My nephew tried in SC last spring. it was very successful in turning a gobbler who was coming in on a string into one that was hauling butt in the other direction.

It always amazing me the crazy products some of these companies come out with just to try and sell a bunch for a couple years and then discontinue. Remember the HS squealing hen call?

I think it's sickening selling gimicks to a lot of people that might not know better to make a buck.

MADD should have the motto "A sucker born every minute" for lots of the stuff they sell. I mean the plastic treecoy? Really? LOL!

Friend from work told me about 6-7 toms gobbling regularly at the coyote howler he had. This was back in the 90s and coyote howlers were suddenly the new turkey locator call. Opening day came round and we slipped into the area. That big man huffed and puffed turning redder and redder sending out loud and then louder howls to silence as we walked down the log road in twilight. At the end of the road and edge of the river bottom I quietly said "How about I hoot?" and sent out a who cooks for you with my voice to be cut off by several toms gobbling, almost on top of us. The look on his face as he squeezed that call in his hand was priceless. Same fellow bought one of those dog whistles they sold too. Those calls may indeed work somewhere along the line but that stuff ain't what it's advertised to be IMO.

Lots more money fooling hunters than turkeys or deer.
