Anybody hoot with their own voice?

I used to use a hoot tube but it's hard to vary the tone like I can with my own voice.  Here's a video of me using my voice to locate some birds one spring morning.  There is some good gobbling later in the vid.  So do any of you like to keep it simple and use your voice?

I have always had trouble with hoot tubes so about 3 years ago I dedicated to practicing enough to do it on my own.

Only drawback now is if it doesn't sound good I can't blame it on the call.  ;D

Yep.
I did a spotted owl call last season and called up 3 enviromental protesters.

I give it a try from time to time.  Some mornings I believe you could holler HEY TURKEY! and get a responce.
Turkeys are as smart as hunters make em and public land offers more classes.
George Washington didn't use his freedom of speech to defeat the British, he shot them.

I owl with voice, but also carry custom hooter. I usually hit em with a single hoowall

Yea, I get by, but sound more like a rooster than an owl at times.

I use my voice to hoot and diaphragm or tube call to scream.

Yep same as others I can owl with my voice well but still carry a Harrison.  I can yelp, crow and even squirrel bark with voice fairly acceptably for a short period of time but they all straign the throat pretty bad.

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands, love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper; his hands remember the rifle.

I've always used my voice, but you need a hoot tube in reserve for those hungover days.  I have made a couple of pretty foul noises after too many drinks the night before.
