Just curious, which owl hooter and crow call is everybody using that you believe gets the most consistent shock gobbles from turkeys? I'm partial to the Harrison hooter, or I simply use my natural voice to good effect. I'm still searching for a crow call I really like. Any suggestions?

Gibson on the crow call... I let mother nature wake the turkey's up.. i don't like all that Owl hooting from the ground giving my location away ... Sometimes i might use crow call , but very seldom..

Gibson here as well on the crow call, also have the Harrison hooter. I don't use either early in the morning often.

I don't know about owl or crow hooters but most people around my hunting areas slam doors and talk real loud to each other right about Gobbling time? They also throw a lot of garbage out in the woods....not sure if that helps the Gobbling but it is pretty standard practice for people that breath out of their mouth.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

You need to try a peacock call.

I own a Harrison owl hooter. It sounds real nice.

I also use a coyote howler from flextone, I had great success roosting with the coyote howler.

Real hard on an aluminum call like a coyote is sometimes good.

I use my natural voice to owl call. Actually learned to sound reasonable while training my uvula to flutter to purr on a mouth call. I don't hoot every morning, but if it's slow I will, or I'll do it to try to start up the real owls. Opening day last year had 5 barred owls land in the tree I was on and start going crazy, which was a pretty neat experience.

I carry a cheap crow call, but probably only took it out of my vest 2-3 times last year. I've only used it when I have a gobbler reasonably located, but need him to gobble one more time to decide whether to set up at spot "A" or "B", and he hasn't heard a hen call yet, and I don't want him to until I'm set up.
