Biologists have confirmed that wild turkeys have at least 29 different calls or vocalizations, ranking them among the most vocal of birds.

How often should you yelp when turkey hunting?

If a bird only gobbles at every three or four calling sequences and doesn't move much, it's probably wise to tone down your calling to soft clucking, purring and yelping. Call every few minutes, and act like a disinterested hen going about her daily routine.

How many times can a turkey gobble?

But keep this in mind. You can't expect a turkey to gobble 50 or more times in the afternoon like he might first thing in the morning. Most birds won't even gobble as much as they might around 9 or 10 a.m. You need to crow call or hen cutt and listen closely for a faint gobble or two.
