| | Im a beginner to turkey hunting and just wanted to get some opinions on clear and raspy yelps. Are raspy yelps better than clear yelps in a hunting situation? what do you prefer clear or rasy? |

| | roll tide, To answer your question...both. The yelp is a 2 tone call. If you listen carefully, even the raspiest hens have a higher pitched/clearer front end before they break off into the rasp. So, no matter if I'm doing a plain yelp or a more aggressive yelp, I'll always try to get a clear front end and a raspy back end. So, what I'll be varying is not whether the yelps are clear or raspy (because they are a little of both), but the volume and cadence of the call, as well as the length of the calling series. Unless of course, you're doing a tree yelp/call. This call is a clear (no rasp), low tone call. Hope this helps! Jason |

| | I recommend going to the woods (full camo) several times before season opens to listen to the birds waking up in the morning. You will learn more from the masters, the turkeys themselves, than anything. You'll here multiple calls and tones associated with them. I think the most important thing to get down is the cadence of the turkeys in your hunting area. p.s. see my post in the "turkey" section under first calls of the morning. It should help too. |

| | I seem to have better luck with the raspy tones where i hunt in West Ga. But i guess its like 2beards said, its a good idea to go out and listen and make your choice from that. Good luck!! |
