Creating a Purr on a Pot Call: Soft & Subtle Techniques for Turkey Communication
2m 20s
In this episode of Call the Wild by Slayer Calls, we cover how to create a purr on a pot call, a subtle but effective sound for turkey communication. To begin, the positioning of your striker on the call is key—placing it closer to the middle will result in a louder sound, while moving it toward the edge produces a softer, more natural purr. The technique is similar to making a yelp, but with a gentler, smoother motion as you drag the striker across the surface of the call.
To produce a soft, quiet purr, think of it like making a half-circle motion with the striker, keeping the pressure light and steady. The key to success with this sound is to keep the striker loose in your hand, with the edge facing away from you as you gently pull it toward you. This ensures the purr sounds natural and relaxed. The soft, subtle nature of the purr can be a game-changer when trying to coax a turkey in close, especially when he’s searching for that quiet, contented sound.
