Just got the Haint and instructional dvd in the mail. After watching the dvd I attempted to blow it. I followed their instructions to the letter, and after about fifteen minutes I was ripping out gobbles almost identical to theirs. Guys, this call is very easy to blow if you follow their instructions. The dvd was very helpful, its more detailed than the youtube videos. I'm glad I didn't let all the negative reviews scare me away from this call, its truly awesome in person. I'm sure it will be the death of some longbeards this spring. Just thought I'd throw this out there for all those on the fence.
Looking forward to trying one next week in Nashville. Thanks for your input!
I have made my mind up....I'm getting one also. Besides if I didn't like a challenge I wouldn't be turkey hunting anyway...............lol
That's good congrats I think the call is for some folks and some may not catch on so quick would love to hear it fix us up a clip it is neat I like how raspy I can make it sound!!!
Houndstooth I would definitely post a sound bite if I could, but i have no idea where to begin to do that :TooFunny:. But the more i play with this call the more I like it. I haven't been this excited about a new call in several years. What I like about these guys is their dvd is more than a sales pitch. They back up their claims with proven facts and insights into the behavior of a wild gobbler, and provide unedited hunt clips of this call in real hunting situations. I don't believe a longbeard is going to run you over every time you blow this call, but I do believe in the right situation it could be deadly. Their footage of using this call on a henned up gobbler was incredible. If anyone is plannimg on trying this call, I highly recommend spending the extra ten bucks on their dvd. It helps to shorten the learning curve as well as showing you situations where the call will and won't work. Good luck to anyone else trying this call, I think you will like it.
I just got mine but it didn't come with an instructional video. ??? >:(

That's $10 extra
Hmmm. Sounds like it might be worth that. Anyone that gets the call down and learns how to gobble good, I'll buy your video off of you for $5. :lol:
Hey struttn I agree with ya I have played with it of and on and have gotten where I can slow down the roll of it. In other words my gobbles to me now sound even better as I have played with it more since I posted my clip. Congrats on your success!!
Thanks houndstooth, I really have high hopes for this call, and I'm not really the type that gets excited over new calls. I've found the hardest part is figuring out the right amount of air to use when blowing it. Also, I'm working on slowing down the roll of the gobble towaeds the end. I think I'll completely have it down by opening day.
Ok new update on the haint. I'm beginning to learn that different tongue positions and hand movement can add alot of realism to the call. Kinda adds that natural "rattle" into the gobble that before i was unable to reach. This call has a lot of potential.
Do you have a link to this call? You sparked an interest in me ;D
I found it yahooooo
Ok...newest update on my experience with the haint. Decided to practice a little this morning in the yard. Gobbled twice on it, and out of nowhere BAM. Gobblers firing off at me about 300-400 yards away. Waited a little and hit the call again. Two gobbles cut mine off. Put the call down and listened for a couple minutes. Next gobble I heard those birds had closed the distance by more than half. It was at that point I decided to quit screwing with them and went inside to keep from spooking them. If I was a poaching man theres not a doubt in my mind I could have gotten set up and had those two gobblers in the deep fryer by dinnertime. Starting to like this call a little more I think..
Strutting that's cool so no doubt they like what they heard!!!!!
AHHH going to order 1 right now
:gobble: :gobble: :gobble:
Yikes! ...Just got an add from Wing Supply sayin' they were selling the Haint gobble call for $50!!! The d*** thing better be made out of solid gold to be worth that much! Looks like a $10 goose call to me! Guess I just have a really poor sense of value....
Fellas what did y'all pay for the gobble call. I thought they were 45 to 50 right I went into a store and had a fella with me and they were priced 9.99 must be a miss price he bought one
do they have more??? Ill send you $20 to pick one up and mail it to me
they are $5o every where ive seen, for that reason I was planning on trying the Knight and Hale Hale fire because its $20 what I find a more reasonable price

Do you plan on going back to that store? That is a deal if it is the Haint.
I have one on the way. I can not wait to try it out.

Had it for about 2 weeks and over all I'm about 70% satisfied. Don't sound as good as the you tube videos but I have come a LONG way.
Just picked up a Haint, and my review it's a call many will master and many will not.
To me it's no different than taking a goose/duck call and trying to gobble with it. As with me I can get somewhat of a decent gobble with it, nothing like the video though, and not as good as my tube call.
As for guidelines for those wondering if they will master it, I would say a fair comparison would be anyone that can purr really good on a mouthcall, should have little difficulty mastering it? You need good tongue flutter, which many can not do. Just like some can wiggle their ears and others can't, you either got it or you don't, although they make it sound like anyone can do it?
My thinking was, I'm an above average mouthcaller, and above average gobbling with a tube call, and would have no trouble? Wrong, I'm about 60%, but not sure I'll ever get the true gobble they get? And to me if you really got to work for it, your more than likely to throw some sour gobbles in a real hunting situation, as with most calls people are good with comes natural.

saw one today, and that thing was ugly. had tool marks on it, and what appeared to be a friction type finish. i'll stick with a custom tube call that can do more than just gobble.
