Title: Gobbler Call
Post by: StruttinGobbler3 on March 16, 2011, 11:33:24 AM
Anyone on here used the Primos Gobbler Shaker tube? It has some real good reviews and Cabelas has them on sale for ten bucks. If they're as good as claimed then I'd be happy to give ten dollars for one. I hunt all private land, so danger from other hunters is not really an issue. Anyone use it or had any success with it?

How big is the call?  I have been trying to learn to gobble on a diaphram, but it doesnt sound so good.  I was just curious as to its size , because I would get one too.

I've used a shaker with some success.  Mine sounds more like a Jake trying to gobble than an older bird. 

Much easier to gobble on a tube call than a diaphram for me. Cup your hands over the end and blow it like feed chuckling for a mallard.

I use them all the time,spring and fall.The only thing I have found with my new Primos one is that it doesn't work cold.I put it under my coat and warm it up.Another fine MADE IN CHINA product.

sounds more like a jake than a tom... only tried once in the field at a hen to see here reaction before i use it on a gobbler.... I figured she'd pay no attention or run away not having much confidence


she walked the 300yds straight at us yapping and carrying on the whole time. proved to me 2 things

sounds real to the turkeys
and thats why its so hard to call gobbers in, the hens really do come to them in nature.

BINGO!!!  And that's why you shoot the hens first.   :D
