Wild Bird Calls Attract Turkeys and Ducks

Filed under: Game Calls for Hunting

There are specific types of calls that were made to attract specific type of animals. However, there are some types of calls that can also draw in more than one kind of animal. To be specific, several hunters have noted how wild bird calls are also effective in attracting turkeys and ducks.

Exactly what type of sounds do these wild bird calls produce?

Clucking Sound

This is a friendly type of call and is really effective with drawing wild birds to respond. But this exact same sound will surely capture a turkey’s attention as well. In order to produce this particular sound using your wild bird calls, you need to gather air from your diaphragm and blow into the reed to create that sound. You can also use the palm of your hand to tap against the pin for a more effective reproduction of this sound.

Cutting Sound

This type of wild bird call is often made by a female turkey in search of a companion, which explains why it is really effective in drawing in turkeys. Still using a diaphragm call, you must combine fast and sharp clucks done in rapid succession to accurately mimic this sound. You need to add a bit of pressure onto the handle, and then follow it up with a series of sharp and fast clucks for better results.

Yelp

Yelping is the most common method of communication used by turkey. Hence, you can also utilize the yelping sound produced by wild bird calls for attracting turkeys within the area. However, a yelp is also considered a multi-purpose call, which makes it all the more important for you to learn.

Other Wild Bird Calls

*Feed call This type of sound suggests that a source of food is nearby. And since food bait is one of the oldest tricks for hunting, it is no wonder why this is highly effective.

*Lonesome hen call This is a sound produced by a female in search of a companion, hence it will surely capture any nearby male birds.

*Hail call This is a type of sound that invites any wild animals within the nearby area to come together.
