How far can you hear the spit n drum ? I have good hearing for most common sounds ,,,I think . But the spit n drum eludes me beyond 30 yards . Too many years working in a factory full of huge electric motors humming and air hose leaks,,,,,,,or maybe 30 + years of handgunnin'.
There is nothing I can do but get aggravated at myself for not protecting my hearing when I see a turkey spit n drum and I can't hear it . But oh boy ! When I do hear it ,,,,especially when I was unaware of a turkey being nearby ,,,that is sweet satisfaction ,,,,,I know he's close enough to shoot and I fooled him good . The last day of last springs season I was fortunate to hear it . He came walking up right behind me . I watched him walk away unspooked . Hey ! I could have shot him or at least shot at him , but , IT WAS EARLY AND I HAD THE REST OF THE DAY TO HUNT .
