TTT- each of the mouth calls has a diffrent sound to it-- some are raspy, some are more clear.
Keep fooling with it, put your tongue on the tip of the front of the open end and huff. THe single reed is the easiest to learn on.

When you see a bird, or can hear them getting closer or working towards you, you want to tone down the calling. you may want to make soft clucks that sound calm and sweet. Decoys work great. I prefer tow hens and a jake. If a tom locks up, starts strutting back and forth, he wants the hen to come to him (they may do this out of gun range). If you have a jake, put it where you want to shoot the tom. They will more often run towards a jake and not get hung up. I have heard of hunters taking a hen, put a stick thru her, and put her so her belly is on the ground. Put the jake on top of her like he is breeding her-- a gobbler will straight out run and attack. If a gobbler is working, do not over call. If he stops calling, don't think he has quit. Smart ones will often circle around and check things out. Birds are easiest early in the year- they may no be broken up, may be in flock, this is hard to call tom away from the flock if hens are with them. THe best way to hunt this is to find out where they roost, and try to set up in the general direction they will head to when they fly down. At the crack of first light, make a few soft sleepy yelps on a slate. THis will be the wake up and fly down call. Take your hat, slap your pants, this sounds like turkey wings. If you scare a flock, they will spread out and hit the trees. GIve them about 20 to 30 minutes, move in close and start calling them back together. Turkeys act differently as the season goes on-- they are in a flock, the gobblers will then seperate and start looking for hens. THis is when they are hot-- if you call a bird and he cuts you off, he is hot and can be shot. If they are with hens, and a hen calls back, cut her off - she may lead the flock to you. Don't blink an eye- they can see just about 360-- e mail me at case2302@aol, subject turkey if you want to talk more. good luck --
