Weird shock gobble calls
Re: Weird shock gobble calls
Killed my first spring gobbler after he shock gobbled to a ambulance siren. Also can't beat a truck door slam
Re: Weird shock gobble calls
A friend of mine lived in an old house with a old fashioned wooden framed screen door. he says they gobble at it all the time in the Spring.

I carry a woodpecker call and it works from time to time....935 wrote: ↑May 31st, 2021, 7:29 am The first tom I ever killed shock gobbled to a real pileated woodpecker. I bought a Knight and Hale woodpecker call soon after, thinking I was on to something. I haven't heard a pileated woodpecker call make a bird gobble since. Not from me, not from a real woodpecker.
Re: Weird shock gobble calls
You never know sometimes what they will shock gobble at. Besides crows and Barred owls, I've heard them gobble at a lot of different things. Dogs barking, various birds, roosters crowing, Canada geese, hawks, car doors, people talking, etc.

Re: Weird shock gobble calls
I was hunting in Northern Kansas once about 10 years ago around lunchtime I was bored so I was slowly still hunting and shed antler hunting when a rooster pheasant sounded off and sure enough two Toms shock gobbled in response. I sat down and hit a box call and they answered me. I called them in and whiffed on a 40 yard shot. Roller coaster day I won't soon forget.

So the moral of this story so far is that anything will work some of the time, but nothing will work all of the time!

Thunder..... 60% of the time it works every time!!
Re: Weird shock gobble calls
Several years ago a weird call came on the market. I don't know who made it but, it was a peacock. Strange.

Re: Weird shock gobble calls
Ever turkey hunted where there was a peacock close by? And by close by I mean a 1/2 to 3/4 mile. I’ve hunted a couple places in GA and Bama that had peacocks near by, And they would absolutely hammer back at a peacock.

Re: Weird shock gobble calls
We have a place we hunt on the river and when the ospreys start calling in the morning the turkeys will shock gobble almost every time at them i have also heard them gobble at a peackock
Re: Weird shock gobble calls
Pretty neat. I've never hunted anywhere there is peacocks, at least as far as I know of. I have heard them gobble at roosters.

Re: Weird shock gobble calls
Sometimes they ll gobble to almost anything. I’ve heard them to a truck door ( also had them shut down too). Climbed over a barbed wire fence in my youth and the “screech” it made pullin thru the nails located one close by. Geese, a donkey, and a Hereford bull ( he could really rip a gobble out but was difficult to get in and out of my vest…). Saw a gobbler in a field really ripping into a prop plane. Could see him gobble but couldn’t hear bc of the plane. Actually stooped to a peacock call one time… no luck( I think the bull stepped on it…). Loudspeaker on a military base close by/ had one really rip into the National Anthem being played- we dubbed him Captain America and never even got close to killing him…. Thunder- the long rolling kind- sat 2hrs blind calling one time without a peep til a thunderstorm rolled in and two gobbled….guess my calling wasn’t too good- guess I should have brought my Hereford bull that day!
My opinion is the survival of the Wild Turkey in huntable numbers will come down to what true hunters are willing to do-and not do. No agency, conservationist and/or organization will get it done. What are YOU going to do about it?

I like to take my dong and beat it against a tree. Usually works for me.

My Lausman Persimmon Popper makes a turkey gobble mighty good ! 

Re: Weird shock gobble calls
Has anybody had good luck with a gobble call? I've used them a little but, it's pretty much hit or miss.

Anyone ever enjoy and significant level of success using a peacock call as a shock goggle call?

Had a Turkey hunting friend that said his brother used a wooden train whistle that he bought at a Cracker Barrel 35 years ago. Said he had great success with it.
Re: Weird shock gobble calls
Azetc death whistle has been my go2 on public lately. Also discourages other hunters to stay out of the woods

Re: Weird shock gobble calls
In Michigan this year had 2 gobblers losing their mind at a couple Sandhill cranes in the field. Let me know their location the whole time they were coming in from 640 yards. I thought it was a donkey braying at first.

Re: Weird shock gobble calls
Mark Drury sold a lot of silent dog whistles as shock devices back in the day. They worked great, only problem was the gobble was silent, too. Gil
Re: Weird shock gobble calls
I can make a pretty good sandhill call with a short reed goose call.
We used to hunt behind a golf course, we would pull up to the club house and slam car doors and beep the horn, whole farm would gobble!
