call does Jason Cruise recommend?

Jason Cruise prefers mouth calls made from a prophylactic and latex mix, noting they often require less air pressure than full latex calls. He advises hunters to find a call that feels personally comfortable.

How can I make my turkey calls sound more realistic?

To sound more realistic, vary your calling sequences, avoid calling the same way every time, and incorporate natural elements. This includes using the 'fall off' technique (decreasing pitch/volume at the end of a call) and adding 'skip notes' for imperfection.

What is the 'fall off' technique in turkey calling?

The 'fall off' is a technique where the pitch and volume of a turkey call, particularly a yelp, are decreased towards the end. This mimics the natural vocalization of a hen and can be very effective in attracting gobblers.
