You're very close.

Here's another map, not really about weather, but showing the local area. I live adjacent to the swarm of yellow and orange dots in the center.

Absofuckinglutely beautiful here today.

75 and sunny. I'm for watching it get dark on the river later. Maybe I'll hear coyotes. I'm taking my owl-hooter w/me, gonna try to get a turkey to gobble back at me.

No, not owl hooters, an owl-hooter:

You puff air into it while semi-voicing the phrase "who cooks for you, who cooks for you all". If a tom turkey hears this, he can't help himself, he'll gobble.

Can you record what that sounds like and upload it?
Why does a tom turkey respond to an owl-hooter?
Not being a smart-ass, I want to know.
We're tipping into warm weather here, finally ... barn swallows are back and nesting in the front porch, all the birds are busy. The irises are almost ready to bloom, lilacs just finished. This place is crazy beautiful in May.

Well now that is way over there Big. Temps over here in SE NC have been running 94 with a 65 dew point.
Rain today the first week of white bike week. Now known as Harley week. See used to be the white bikers would go one week and the black bikers the next. Then they switch so one or the other can have Memorial Day weekend. They still do it this way, but we must be politically correct on what we call it.
Yes a little rain is good. We need it bad. Nothing else it be down in the 80's this week.

The turkey responds because the owl and the turkey are either natural enemies, or competitors for the same area, I'm not really sure. But it's weird, that turkey just cannot not gobble when he hears that kind of owl.

My hooter is pretty much the same as this guy's, but, mine doesn't have the extra ports, and is a bit deeper/lower in tone, but the technique and sound is very similar to this:

Instead of the trill at the end, around these parts we end with more of a 'hoo-ah'.

Gravdigr · 05-15-2017, 02:30 PM

Maybe it's because the turkey is jealous of the owl's silent flight?

BigV · 05-18-2017, 03:28 PM

am I missing something about the number of syllables in the second phrase who cooks for you all?

Gravdigr · 05-18-2017, 11:26 PM

The last part, 'you all', comes out kinda like Pacino's huu-wah. The guy in the vid puts more of a trill on the end.

I would've thought that since you from KY you would know the correct pronunciation is y'all.

Heh.

Turkeys enunciate.

Gravdigr · 05-21-2017, 01:25 PM

LOTS of rain lately. Going down to the river to see how high it's gotten. See if m'table and chair are gone. Pretty sure they will be. They're probably in the next state. Literally. It's only about 2, maybe 4 river miles to the next state.

'Sposed to be 80 today, w/sun & clouds.

Gonna be bad muddy, though. Might have to walk from the gate, as I have street tires on GC1. That's almost a mile. Through muddy tractor road, or walking alongside it, through waist high grass. And the blood-thirsty, sabre-toothed redneck ticks (not to mention the deer ticks) that infest it. I guess it'll be long pants, duct tape, and Permanone. I'll have to burn some herbaceous substance, as well.

Y'know...To keep the mosquitoes away.

captainhook455 · 05-23-2017, 08:54 AM

Rain yesterday and today. Thank Buddha. It was drier than a toad fart down here.
I had to water my roses so the fucking bugs could have something sweet to eat. Sevin dust and Raid took care of those buggers. Then it supposed to be pl
