Challenging Gobblers with Ray Eye
In this episode, I interview the ever entertaining Ray Eye about challenging gobblers.
Ray talks about using gobbler yelps, jake yelps, and gobbles to challenge a male turkey's spot in the pecking order. We talk about the best times of the spring mating season to try this strategy. And, Ray also discusses how he uses gobbler yelps to pull Toms away from a flock of hens.
Challenging gobblers can sometimes be the only way to kill a stubborn old boss gobbler, and Ray is certainly an expert on the topic. Incorporate some of Ray's strategies into your turkey hunts next season and see if it will work for you.
For those of you who do not know who Ray Eye is, well, here's a little about Ray...
