The hall fire call is a lot easier to use

I got a lot of use out of my haint once. Calling to the guy on my neighboring property.  There is a drainage between us and a road that parallels it.  I ran him up and down that road for half an hour one morning, listening to him tear a box call (and every other call had) up.  Then sends me a text saying "there is one hammering over on your place!".  That call is good for a laugh, or getting shot, but not much more.

Always have mine in my pocket. I'd leave my crow, owl, and box calls at home long before I would the haint.

Got mine back out last week, and whoever it was above that said use a feeding mallard call technique is right...that really helped. Think I may give the Haint another shot this year.

Get a Primos gobble tube. All you've got to do is shake it. I've taken 20+ birds with it over the years by challenging the peck order of the real gobbler. That, and a Funky Chicken just behind a hen on the ground, is a winning combo.

I tried both the Haint and the Hale Fire...  Like the sound of the Hale Fire better (from my recollection)...  Ended up digging through some really old call of my Grandfather and found an old predator or squirrel call that sounds even better (blown with the same method).

These calls are relatively easy for duck hunters to master...  You have to use a feeding call in combination with the correct back pressure (cupping your hands over the end of the call properly), while blowing from your diaphragm (NOT your mouth).  It seems consistently difficult for non-duck hunters to master.

I would say that a good gobble call has lead to increased success in multiple instances for me...  All too often in quiet woods, I will blow a gobble call, pause, and then a hen yelp...  I think that very often gobbling is contagious among turkeys, and that hearing another bird winds them up a bit.

I have also used a gobble call on henned up birds (in conjunction with a hen yelp)…  That invading bird with a hen, sometimes sparks that gobbler to come in lookin' for a fight to defend his territory.

I do believe there are also times when it has put birds off...

Did I do that?

Fly fishermen are born honest, but they get over it.
