The goal with this tactic is to lure a dominate hen to you for a fight, often times bringing the gobbler with her.

You will want to mimic her calls, while cutting off her vocalizations and being a bit more excited. If a gobbler is henned up, and one of the hens is cutting, you can cutt back in an attempt to bring her to you. Loud, sharp clucks that are often mixed with yelping. Cutting is a sign that turkeys are excited, not alarmed. Cutting has several uses in hunting. The cluck and purr is a cluck followed by a rolling, almost staccato call. It is often associated with flock talk or the feeling of contentment. Typically not a loud call, though sometimes it can be amplified, it is good for reassuring turkeys as they get close to your position. It can also be used while birds are still on the roost to subtly let a gobbler know you are there. The plain cluck often includes two or three single note clucks. It's generally used by one bird to get the attention of another and a good call to reassure an approaching gobbler that a hen is waiting for him. This is a great call while trying to encourage gobbler to come into range if he starts to hang up. The cluck consists of one or more short, staccato notes.

The adult hen assembly call is a series of loud yelps, usually a little more emphatic and longer than a standard series of yelps. The assembly yelp is used by a hen to assemble her flock or young poults. It is a good call in the fall when trying to call a scattered flock back together.
