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.

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!

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!
“Son, Turkey HUNTING starts at 40yds and in. If you can kill him farther that’s all you’re doing- KILLING. Make him think he’s answering you, call him up, kill him closer-Man! Now that’s what it’s meant to be…” Johnnie Keel ( an Old Pro most never know)

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.

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!
