RE: owl calls
This question has been asked many times. I'll give my input again. Learn to use your mouth. Most experienced turkey hunters will just use their own mouth-voice owl call, including myself. Just practice a lot.

RE: owl calls
Hunted with a guy from Ohio who had a Woodhaven owl call. Very nice. I have a HS Strut and can make a good call with it. I must admit I hear owl's hooting all the time, particularily, at dusk and rarely hear the shock gobble back. My crow calls are used much more as well. It's one more in the arsenal however, so of course if you're a turkey hunter ya gotta have it!

RE: owl calls
excellent point superstrutter. I often forget this one and have practiced the mouth call. It's probably the one locator that can be more readily mastered this way. I've gotten a shock gobble from a mouth crow call but my vocal chords hurt after doing that one.[8D]

RE: owl calls
i've tried to use my voice but find i can't get the volume i desire and it makes my throat hurt. i do have a crow call, but find that the turkeys in my part of the country do not shock gobble to crows AT ALL!!!! therefore, i am going to get another locator call and just want to know which is considered the best.
