Anybody hoot with their own voice?

[dodger]

I do... And I hoot up many owls to... When is owl season anyway

I used to hoot with my voice but then I got the harrison.

I use my voice ,  I am much louder than a call.    I might not be able to tell which direction he is, but I can make one gobble.

[Muskie03]

Yup, it's more fun that way.

I have a Palmer's hoot tube but it's not very loud.  I can do OK with my voice, it's just as loud and that's one less call to carry.  Natural voice seems to work just as well if not better even though it's a bit less "owl sounding".

[Cove]

Yep, have for many years. Works for me.

It depends on the state you live in. They really aren't that good to eat, though. They are gamey like a Blue Heron, but not as bad as Bald Eagle. The legs have a lot of small bones..Just breast them out..Hope this helps..Mike

Seriously, I do hoot with my own voice, but as others, I do carry a Palmer..Mike

use my natural voice 99% of the time, have a harrison & a K&H but cant get the roll at the end to work like i can with my mouth, also use natural for volume

Only thing I hoot at with my own voice is the ladies, but I can owl hoot with other peoples voices

[TrackeySauresRex]

Yes, I use my voice. It works, when they want to here it.

I have always used my own voice, and when the birds are in the mood, it really works.

BTW, if you want to hear owl hooting that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, go to the NWTF national Owl hooting competition in Nashville. Most of those guys use their natural voice.

I grew up using my mouth for hootin.. It sounds better than any owl call I have tried. If owls are in the area I can usually get them cranked up and just sit back and listen.

[Skeeterbait]

That's the key right there.  Owl or Crow only enough to get the birds in the area kicked off.  Giving them a chance to start up on their own is usually best.

 Thought that was the only way. Couldn't find hoot tubes when i started.
