I'm thinking about adding a gobble call to my arsenal. Which of the many do you all recommend?
I use a Turpin style box call. I think it sounds better than the tubes you can buy. JMO
Mouth call
TRKYHTR
Hale Fire
Tube calls make great gobbles
I picked up a walnut Haint gobble call and like it. It has the tone if I can get the hand movement right to baffle the sound.
I used a voice gobble last weekend to pull a bird across a creek that was about 20' wide, 2 feet deep and running swiftly enough to hear from 80-100 yards. The bird had been gobbling at every call we made. I gobbled back at him and he shut up, but he flew across the creek towards us. Unfortunately someone in a red jeep decided to pick the same field of this locked private land for a leisurely Sunday morning drive... right between us and the bird. :character0029:

x2 I've tried the hale fire, tube, boxes, haint, shaker... mouth sounds the best to me, I watched Joes videos and got one of his applifiers. Called a bird in for a youth hunter last year, been working at getting more volume in the off season.
Got a hale fire had for a few weeks had problems figuring it out and almost trashed it but a friend who real good at blowing duck calls figured it out in 5 minutes and it sounded great so after using his technique and some practice I already sound better than my gobble shaker (or so my friends say) just takes practice

Yep. You don't have to say tooka....tooka....tooka as they recommend. Making a machine gun sound with your tongue and learning how to muffle the call with your hands makes a great sounding gobble to me.

That's exactly how he put when explaining it to me (pretend your shooting with your pretend machine gun like we did when we were kids) it was so simple made me feel dumb
The Haint for me! Didnt care for the shaker types
