Looking at a new Owl call

[MK M GOBL]

I'm starting to look for a new locator, my old owl call which I have relied on it's performance for over the last 20 years gave out and is no longer made... I did find one on E-bay and it's on it's way. Beyond that I am looking for a new call, first and foremost I will say I put more into performance than looks, don't get me wrong I buy calls to collect but what I hunt with day to day has to perform or it goes into the giveaway bin. So I am looking at a "Reed" Barred Owl Call and after a little research am interested in a (Harrison Hoot'n Stick) and if anyone has in the field results with it? I am open to other suggestions but like I say I am only concerned with performance of the call.

Hootin stick works.

I also make owl hooters. Here is a spalted birch I made. James and Lyle make a great hooter. You can't go wrong with either of those.

Another vote for the hootin stick however I find these "locator" calls to be less and less effective for me personally.  I always keep a crow call no matter what though.  My vote would be a Harrison though.

Hootin stick is the best I've run. I may try a houndstooth, I love a good owl hooter.

My 4 go to locators that work the best for me are my Owl, Crow, Peacock and Goose call. I use them everyday I'm out and tore me up to have my owl call break. The lip that extends from the top of the tone board split from where the wedge is inserted... I'm going to contact the manufacture or see if I can make a piece from another old call work. But still thinking to go with the Hoot'n Stick

If you get one get the walnut.  I have several custom exotic ones from James but I still like the Walnut best.

All of those are a good choice. Try one of Joe Slaton's owl hooters and I'm sure you won't be disappointed

You will love the Houndstooth!

Got the call I found on e-bay and was NIB condition and sounds as good as my original! I still might look at another JIC but will see what we will have a the store this spring as well. Thanks for all the input!
