They are indeed tougher to call in than western turkeys, partly because they don't talk as much. But it's not impossible, even for a hick from Montana.
No offense intended, John. Turkeys can be a challenge anywhere, mainly because they have excellent eyesight and can pick up the slightest movement. And calling one in to close range can be about as exciting as anything. There's a reason folks get addicted to it.
"An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown
