about 1972 i had a casset tape with Ben Rodgers Lee instructional turkey calling id listen and practice nightly. He used that whine and i have for 50years

Mr. Dale, I started turkey hunting at about 19 years old. My family are all deer hunters. Your educational videos have taught me so much over the years. I’m 26 now and I can’t tell you how many birds I’ve stood over thinking, “thank you Matt Dale.” I killed my 3rd gobbler this year in Alabama using the whine as a matter of fact. Thank you for what you do and keep the tips coming.

Just wanted to say man you’re advice helped us seal the deal on our first turkeys this season after 3 years of turkey hunting! I appreciate it man keep up the good work!

The wine always helps my turkey season along, my wife prefers a semi-sweet red. It's helped me get thru quite a few seasons. 😉 Thank you, I love your content, keep up the great job sir!

Had the 11 year old grandson out this morning in Pa youth day he got a gobbler

Hey matt, I used the whine call you show me, and I’m the guy you said in your video would come Back to you and thank you, well thank you it worked like a charm, it drove the turkeys crazy and I was able to harvest a nice turkey using the whine call you taught me.

Love your videos! Watch em over n over every yr. Thanks for all the info!

Thank you for sharing, can't wait to try it this Spring. Have a blessed day. PB

I been Turkey hunting around 26 years and this been my go to sweet nothing I whisper to them when nothing and it’s crazy the response you get alot of the time great video!!!

I use this call myself I’ve hunted turkeys for about 40 yrs still can’t get enough of it take care and all the best to ya 🦃

Matt a few years ago I walked up to my listening spot on a farm I hunt at about 11:30 am and soon as I got there I heard a hen. I got set up by a big beech tree and man she was all around me and I had never heard anything like it. She would moan is the best way I can describe it. So much so that I named her Mona. She went on for quite a while and now and then I would call lightly and she would start up again. She left finally or so I thought and then I saw a head coming up over the bank and thought it was her. Then I realized it was a red head. Big Tom came in silent and I rolled him. The very next morning I was there before daylight at the same beech tree set up and up the pipe line above me she started up. It was Mona !!! A gobbler started hammering and after just a few soft calls from me and moans from Mona she dragged him right down to me. Big Tom number 2 rolled him at 10 yards. I told my brother about Mona and let him listen to her on my phone and the very next morning he and I set up at the beech. Mona started up again and Big Tom number 3 started hammering at about 100 yards across the little hollow. This time I guess Mona was tired of getting her boyfriends killed so she walked right past us and went to the Tom. I have killed a truck load of turkey since 1996 when I killed my first one but that was the most insane thing I’ve ever heard a hen do. Needless to say I have mastered the moan and use it often.

Thank you for sharing tried this call on 2 different toms this morning friend harvested the first one and 30 minutes later we got on another one sealed the deal on both in 5 minutes the whine will be a call I'll be definitely using again

Thanks for the lesson, I look forward to trying it next trip to the turkey woods.

Been turkey huntin for 20+ years, used the whine yesterday morning and Ive honestly haven’t before. It changed this Arkansas birds mood like I’ve not ever seen, I’m obsessed with the call and all of your content Matt. Best there is out there on the internet period. This man knows everything he is teaching and very well at that, much appreciation man, sincerely!

Dale your lessons have directly lead to all my success getting them turkeys. Have had a great season chasing the Rio out here in CA so far. Many thanks for all your help!!!

Superb content Matt none better and very few as good as your ability to teach turkey hunting Definitely made me a better hunter

This call has helped me harvest 3 of the 4 turkeys this year

Been using a whine for at least 40 years ! Sometimes it’s a magnet on a string !! It has killed me a bunch of turkeys ! If you can make it whimper it can be a game changer !

Love the wine with soft purr on slate also. On box twist paddle with a little pressure and slow down a bit let is it skip and drag.

I’m so happy that I found you im the worst turkey hunter that was created

I was just looking for a video on the whine! Thanks dale going to practice that

Thanks for the tip. Had one hung up at 60 yards and I bet this would’ve done it!

Cool addition to the arsenal. Thanks man

I killed my first turkey during youth indiana season this year and your videos really helped me understand how to call with diffrent calls and how to understand and identify turkeys

Thanx for the info, it works, seen it and done it!

Killer man. I’d forgotten about that call. Used it for years and it killed toms for me then I forgot it for some reason and it’s likely cost me turkeys. I’m back on the whine wagon now though and opening day 3 days away. Can’t wait for 35 sleep deprived days of Christmas in the Spring!

Thanks for this Dale!

I agree 100 percent been using it for 35 years l prefer it over the purr good explanation

Michigan opening day today and I gave this call a try and pulled him from 3 hens in the timber to about 80 before they got him back I would say it works he got the kitchen sink and the whine almost did the trick

My 1st season period c in Wisconsin. Came to calls off roast. Done by 6:30. 2nd season took one an a half days. 3 Tom’s came in quiet at 9:00 patience, patience, patience that’s what killed me a lot of mid morning Tom’s. 2 tags left. Thanks Matt

Good tip 👍🏻 Remember that squeal call by H.S. Strut?

Like what I'm seeing and hearing here, anxious to try this whine technique, I subscribe, like your character 👊

Matt that's a great call. I've used it for years when, like you said, gobblers out their and needs a push just a bit closer...... Booom

Will try!

Hey Dale, glad to hear your season is going well!! still waiting for that Tidewe vest from the raffle?!?

Babe wake up dale outdoors just posted a new video!

Excellent video buddy , anyway what kind of gun is that you using

What are the best diaphragm cuts for producing soft wines and whits? I can do wines pretty well on ghost cut calls but I can’t for the life of me make the will will sound.

Man I miss Alex Rutledge. Used to watch him a lot when he was with HS. What a hunter, caller, all around good guy.

I had a messed up deal happen to me a few days ago. It invovled a monster Tom and Two hens, lets say everything went great till it did not. you might get a kick out of the video.. I used that very tool to get that tom to come with two hens trailling.

What kind of mouth call do you use? I’ve been turkey hunting since I was 13 and I’m 36 now. I’ve called in a few but was only able to kill one. Just started using a mouth call a few years ago. I’m not all that great with it yet

When will the ol sly box call be back in stock?

Lol.....I think I have been doing it already on my aluminum slate by accident trying to purr and click.....and it has worked.....what u just did is how my purr with one or two clucks sounds like.. Lol

What cut mouth call?

Thanks for sharing this tip. Quick question, what kind of camo is that you’re wearing? It looks perfect

Sounds kinda like the kee kee run with cluck instead of a yelp

If you want to come to south Alabama let me know

Dale how do you store your mouth calls after season for next year ?????

I watched the Alabama hunt. Congratulations. I suppose I'm outta luck. I only use a box n pot to call.

The roof of my mouth is shaped like a "V" so i can't use mouth calls. Anyone know how to do this on slate? Or ona box? Or even IF you can?

I literally just did this today and begged my second turkey at 10:45 after not hearing anything

The absolute most deadly call in the morning is my 12ga sounding off, it's a call that gobbler only hears once.

Another deadly call is..hey have you seen that KZfaq video lol

I can tell the mood my wife is in by her whines....

I hate the whine. My girlfriend is always whining that I turkey hunt too much, wake her up leaving for turkey hunting, spend too much money on turkey stuff. I wish she would leave the whining to the birds.

As a Tennessee resident and hunter I stop hunting turkey do to the falling population of turkey.. the failing turkey population is due to the poor management practices of TWRA and the TWRA officers who fail to do their jobs.. the call you are making is related to feeding and close social calls and breeding purposes.

As far as calling goes, in general, can you really over call???? I try to sound like multiple hens. Turkeys seem to talk, in one way or another, constantly. Especially if there are multiple birds together. One is bound to be talking.

60% of the time it works every time
