last night i was out and about on the mountain and heard a gobble from the upper fields, i went up witht the binos to check it out. as i got to the edge of the field i heard a gobble and lied down on my stomach. a rustling in the leaves got closer as a huge tom approached me all alone. he was maybe 40 yrds of, i had no call, no camo, and it was 9 days till open season...i cant do squat. so i figured what the heck and made sure no one was looking and then proceeded to try my best to sound like a hen yelp with my mouth...it was horrendouse. however the tom gobbled back mid yelp, i tryed again with the same result. i closed the distance to a mere 10 feet away then promply stood up and told the tom "i would have had you", he looked rather embarresed made several nervouse clucks and proceeded to run away. just thought i should share cuz this doesnt happen to often, least not to me. they're funny birds. next time you maKe a bad note keep calling, cuz it will sound more like a turkey than i did, believe me!

Neet story man.
COOL story Cory!!!!!!!!!!
Here is a little trick to calling with your mouth.....
cup both hands around your mouth,and take your index fingers and pinch your nose.Then say.....Yelp,Yelp,Yelp,Yelp.....pinching your nose makes it sound very "nasely"and "raspy"
I taught both of my boys to do this, but my Little Guy Tyler is the BEST!!!!! If you put him in another room with his brother and a box call,you would be hard pressed to tell which call was the box call and which was Tyler!!!!!
sweet I wish I had more time to do that stuff
