i dont have many birds around my area but im still going to give it a try. how long should i call and how long should i wait between calls? i never got a shot on the big yote running around my woods so i dont know even know if theres any turkeys left or not.one things for sure it will just feel good to be back in the woods again.

I would start off with a hoot owl call or a crow call to locat the bird or A bird. Then figure out his general location and try and get closer,,move in 40-50 yards and give a soft yelp or cluck and see if he responds,,if he does and sounds closer then set yourself up back against a tree or bush and face the direction he called from. Then give a good couple of yelps and basically just read the birds reaction. If he keeps coming closer as he gobbles then let it get quiet and just watch for him, if you don`t see him in 10-15 mins give a soft yelp and see if he is still in the area. You have to remember the hens USUALLY go TO the gobbler,, capturing ones interest enough to come to the hen is the game. Once you know he is getting real close then sit and wait, but keep your calling to about 10 mins or so apart, unless he is gobbling his head off then that means he is really wanting to find you and a small amount of help will bring him in.
