After 30 years of turkey hunting I’ve heard a lot of these myths. You are correct in all of this and on 4-14-2024 in north Alabama, I saw a turkey with my own eyes swim across a ditch.

My dad was an old school turkey hunter like that. He got his start hunting turkeys in south Mississippi in the early 70s. I saw the man kill a heaping pile of turkeys through the years. He firmly believed that birds hated to go down hill, and always called very soft and rarely ever yelped. He also believed that hunting a field first thing in the morning was a waste of time because turkeys hate getting the dew on their feet. Lol I miss him. He was a hell of a woodsman.

I have two Missouri seasons and 4 turkeys worth of experience now, and I didn't even see one until I took advice from your video about what new hunters do wrong. I'll definitely purge my mind of those myths. Thanks again!

Great job Dale! I get a kick out of all the myths out there. You said it right they think Gobblers have human reasoning ability lol. They have also killed "a lot of turkeys" one per year for 10-15 years. It's all relative I guess but I've learned the myths because I've been blessed to guide and video 20-30 successful hunters for 15 years and hunted for 26. That equals "a lot of turkeys". You were so spot on about hunters over thinking and believing myths.

Couldn’t agree more with the “Cluck and Purr” comments. I know the videos you’re talking about and when I heard this host say that clucking and purring was an alarm sound I almost fell out of my chair. If you do the call correctly, it has the complete opposite effect! It can calm down turkeys who are nervous! This same call with completely different inflection can be an alarm call, but the turkeys body language and speed/volume of calling is what determines that! I wonder how many people saw this other guys video and now don’t use one of the most vital calls in turkey hunting.

Turkeys are call shy😉...... remember the one we worked for 4 hours and called and called and eventually we were able to set up a little closer and call some more and after 45 minutes of calling he finally came in? You was purring and clucking A LOT too.... I’m pretty sure that ol turkey broke ALL myths! That was a 3+ year old too.

lol.. I've heard these myths and lies before as well.. I find the putt and cluck myth interesting though, never heard that one.. I use it often and just like raking the leaves, it really brings in some of them stubborn toms.. I agree with what you mention about birds being "call shy" .. I don't recall ever seeing birds not be receptive to calls in the early season... I have experienced stubborn birds that wouldn't come to calls but I think they're just educated.. they've been called to, shot at and seen too many humans and decoy spreads.. People making those excuses about being call shy just might not understand the multitude of scenarios that could lead to birds not coming in.. too much movement, bad decoy placement/spread, could be something preventing them from coming in , might have another hen closer that is easier/quicker to get to. who knows.. great video..

I have to disagree, in a way, on number 2. I've heard the alarm putt purr many times but it's always been from roosted turkeys I've been busted by and always loud. What you're talking about is soft calling. Turkeys do it all the time while feeding and no it doesn't alarm them. Maybe people that say it does, and I've read in turkey hunting magazines that it's an alarm call, have experienced being busted by roosted turkeys or just calling way too loud. The feeding purr putt/putt purr, which ever you wanna call it and probably should be called purr cluck is veryyyy soft and will not scare turkeys. Turkeys do not call soft when alarmed because soft calls won't alarm other turkeys around them.
