What is that sound?

[MarlinSlayer]

Well we struck out at LBL.....nary a gobble or silent bird for that matter.
I did hear about two birds purr back at me from some thick stuff near evening.
Both at LBL and Chuck Swann we heard what sounded like a big water drip coming out of a faucet into a partially full metal pail. It goes 'doo ink...do oink ".

Saw two hens and a atom but were too far away and uninterested

I wonder if your hearing a gobbler drumming?

Same thought here TRS. Or it could be a couple of those beared hens "having at it" Or the jake drooling with excitement.

Spitting maybe

 

[Setterman]

Nope not spitting the elusive hen water drop call they make, it's a content happy hen noise they make when they are feeding along with other turkeys. I cannot mimic the sound on any call and have never heard anyone mimic it either

 

[muddyboots]

Don't know that I have ever heard that sound then.

Are you serious or are you fooling with me?

No fooling, though I didnt know the name of it. Its kinda like they are sucking in air into a hollow tube while feeding and it echos a bit.

 

[ImThere]

Pooinggg! Kinda what it sounds like to me

I've seen and heard a lot of hens but I'm not sure if I've heard this sound before.

I think this guy is way to proud of his own turkey calling, but this is the only video I've seen where they do this sound. Start at 7:30 mark. He calls it the "do-it" call. This similar to what you heard?

hmm, may have heard that sound before. Probably just assumed it was some kind of content cluck

I called a hen in Saturday mid day to about 12 feet away, she never knew I was there but its always neat to hear a hen and the HUGE range of sounds they make in the woods. No human could ever replicate their range.

Walter Parrot can imitate this sound better than anyone I have ever heard....

That can be said for the entire vocabulary of the hen turkey. Walter is definitely gifted in that arena, I think he is part turkey.

I don't doubt it, Walter can certainly blow a call well
