push pin calls

[Spitten and drummen]

just want to know if any of you use a push pin call hunting. if so do you have success with them. im asking because I have been turkey hunting 30 years and never considered them until now. I just want to add a new sound to my arsenal that is different. what are your thoughts? i already use all the other type calls other than these.

i apologize if i put this thread in the wrong section.

Many years ago I shot a bird over a push pin, its the only call I had he would respond to that day.

But that was the only success I had with it, one of the plastic ones.

I have recently acquired a OG push pin and this has a nice sound and will be taking it along:)

Mike Lapp makes a good one but you will wait to get it!

[Spitten and drummen]

yeah I am, but just wanted to know if you have any success and how realistic the sounds from them are. I watched and listened to old gobblers and thought his sounded really good.

I have a push pin call made by Shannon OG. It is very well made and has helped me call several birds into gun range.

I've never owned a push pin that I really liked. If I were to try one again it would be one of Shannon's. His sound files of those calls are good.

Mike Lapp or Shannon's both talk the talk......

I got 2 of OGs calls. They make very realistic hen talk and will bring birds to the gun.

My father-in-law shot a gobbler a couple of years ago using a Knight and Hale "Lonesome Hen". He also called in a few others but didn't close the deal. I bought one after his success with no luck. Honestly, the call that I bought didn't have the sound quality that I was looking for. As I started making calls myself I realized that custom callmakers were making them. The call that I decided to go with was a Jonathan Payne. Very good sounding call and extremely well made.

I have a couple push button calls one is called a Tom Coffin and boy does it work. killed 3 gobblers with that call. I was like most guys thinking that a push button was for folks who couldn't work other calls so they'd buy the easiest call they could work. I use mine using thumb pressure on top of the slide. Makes outstanding cuts and fly down calls. I don't use the TC to yelp. The other push button I have spent most of it's life setting at home until my grandson used it this year. Close up it sounds terrible but 30 yards away it sound just like a hen. He had a gobbler going nuts with it. Don't knock one until you try one.
