Master Turkey Calling with Cody McCarthy: Learn at Your Own Pace
Mastering the Soft Purr and Cluck Combo
1m 22s
In this episode of Call the Wild by Slayer Calls, we break down an advanced yet highly effective turkey vocalization—a soft purr combined with a gentle cluck. This subtle call mimics the natural sounds of a content hen, creating a realistic and reassuring atmosphere for nearby birds. Keeping the mouth closed and muffling the purr helps maintain the soft, natural tone, while adding occasional clucks and whines enhances the authenticity of the sequence.
This call isn’t meant to be loud or demanding. Instead, it’s a way to keep communication going when a gobbler is nearby but has gone quiet. It reassures him that everything is safe, subtly encouraging him to move in and search for the source of the sound. The more realistic elements you incorporate into your calling, the more convincing you become in the field. Keep practicing, refine your technique, and watch how these small details can make a big difference in your success. Stay tuned for the next episode to keep building your skills.
