It works in the right situation.It works onaggressive territorial birds that are hung up.It can scare a turkey off as well as bring one in though. Be very careful using it. They call in more hunters than turkeys.
I use one every now and then. Sometimes they help and sometimes they don't. I worked a bird last year for an hour. I started mixing in some gobbles with yelps and got him to within 40 yards. It was really thick where he was though, so I couldn't get a clean shot. They probably don't work more than they do work though, but it's still worth a try. I always carry one with me, just in case.
I have used it before as sort of a locator call. I will start out yelping with a mouth call and then "interupt" the yelping with the Primos gobbler. Has worked pretty well to get the other bird to gobble. More often than not, I don't use it.

I agree, a gobbler call is liable to bring in more hunters than birds, and this can get you seriously hurt. not to mention the hunters tramping through the woods toward you could scare away turkeys in your area.

The gobbles are getting louder.....in my mind, anyway.
It really doesn't sound like a mature gobbler, more like a young jake, like 1.5 months old, seriously.
I agree. I bought one, and it doesn't sound very convincing. It works as a locator, but I don't use it very much.
