Turkey's respond to owl call.

I know my owl calling is pretty pathetic but it's a real charge to get them to respond several times.

How many of you use your voice or do you uxe commercial calls.?

[Cut N Run]

I think the owl calls out of my mouth sound better than store bought ones I've used for the most part. The Hootin' Stick I bought does sound pretty good though. I suppose the best part about being able to use my own voice is I always have it with me and I don't need to worry about it taking up room in my vest.

I've not found a call that sounds better when I blow it than what I can do with my mouth, so I don't use an owl call.

I agree most owl calls arn't that good. I have a very old Crow call that was my father in laws that works pretty good.

Who makes the Hootin Stick?

Any owl call sounds better than my natural voice LOL A couple of years ago I got almost immediate response from real owls. Then a gobbler responded to them. They hooted and gobbled at each other until after fly down. I use the Primos call. My son can run a reed type pretty good.

I use my voice. You don't have to be all that accurate on tone, so long as you do right on the cadence. I can do it well enough to get barred owls pissed off at each other-- that's when the real fun begins. Once you get the owls in on it, then they honk off their neighbors and so on. One time I did that up in Northern Ontario, and I swear I must have had every bird above the 45th parallel sounding off.

Generally, I only owl early in the year, when I'm trying to get turkeys to gobble during my scouting. By the time season starts, I have the birds pretty well patterned, and let the ambient sources do the work. If you're patient, the crows, owls, woodpeckers, etc. get the gobblers going plenty.

never had much luck with owl calls i guess that's cause the only owls in my area are screech owls . so i use a crow call to get a responce...wayne
