Re: Need a recommendation on a Locator Call

You are going about it the right way. Besides adding to the enjoyment, scouting is key because it is much easier to call a turkey to a location where he is already inclined to go.
Thx for the encouragement and I agree. We scouted Saturday morning. We had success locating Gobblers with the H&N Owl Call. Later in the morning, we could get return calls from crows, but did not get any shock gobbles with the crow call. There are many crows out where we hunt. Not sure if that contributes to it, or if the gobblers are just tight lipped.
In any case, we located several gangs this past Saturday morning. We saw several gobblers in 1/2 and full strut. My son learned the importance of keeping still and staying quite, behind cover and not silhouetting himself. He had a "standoff", or should I say "stare-off" with 2 hens, as a watched all 3 of them with humor from cover. They heard him first, then saw him. Now he knows. We picked a couple of places to start next weekend, on youth day.
Good Luck and Everyone and thanks again.
