Those turkeys produced young turkeys. By 1978 Minnesota had enough wild turkeys to begin to hunt a few without danger that they all would disappear. Turkey Calls To get a tom close to you, you must sit very still for a long time - sometimes for hours. And you must try to trick the tom into thinking you are a hen. To do this, you use a call that mimics a hen s call.
Hens make many calls - including a yelp and a cluck.
A yelp says, I m here, and everything s okay. A cluck means, I d like to get together. A tom answers a hen s call by gobbling. Then it moves slowly and cautiously toward the hen. A person must practice to learn how fast to call and when to call like a hen.
