Turkey Calling

[Jimbo]

I believe ther is a turkey or turkeys in the woods behind my house, and while not a hunter, I have some calls I play around with. I tried sitting out there, but I guess the thing wasn't around when I was. I have a slate turkey call. At various times of the day, though more so around sunset now, I'm really not sure which it is I hear, a putt-putt-putt or cluck-cluck-cluck but I've been trying to imitate it. Just trying to get a rise out of the thing, but it seems to get no louder or softer like it was interested or not. Maybe I'm not responding right. The sound usually goes on 7-12 times in succession. Does anyone understand turkey talk? Should I be responding with what I'm hearing or another way.
