To make the call really reach out, yelp from a ridge or hilltop. It’s a good searching call because it can be heard from a long way off, letting a tom lock onto your location. The lost yelp has a desperate, pleading sound to it you can use it as a searching call when quieter calls haven’t gotten you a gobble in reply and you can’t locate a tom. Her voice may even break into a raspy tone from calling so loud and long. When a hen wants company or to rejoin her group, she cuts loose with a long string of 10 to 30 loud yelps. Pot and box calls: Yelp with less pressure on the peg or paddle, a little more slowly than the plain yelp. Mouth call: Barely opening your mouth, softly yelp three to six times, a little more slowly than a plain yelp. If you stay quiet, you’ll make him fly down and come looking for you. If he gobbles, stop yelping or he will stay up on his limb waiting for a hen to show up below him before he flies down. If you are set up near a roosted tom at first light, use this call once or twice to let him know where you are. The tree yelp is a nasally sounding call because the birds seem to barely open their beaks. When hens awaken at first light, their first call from the roost limb is a soft three- to six-note sequence of yelps, used to reconnect with nearby flock mates. Don’t lift the paddle off the sideboard on the back stroke. Once you’ve found the sweet spot, stroke the paddle back and forth quickly over it to make the yelps. Experiment with pressure, and the angle of the peg until it sounds right.īox call: Pass the paddle lightly over the side panel from outside toward the middle to find the place where the tone changes from high to low. Draw a three-quarter-inch circle on the pot toward the centre and repeat without lifting the peg off the surface.
