I have spent literally hours working that call. I am now were I want to be with it and have been using it in the field.
Second period I finally used it on 3 hung up toms...I figuered I had nothing to lose...they each had an anchor hanging off their butts! Soooooo......
I let loose with three gobbles to release the green monster...jelousy!
The birds gobbled back and I went silent! I supposed it was about 10 minutes later, I hit the slate and they gobbled a mere 25 yards away in the woods. Minutes later I was drawing on the lead Tom...and that...is another story!
Today I had two hens in the deaks and I figured I would have some fun and let loose with a gobble...they lifted their heads and looked at my strutter and went about feeding.
Watch You Tube Videos on gobbler calls. I really like the Haint commercial.
They have another gobbler call and it called the "Haint". It's wood and to own one, will cost you 49.99 and the govenors share!
Mixed reviews...everyone had their favorite, but I can and do sound like the callers on the Haint call, so I'll save my money!
Tucka, Tucka, Tuka or Tocka Tocka Tocka...is what they ask ya to do.
When I was a kid we played army and we made the machine gun noise with our mouths and that works just as good for me. Not everyone can do that including my 12 year old son...but they have air soft gun now...we had willow branches!
Practice, practice and then practice some more...it'll come around I would suspect!
Good Luck and Good Hunting!
I know many turkey hunters but have not met one yet that can gobble with any consitancy on a box call. I've tried for years off and on with limited sucess. But who knows, if it works for ladder, maybe it will work for you!
Watch Knight and Hale and then check out the trailer for the Haint call - pricey and from what I have heard not much difference than the Knight and Hale! Sure make a neat commercial!
5 R's ya dont hunt out of a blind? I'm addicted to em! I fear my days of running and gunnin' are behind me.... :^)
Good luck!
No I don't, I can't stand hunting out of them. I would rather have my back against a tree.
Sharpspur-
I can gobble with my diaphragm calls I just can't get them to sound how I want them to, especially this year, for some reason I can't get them to seat in my mouth very good. They are the same type and brand I've used for years, there is just something different with them.
Ya got me thinking however...can a knife really be "too sharp"?
Thanks for the update, sounds like ya scored BIG time with the Haint!!!
I also like their acorn cruncher call for deer. And the call that sounds like a feeder going off for pigs. lmao
Both those calls are clearly gimmicks and used to boost sagging sales.
I own the Hale and I have read enough reviews on the Haint -
I know the Hale works as it was clearly responsible for moving three hung up toms into 12 yards for a bow shot.
Like everything else, it doesnt work everytime, but when it does it makes the difference up between tag filled and tag soup!
Or, you could just use 100 dollar apiece decoys to lure them in! :^)
It's all were you want to spend your $$$.
Shoot straight!
We used 7 of them, LOL... It was pretty cool to see how the birds re-acted to them.
I like using a gobble call, I was just trying to make a joke. That's all... There are so many "gimmick" calls and other useless items on the market these days it's downright hilarious.
Seven!!!! I'd have to get another part time job and talk real sweet to the wife for at least 5 months to pull that one off. Ya gotta be a single!
Your right about the gimmick calls, a tad upsetting to see good companies try and "market" what is obviously garbage to hunters.
Hilarious on one hand, down right sad on the other as guys spend hard earned cash on that junk. Not only that but the high hopes it generates only to find out down the road it's trash!
All about the $$.
Best of luck!
