I got an email from the NWTF advertising this call from Down N Dirty Outdoors. Its being pitched by Eddie Salter. I've always wanted to add a realistic gobble call to my arsenal, but haven't been able to master any of the ones out there. This one is kind of a steep price at $60, but if it worked it would be worth it.
Any of y'all heard of it? Or used it? How does it sound?

I havent seen one yet,but all i've heard or read has been negative.
Heard about this call a few weeks ago. After listening to their how to video i was shocked. Thats as close as you can get to a gobble short of the real thing. I think most of the negative comments are coming from people who can't figure out how to use it correctly. I plan on adding one to my vest soon.
I bit the bullet and ordered one. If used correctly I think they sound pretty good.

60 bucks? wow!
I tried one and couldn't get much out of it but I didn't watch the how to! I was at a friends store he had it! I think it sounds pretty good on the you tube clip! Like to here about it from our members here on og how it works out for them!! I am sure there's got to be some folks on here that's got them!
I've got one and am very close to getting it right after some toying around with it. The hard part is finding the time to practice cause if anyone else is in the house, they are not happy. There is no way to practice soft.
Safe and Happy Hunting!

I just got one and can't get much out of it but I can't blow a diaphram call either so it is probably just me. If somebody wants it I'll let it go for 35.00 tyd pm me.

Sent pm around 1:30..
The call is sold thanks Jeff W.
Thanks for the post.. I will be adding another call to the vest. It sounds good to me.
Hey, this was my thread, you should have sold it to me!!! :lol: :toothy9:
See, some of the comments are why I'm hesitant. I can handle the standard turkey calls, and even a diaphragm. But tube calls, trumpets and gobble calls seem to elude me no matter how hard I try.
You guys that are getting one, please let me know how easy they are (or aren't) to use. :anim_25:
Just watched the advertisement video. Looks like a lot of rapid blowing and tongue action is required to make it work correctly. That's the problem I had with trying to gobble on a tube call or diaphragm, which also had guys ripping out gobbles on their videos.
..Ever since I saw the video I've been itchin' to try one myself... Will certainly add to this thread when I receive the call and let ya'll know what I think of it. 8)
Please do. I am very interested in how easy it is to master. Here's the how to video.

Yeah, I really want one of these!!! Whether I need one or not is a different story. The technique used on this call seems a lot easier than trying to gobble on a tube. I have to actually move my tongue on a tube to make a good gobble, sometimes that just doesn't work. But on the Haint, it looks like you just do a deep flutter with the air, which is easier in my opinion.
I still believe a tube call gobble sounds better when executed properly. Something I can rarely accomplish.
I think I'm going to bit the bullet and buy one in a couple weeks. Unless I can talk my buddy into selling me his that i borrowed. It is a lot of tongue action. I didn't think I could do it because I have tried and tried to purr on a mouth call using my tongue but I can't do it to save my life!
I'm gonna go for it too. After watching the "how to" video, I think I can do this one. I searched the WWW for the call, and the cheapest place I found was called the "Archery Center". $42.99.
Here's the link.

..Got mine today... First few blows sounded like the worst duck call ever made.. :angry9:
...But I'm not giving up on it... Will try some more when I have an empty house tomorrow. :bike2:
Ordered one last night. Will let you know what I think when it comes. After watching the video I think I can do this one.
I have had mine for about 2 weeks. It is a little harder to run that one might think and I am no where near those guys on youtube.com. BUT, it certainly has potential.
We open in March & I think by then, I will have it where I want it...not in the junk pile!
It sounded a lot like a jake at first but gradually, it has gotten more and more realistic. Will it help kill a turkey? Not sure about that but the call is worth having.
I don't have any special tips except if you are used to blowing a duck call, it requires a substantial transition to use the Haint. Fluttering the tongue, loosely held against one's upper front teeth and lots of cupping with the hands is the key.
Oh I know how I am going to use mine set my 13yr old down we usually sit bout ten yards apart wait till he eases back and takes that nap!! Gobbbbbbbbble!! :funnyturkey:

Dang! I love this message board, no telling if I would have heard of either of these calls. That is a heck of an instructional video for the Haint call. I was pretty much sold on it after watching the video, not sure about the flextone needed to see it run longer to really know. Any more experience comparing the two?

That thing sounds good to me! Flextone has some inexpensive stuff that works. I have a couple $9 duck calls by flextone that sound great in the field.
I have heard from some people that if you can blow a duck call good, you should be able to get the hang of the Haint call but no personal experience from me...
The flextone sounds good but I'm not sure how much volume it has, doesn't sound any louder than a gobble shaker, which isn't very loud. The Haint has a lot of force behind it and really reaches out there. I blew it yesterday on a still morning and heard it echo four or five times, kinda shows me how much true volume it can produce.
Hey struttn I have a logger that works for me and I took my haint with me he's a big hunter. Any way we were walking a piece of hilly property I told him hang right here for a second walked about 75 to 100yds and hit it bout 3 times it's sounds tough in the woods he asked how I gobbled like that I told him natural voice!!! :TooFunny: :TooFunny:
:TooFunny: Houndstooth I'm gonna have to try that one. My buddy hunts some land bordering my farm and I know hes planning on going out in the morning to listen for some gobbles...I might throw a few at him with the haint then ask him later how many birds he heard.. :funnyturkey:
