Anyone who has it mastered can you provide me with some insight as to why mine sounds more like a growl? Lol i feel i am close to getting it, maybe my flutter is too fast?
Here's something that might help you: http://youtu.be/JTKa0f5GSmI
Sorry, meant haint
They ought to change the name to the Haunt Gobble Call; that sounds cooler to me! :)
not sure if it will help but try to control the flutter and keep it from your diaphragm and just keep PRACTICING..... :gobble:
takes a while to get but not a bad call
He ain't even using a Hain't in the video!
mudhen
You blow 'em the same way; if you want to send me your Haint, I'll be glad to demonstrate it for you! ;)
I don't use the chukka, chukka with my haint like they tell you to do with the hale fire (I have both). I gave the hale fire to my little boy to play with, it sounded like a shaker call to me. The haint never sounded good to to me with the method for the hale fire. The haint produced the most realistic gobble, I flutter my tongue against the back side of my front teeth, like the DND crew says on the DVD they started sending with the call. It just takes a little time to master it.
Eric, good to know. As a point of clarification, I'm not advising "chuka chuka" in my video; I'm suggesting a "chicka chicka", which as I'm going about it, would essentially produce the back-of-the-teeth fluttering I think you're referring to.
In any event, I'm not a big fan of gobbling or gobble calls in general. I only use gobbling as a "last ditch" effort on a bird, if nothing else has worked on him. Also, when I do gobble, I want to sound like a "puny, beatable" young bird; not a boss hog.

For sure takes some practice to get it right

Well, a few days ago, during my trip to SE Alabama, my sister-in-law's son had a wooden Haint gobble call, and I got to play around with it. I do have to admit -- it did *NOT* sound as good to me using the "chicka chicka chicka" method I used with my K&H Hale Fire call. However, it was "pass-able" as a gobble.
Frankly, I think the sound the Haint makes by fluttering your tongue doesn't sound realistic to me; I'm sorry, but it sounds like a lion roaring vs. a gobble. Perhaps my SIL's son wasn't operating the call correctly, but I swear, when he first blew it, I thought he was joking! :)
People talk about a two-note yelp; welp, a gobble is a two-note call, as well -- gob-ble; that's why I think the chic-ka (two notes) sounds better to my ears.
Just my humble (and probably flawed) opinion; don't mean to offend all the Haint users out there. If it's working for you, then rock on! :) The bottom line is if it fools a wiley ole gobbler, then don't change what's working for you. Again, I don't gobble that much anyway, so I'll stick with the K&H gobble call I already have.

This is a good video on how to use the Haint. You really do need to take it one step at a time. Don't even try to make the gobble sound, until you have the flutter down like he has in the video. Sounds like a duck making a machine gun sound, our a fast feeding chuckle. The chamber you create with your hands, and what you do with your hands, is what creates the gobble sound. Some like to pulsate/shake the call when they have their hands closed off creating the chamber. I hold the call in my left hand and close the chamber with my right, and I flutter my four fingers that are closing the chamber, to create the individual rattles of the gobble.
It is actually an easy call to use, but you have to take it one step at a time, or it will just drive you crazy.
Even when you get it down, you are not going to be like "omg, it sounds exactly like a tom gobble", but it will have the cadence and volume of one.
