Quick Answer
You should change your calling technique frequently, ideally every 10-15 minutes, to avoid habituation by Nebraska turkeys and maintain their curiosity and interest.
Frequency of Technique Changes
When hunting Nebraska turkeys, it’s essential to vary your calling technique every 10-15 minutes to keep the birds engaged. This frequency allows you to create a sense of unpredictability and curiosity, increasing the likelihood of getting a response from the turkeys. For example, if you’re using a diaphragm call, switch to a mouth call for a few series, then try a box call to mix things up.
Key Call Types for Nebraska Turkeys
The key to success when hunting Nebraska turkeys lies in using a combination of calls that mimic the sounds made by the various gobblers and hens in the area. Focus on using a series of 3-5 calls before pausing to allow the turkeys to respond. For Nebraska turkeys, some effective calls include: 1) the loud, clear “gobble” sound on a box call, 2) the softer, more raspy “yelp” sounds on a diaphragm call, and 3) the deeper, more throaty “kee-kee” sounds on a mouth call.
