Some turkey hunters call using their own voices. In New Jersey, a call must be in one's possession. Most hunters use a handmade or commercial calling device. Turkey calls come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Beginners would be wise to start with a box call.
More hunters are successful with box calls than any other call.
Other calls utilize air blown from the mouth or pulled into the call by mouth. The beginner should try a number of calls to determine which can be mastered. Once a type of turkey call is selected, practice is the key to success. Respect property rights of others. Be positive of your target.
