for daylight, early morning, and late afternoon when roosting birds i prefer an owl hooter. another good roosting locator is a coyote howler.

I most often use the owl hooter, but also use and carry a crow call, goose call, and a coyote howler. And the local rooster helps early in the AM as well.

Same here. If I'm trying to roost a bird lots of times I'll use the owl hoot. There are a lot of crows around my part of the world, and often they'll take care of it for me. No sense in making noise if you don't have to.

Owl Hoot with my natural voice.Sometimes they dont gobble when you want them to when you get closer to set up.No gear to carry either.
