Quick Answer
Using a mouth call is better for soft sequences as it allows for more nuanced and subtle tones, making it ideal for imitating the softer, more gentle sounds of a turkey's natural vocalizations.
The Art of Soft Sequences
When it comes to calling on quiet days, the goal is to mimic the subtle sounds a turkey would make in a normal setting. A mouth call allows you to produce a wide range of tones, from a soft, gentle “yelp” to a more urgent “cluck.” By using a mouth call, you can create a sequence of sounds that sounds like a real turkey, increasing the chances of attracting a bird.
Choosing the Right Mouth Call
For soft sequences, look for a mouth call that produces a smooth, even tone. Avoid calls with harsh or bright sounds, as these can be off-putting to a turkey. Consider a call with a medium to high pitch range, as this will allow you to produce a wider variety of tones. Some popular options include the Hennedale and the Enforcer.
Techniques for Soft Sequences
When using a mouth call for soft sequences, it’s essential to focus on subtlety. Start with a soft “yelp” or “cluck” and gradually increase the volume and intensity of the call as you see fit. Pay attention to your surroundings and adjust your calling accordingly. If you’re in a dense thicket, for example, you may want to keep your calls softer and more muffled, while in an open field you can be more aggressive with your calling. Practice different calling sequences and techniques to find what works best for you.
