While I almost exclusively use a H.S. Hammerin' Crow, I will use a diapraghm call occasionally when the birds have already hit the ground and I'm looking for a response. Anything will work though, a truck door slamming, yelling yourself. Heck even a bottle rocket or fire cracker would work, but i dont advise it.

The first time I used an owl call two big owls landed in the tree above me... Owl calls have not produced very well for me....that is for gobblers. The crow call has performed better and the hawk call on occasion..

One year the truck door seemed to work well and there was another time a rusty gate would get a gobble..

I think when they are in the mood almost any loud noise will cause them to respond instantly.

If one call don't work try another and another till you get results.

A REAL peacock works the best(I have peacocks on ym farm, as well as turkeys), also, me yelling GOBBLE-GOBBLE-GOBBLE, and I also like to use a Squirrel Barker, works great.

Interesting to see what works in different areas. I like the owl early and late. I like a box call after that. The turkeys here don't seem to respond well to crow calls. They rarely gobble at the wild ones and haven't had any luck with a call. In NE and KS I did have luck with the crow call.

I use a Primos barred owl reed type call. It is loud and rarely does it not work.

i prefer an owl hooter, its usually pretty consistent and fires up the gobblers around here. a close second would be a coyote howler. it seems to just set them off for some reason
