The 6mm of turkey calls

[juju]

I’ve got a few custom boxes that are all turkey. I’ve watched a pile of turkeys die with them in my hands.

With that said, I can run about any type of turkey call you can buy better than your average bear.

I kill more turkeys purring, whining, clucking and soft yelping with my natural voice while scratching leaves than anything else.

The 6mm of all hunting is woodsmanship. Calling him to a place he wants to be, giving him the high ground, having him get to the high ground where he’s looking for you within range, and actually sounding like a hen turkey is what you should be doing.

The game is about moving his feet, not his beak. Loud excited yelping and cutting more often than not is great for moving his beak, not so much on his feet.

My 6mm rem killed a bunch of turkeys it did a fine job

I guess a 20# bird is small enough for it to actually get the job done right for a change. Go fig.

I always carry a box call turkey hunting for when its windy. In Oklahoma, windy days are the norm.

I carried a long box for that for a while. Then I found some scratch boxes were louder and as effective. More so with a Morgans Begging Hen. Thing is they're louder where you are than where the turkey is. Air operated calls can be directional and carry further. And they mimic turkey exactly, whereas friction calls can only come very close; of which box calls are the worst.

I never said I was gods gift to turkey hunting. I said that woodsmanship kills turkeys. The specific type of call is irrelevant. If you can get turkey out of it while understanding what the turkey wants, you can kill turkeys with anything. If that fails, I guess you could crawl around behind a fan. Good luck this spring.

I would have no problem killing elk with it but use my 6.5 for that.

I’ve never used a call to kill a turkey, I just listen for them, and stalk, then shoot them.

Meanwhile we’re calling in Toms with a 10$ beard box. I think it’s funny people think you have to do everything exactly perfect and with knowledge passed on by the ancient one to kill a turkey I’ll keep my beard box and adjust accordingly for the circumstances of the day.

Glad I didn't know, what I didn't know.
I've been ignorantly killing birds with a box for over 40 years. Now I know better.

I opened this thread thinking the 6mm is the versatile, do it all caliber (big game, varmint, long range, light recoiling) and you were going to tell use the equivalent for turkey calls. However you are saying the complete opposite.

Your initial post didn’t even provide a reason why a 6mm is not good.

Additionally, you never offered an alternative to the box call and what you think is better. It is just a rant on your predjudice towards one call, At least tell us what you feel is superior and why.

No kidding.

Don't know why it matters so much to him.

6mm is the literal worst for medium and big game, but that's another thread. It was awesome. They may still be going on that one. I haven't checked.

All of the other calls, except maybe a Squealin' Hen, are better. That's what worst means. If something is the worst, then everything else is better.

I will say one thing for a box call. I never felt like I almost got knocked out by one. I killed a gobbler yesterday. It wasn't paying any heed to anything but a trumpet. I tried a pot call, but the bird was across a property line from public and probably heard a lot of those from people trying to call it out of there. Not so the trumpet! I keep my trumpets tethered to the call organizer I keep on my chest.

Anyhow, the gobbler collapsed at the shot. (.410 T9.5s at about thirty yards) I walked up to retrieve my prize. It hadn't so much as twitched until I touched it. They it came alive; not really, but you get the idea. At some point in the ensuing tumult a trumpet fell out of the pouch. The gobbler's wing found it. WHOP! I was stunned for a moment trying to realize what happened. The wing slung it around by the tether and put it upside my head like a nun chuck.

When I returned home and told my wife the tale, she told me I should keep the call in a display case and hunt with something else. The response to asking why was something like, "Do you have any idea what I paid for that thing? It's mammoth ivory. Put it in the display case and hunt with something else!"

The case has a lot of custom box calls in it. I just don't hunt with them anymore, because they're the worst.

How many lively threads on turkey calls do you see on here? Bueller?

You should probably just stick to turkey calls. Rifle calibers are not your thing.

You're lost. There's already a thread for that. This thread is about the worst of the turkey calls.

Considering his take on box calls...it doesn't seem like turkey calls are his thing either.

 

[Loper]

There's already a thread for that. This thread is about the worst of the turkey calls with a terrible analogy related to the 6mm caliber.

There….I fixed it for you.

You mean the thread that is 60 pages in and still hasn't been able to make a case against the 6mm? That one?
