PODCAST: Wake-up Call
It’s in the Teen’s outside. We picked up a couple inches of snow overnight. It’s going to be below-zero tomorrow night. So why am I thinking about turkey hunting? That is a long story.
It started right around New Year’s. For 15 years or more, I have had the TV in the bedroom fixed so that it works as my alarm clock. It turns on at 0600 every day and turns of around 0830. All that came to an end the other day. Time Warner sent an update to the cable box and now I can no longer leave the cable on all night. The first morning, I was nearly late for work. Then I got to work finding an alternative.
I have all this technology at hand– smart phone, tablet, laptop, etc. So I figured I would use an app to wake me up. That worked fine, but the dang alarm tones were insipid to say the least. I finally decided to make my own.
I still had gobs of material left over from my 2014 turkey hunts. After Angus got his gob, things got weird. I had numerous close calls, but never closed the deal. Sound-wise, however, it was a banner year. I was just so wrung-out at the end of season I did not take any material and make a podcast.
Better late than never, here is the best of about 40 hours of recording. This is not like my other podcasts, because it is just raw turkey sounds with no commentary, and no banjo music. The original recordings were from mid-April on a morning where all heck broke loose at the Honey Hole. I had several gobblers come in on me, but I could never get the cross-hairs on them. I selected the source tracks, because they were particularly clean and mixed it so it would be perfect wake-up music.
Let me know what you think:

There are about a half-dozen gobblers, two flocks of hens, and a lone hen and a gob that come in close. If you listen closely there are some fly-down cackles and a bit of flogging.
