Just wanted to get everyone's opinion on the best gobbler call on the market?
-
i haven't blown it myself or heard it in person, but videos of the Haint sound pretty good.
if you have a double-sided boxcall, you can also put a rubberband around it close to the handle and shake it. with a little practice, it sounds good.
-
I have the Haint since a year, no doubt in my mind it produce the most realistic gobble that money can buy.
-
My friend bought a Flextone Thunder Gobble. I was skeptical, but no joke it sounds extremely good in the woods. It kind of has that rattle and deep tone of a real gobble. The problem I see with it is to the caller it is hard to recognize the sound quality as you call, at least for us it was. He wasn't impressed, but was shocked when I played the recording back to him from 75 yards away in the woods.

Purchased the Hale Fire over the winter and have been practicing with it. It took a while to get anything that sounded close to a gobble. I'm at the point where it doesn't sound too bad. I am hoping it sounds better in the woods and from a distance.
Since I purchased the darn thing, I also did some internet research and learned two ways to gobble with a diaphragm call. I'll be darned if the diaphragm doesn't sound just as good if not better than the Hale Fire! With the diaphragm, you can push the call back farther on the roof of your mouth, and then say "chicka-chocka-chocka-chocka". Cupping your hands in various positions helps to hollow out the sound. Takes a while. The second method is the "buck tooth" (sorry) method, which is to place the call between your upper lip and teeth/gum with the later reeds resting on the bottom lip. You then say "tooka-tooka-tooka-tooka", which is the same sound you use for the Hale Fire.
I have enjoyed working on these gobble calls and I'm very interested in how they will sound in the turkey woods soon.

I bought the Haint about 2 weeks ago and I really like it. Had the gobble down the evening I bought it. A good place to buy it is from Colgard Sports online. Got mine for 26.75 plus 5 or 6 to ship. Killed one with my bow saturday using it.

I have the haint but was recently introduced to the Tim Grounds gobble call while guiding in west Tennessee for Kids Hunting for a Cure.
My brother got the call from Tim and it is by far the most authentic sounding, gobble call I've heard. It that also has the ability to cluck, purr, and crow call.
Give it some serious consideration.

Tube call can sound good but I haven't got enough practice to be real good at it. Also haven't had the desire to use a gobble call in the woods yet b

VA, mind sharing how I could go about getting one of these? I have owned several grounds goose calls, never knew they made a gobble call. Tim and Hunter are both good dudes, and I have been thinking about a new gobble call anyways.
Thanks.

I will take the Flextone Thunder Gobble at $12 over the Haint or the Hale Fire.
The Flextone gets the true cadence down without sounding "buzzy" like the other two do.
I'm going to use it and try to kill a bird with it exclusively this year. It really sounds that good.
-
Never heard of the Tim Grounds gobble call either. Looked on his website and couldn't find anything on it. Love the Haint but I would like to see/hear the Tim Grounds call also. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
-
Guys, I just talked with Tim. His technological aptitude is very limited and the call isn't displayed online. Call him at the shop at 618 983 5649.
Btw, I have no formal association to the company nor personal gain from calls purchased.
-
Do u know how much they are?

I know what the price was at Hunt For a Cure but I'm not sure if that was discounted for guides or not..
I don't want to misspeak on tim's behalf, but they were very, very reasonable.
-
The old snuff cans produce the best gobbles,been using them 40 years plus and they work !
-
It has taken some practice, but I am starting to get some good gobbles out of my new Haint. This call has potential.
-
I received my Haint gobbler call on Friday, but am having some trouble getting a good consistent sound out of it. I know it's going to take some practice, but any tips would be appreciated!
-
I like the Hale Fire call alright. I duck hunt quite a bit and it's a lot like blowing a feeding call when you're working ducks.
-
Seb
Instead of trying to do a feeder call (ticka-ticka) on the haint you just want constantly flutter your tounge. Kind of like the machine gun noise you did when you were little. Start with your hands open then close them to get a good gobble sound.

Close them instantly after the initial burst of air

I bought my 13 year old son a hale fire first and it is awesome(when he blows it, not me) and after hearing all the rant about the haint I just bought him one of those too. The hale fire is much louder and has a better echo to it than the haint. Both calls he was an expert on as soon as he took them out of the package, I cant explain it. I am struggling with the hale fire after a year of practice, and I will not blow the haint in front of anybody. He has called 2 in at the end of the season last year with hale fire, and has called 2 to their death already this spring.

My hunting partner can make the Flextone Thunder Gobble sound great. I'm having all kinds of trouble getting it to sound decent and I'm a better duck caller than him.
I'd buy the Haint, but I'm cheap and won't spend the $$ to make it sound as bad as the Flextone! :funnyturkey:
-
I can't run any type a mouth call to shake a stick at. My good friend and hunting partner sounds great on the Haint.
-
I personally just use a diaphragm call to gobble, but I rarely ever use it in the woods unless its a last resort. Here is a clip.

I just got off the phone with Tim and placed an order for one of his gobble calls. If I can eventually make half the sounds he was making with that call, it'll be a great investment. :gobble:
