Just curious, which owl hooter and crow call is everybody using that you believe gets the most consistent shock gobbles from turkeys? I'm partial to the Harrison hooter, or I simply use my natural voice to good effect. I'm still searching for a crow call I really like. Any suggestions?

Gibson on the crow call... I let mother nature wake the turkey's up.. i don't like all that Owl hooting from the ground giving my location away ... Sometimes i might use crow call , but very seldom..
Gibson here as well on the crow call, also have the Harrison hooter. I don't use either early in the morning often.
Gibson crow, Harrison hooter

I don't know about owl or crow hooters but most people around my hunting areas slam doors and talk real loud to each other right about Gobbling time? They also throw a lot of garbage out in the woods....not sure if that helps the Gobbling but it is pretty standard practice for people that breath out of their mouth.
Goose call

You need to try a peacock call.

Woodypecker huh :thanks: :lol:
I own a Harrison owl hooter. It sounds real nice.
I also use a coyote howler from flextone, I had great success roosting with the coyote howler.
Real hard on an aluminum call like a coyote is sometimes good.
I use my natural voice to owl call. Actually learned to sound reasonable while training my uvula to flutter to purr on a mouth call. I don't hoot every morning, but if it's slow I will, or I'll do it to try to start up the real owls. Opening day last year had 5 barred owls land in the tree I was on and start going crazy, which was a pretty neat experience.
I carry a cheap crow call, but probably only took it out of my vest 2-3 times last year. I've only used it when I have a gobbler reasonably located, but need him to gobble one more time to decide whether to set up at spot "A" or "B", and he hasn't heard a hen call yet, and I don't want him to until I'm set up.
Competition style goose call and an owl call.
Majority of my hunting is near swamps. Goose and sometimes highball duck calls have worked for me.
Everyone should have one of those
Pilelated woodpecker calls in their vest. If only for one reason.
My buddy and I was trying to get a gobble from a bird we moved in on.
We were standing still, he was in front of me facing away listening.
I pulled that call out and lit it up, brought him right out of his boots.
We still laugh about it years later
Short reed goose call has worked well for me . Also a good sounding crow call is hard to beat .
I have also used a short reed goose call with good success. On a cool crisp morning standing on a high ridge, you can hear that goose call echo for what seems like miles.
