This is a great little unit. Not only can you send a distress signal should you need help. Depending on the service you buy with it, others can actually track your position online. Perfect for any outdoorsman.

As I’m trying to learn how to run a diaphram call for my upcoming turkey hunts. I realized something. Back in 04, I went on my first elk hunt. Couldn’t make a proper sound to save my 
I was obvioulsy using the wrong calls, cuz I sure can make these turkey calls sound like sweet music to a mating bull. 
Seriously, at one point I got the packaging out of the trash to be sure I didn’t buy an elk kit. 
It’s getting better, but I’m not willing to chance a bird in the field on what I’ve learned so far. With all my hot air, this is one thing I figured would be easy to pick up. 
I just read an interesting article on using mouth calls The author claimed that he learned by listening to the radio and copying the music note for note he said the song “disco duck” was the one that did it for him then turkey noises were very easy to make 
My favorite “you might be a redneck” Is if you can play “achy breaky heart” on your turkey call you might be a redneck
practice makes perfect!by the end of turkey season a fella sounds like a pretty sweet young hen keep after it

Gut, have you played your rendition of ymca yet for Kooty??? 
I just kept one in my truck and blew away all the time. It will come. Are you saying the words “shoot” for a yelp and “cluck” or “cut” for a cluck? Purrs take a bit more practice. KiKi’s are relatively easy though. I had good luck in the Spring with KiKi runs.
I have played a bit with them in the past and was succesfull calling turkeys into my yard a few years ago so when I went this year it wasn’t brand new but really all I can do with it is some pretty loud yelps(?). I used it when trying to locate a tom to go after. Once I felt they were close I switched to a box call that I was more comfortable with making quieter purrs and clucks.
Worked out good for me but the birds I was hunting were NOT pressured at all yet this year so may have been more vulenrable to bad calling on my part! 
Thanks for the article Pat. I’ve read it once and will re-read again this week. Now it’s time to find a copy of disco duck.

Good luck 
One thing I picked up from a CD I have is to drop your jaw at the end of each yelp or cluck to give that note the right sound at the end, If you have any footage of a real hen yelping you are doing the same thing with your jaw as she is with her beak.
Jaw movement is the key to make the sounds realistic.

YEP! I learned that from one of best turkey callers in the world – Jeff Fredrick!
