Cutting on a Pot Call: Creating Sharp, Excited Turkey Sounds
1m 3s
In this episode of Call the Wild by Slayer Calls, we explore how to create the cutting sound on a pot call, an essential turkey vocalization. Similar to the cluck, the key is to maintain consistent pressure as you pull the striker across the call. Once you have the basic cluck down, the next step is to speed up your cadence while keeping the striker connected to the surface at all times. By alternating between pulling down and letting up, you can create a rapid, sharp cutting sound that mimics an excited turkey.
The beauty of cutting lies in its versatility, as you can adjust the cadence and frequency to mimic different turkey behaviors. Experimenting with different patterns will help you fine-tune your calls and add variety to your turkey calling repertoire. Whether you're trying to get the attention of a distant bird or simulate the excitement of a group, mastering the cutting sound will enhance your calling effectiveness.
