How many of you use this call? Saw on on e-bay that just sold for $150.00.
Damn, I better go find the one I threw in the woods cuz it pissed me off. Never could get consistent with it.

It's not worth it.

I got one but I never could play it. It has been sitting in a drawer. May need to sell it.
To me that call ranks right up there with the squealing Hen. I could on occasion get out a decent gobble but never when the hunt would depend on it. The tube call is better for gobbling IMO. Good Luck!!!
I keep the polycarb one in my vest. It is a decent "wrench" to have in the toolbox when needed. Especially with a stubborn dominant gobbler who likes to stay just out of range.
Have a poly one. Never could get consistent enough with it to use it. They sound great on the instructional videos for what that's worth.

They sound good if you can play it. I can't.
I've used one once and it worked. I'm confident I wouldn't have killed that bird without it. I had been calling to him with a slate call trying to get him to leave three hens. He was coming in silent at about 70 yards and I didn't know he was there. I peeked around the root wad I was hiding behind to see if he was coming and he saw me. He turned and was heading the other direction. He wasn't too spooked cause I had out decoys but he wasn't interested in my hen yelps anymore. He had got out to a little over a hundred yards so I figured I'd go for broke and try the haint. I bet I gobbled 20 times. He would come a little bit and then stop to strut. He even gobbled. Every time he'd stop walking I'd gobble. At 40 yards I couldn't take no more. Neither one of us gobbled again. It worked but I wouldn't give 150 for one. I'd rather yelp them up.
I had one and was decent with it. Just messed with it in the house but never felt like I was consistent enough to take to the woods. Stuck it back in the package and lost interest. Ran across it going through some stuff a couple weeks ago and sold it on here for $45

:TooFunny:...... I still have mine I'd more than happy to sell it for $150.00.
I have one and use it a lot, mostly as a locator. It sounds better if you use the "tucka, tucka, tucka" technique (like the feeding call on a duck call) rather than the fluttering or rolling the tongue method.
They had 2 plastic ones on e-BAY that sold for $98 to $100.00
I some how wound up with 3 of them. It took me a lot of practice to get consistent with it.
I may get mine out and play with it some. I just gave up before.
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.
I got one
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.

I watched the video and then looked for one and couldn't find one.
There's some for sale on e-bay.
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.
Never heard of a green hornet.

It's a trumpet call

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...
