Wouldn't it be something to have live turkeys rather than humans decide the winners at calling contests? But ... this overly talkative hen was all alone. Perhaps turkeys are not so different from humans after all.

That sounds like one of my wife's telephone conversations haha. Never have I heard a hen yelp so much.

goes to show, the "experts" are not always right. nature does weird things. calling rules are fine as a general guideline, but the only way to know if something different works is to try it. most times, it will not, but you never know.

wow she never shut up

I had a hen do this to me when I was hunting with my Dad one year. She was about 15 yards in front of us and had us pegged but she would not stop yelping. We eventually figured she was so PO'd that nothing was going to come in, so we stood up and called it a day. We did have a decoy out, as I see in the video. I wonder if there is a correlation?

Thats what you call a motor mouth.

That sounds more like my ex-wife complaining and whining about her life!!!

That would have been somethin to see, to me its experiences like that one, that get you out there another day. I don't take gettin a bird every time.

Check out Bully's Game Calls Commercial #1 on youtube, if you ever called to a turkey one time this commercial ought to have you rollin.

Either she's pissed or just lonely haha.

Thanks guys! I am glad you enjoyed the footage. I will be in Florida in six days on the annual Osceola trip. I have several good hunts on my youtube page. Have a great spring and be safe!

Along the same line of thought, some of the worst elk calls I have ever heard was made by elk.

Several years ago I was hunting one spring morning and I heard a couple of beagles running deer. I couldn't figure out why they were running so slow. I decided that that couldn't happen especially with the does carrying fawns and me having the authority to do something about it. I set up behind this log which made a good rest and got ready for the dogs. I kept watching for the deer and the dogs just kept getting closer. Finally up over the ridge came a few young turkeys and guess what. They were the beagles that I had heard running deer. You could not tell the difference from the sounds the turkeys were making to a couple beagles barking when they are running something. My buddy was over on the next ridge and when we got back together later that morning he wondered why I hadn't shot those dogs running deer. He said he waited to hear a shot any minute. He asked if it was two beagles or three beagles. I got to laughing and explained what had happened.. It took quite a bit of convincing to get him to believe it was turkeys. That is not the only time I have been in the woods and hear the turkeys make sounds that any respectable turkey would be ashamed of.

Weird dude.
