I' ve got responses with the call also but with that said I can far surpass the quality of sound from other designs so consequently I make my decisions to that end!I like the directional option the call can create but you said it yourself it is a very touchy call and has to be adjusted frequently especially when changing tone!Obviously you have alot of confidence in the call from the positive results you' ve had afield and thats a good thing alot of hunters dont have!We all have our favorites derived from the same situations afield and obviously the pumper is for you and unless one try' s it such as yourself who' s to say it wont be an asset in the turkey woods!As for me the pumper stays home!!
