RE: Fighting Purr
Fighting purrs are much louder and aggressive. They work best in tandem. I use Knight and Hale Fighting Purrs box calls, they come in a set of 2. Use them to simulate 2 hens fighting. This works great when a gobbler has a couple of hens with him. He will usually come over to check out the fight he thinks is going on. Be ready, if you hear a gobble when you are calling, you can bet he is coming.

RE: Fighting Purr
I put my slate btw my knees and use a striker in each hand for "fighting purrs". I also add some loud wing beats with a canvas cloth. It's been working pretty good this year to break toms out of strut zones.

RE: Fighting Purr
That's funny, I just heard some fighting purrs a couple days ago. Those hens were really going at it....very noisy not only with the vocals but with the wings flapping and leaves flying. I was in the woods. I started cutting and the hens came in shooting range but the Tom stayed back about 50 yards in the woods. I wasn't actually hunting, just calling in an area that I won't/can't be hunting in when my season opens in a week. Good learning experience.
....i've never used a fightin purr anywhere other than calling contests....lmao..
