Owl Hooter
 
I am looking for the loudest most realistic Owl Hooter out there, but I don't want one that sounds like a wild Piliated Peacock Crow Coyote!
Has anyone used a Camp Call or a Hoot Tube?

Ok this is the truth about owl hooters. While u can make good owl noises on an owl call, in my opinion, you are way better off using your natural voice. I used many different hooters and one day I actually was just like...."Why don't I just use my voice?" In no time I was hooting way better and louder with my voice than I was on any hooter I ever used. You can get real loud, or soft in case you think there is a turkey roosted close. It takes just a few minutes to get the sound right and you can go to the woods. The first time I ever hooted with my voice I had watched a tom on property I couldn't hunt go to roost close by. I knew i could never hunt him so i was like what the heck let me see if i can make him gobble with just my voice. 50 gobbles later... i decided that I sounded sufficient with my voice. I have called owls themselves within 20 yards of me. This is not a special talent, people hoot with their voices everywhere. IT is the way to go. Give it a try.

If your deadset on having a call, then go to Close Calls website and give Ronnie's hooter a try. Its the best one i have ever used. i believe the web address is www.close-calls.com or something like that. TRY YOUR VOICE!

Although it's not the loudest my Palmers hoot tube is the most realistic sounding to me.I have the wood one.It sounds better than the plastic one to me.Early in the morning you might be suprised at how far you can get one to gobble at the seemingly "quiet" palmers hoot tube..Hope I helped.

Blow an owl hooter out here and your answer will be silence no "who cooks for you who cooks for you all' around these parts!But a honker flute or coyote howler is a wholedifferent story!!;)

I like the wooden Palmer Hoot Tube I just got a few weeks ago and surprisingly, the little plastic flex tube model from BassPro for $8 works as well, maybe better.

I cup my hands around the end for the best sound on my palmers.

I have used the Owl Hooter for many years and if they don't answer, I'll use the Chicken Hawk Call.
282 - Barred Owl
Primos Hawk / Quail Whistle # 311
The Hawk / Quail Whistle reproduces the shrill, high-pitched call of hawks and the whistle of bobwhite quail. Proven very useful in locating gobblers.

Why do you want one so loud? Owls aren't all that loud? I like using them any time of day. I have gotten them to gobble at an owl when they wouldn't at a crow or turkey call.

You'll be surprised how the Hawk call works.

Srtutnbps-

I think he would want a loud one for several reasons. The first being that its not always a perfectly still morning without winds, or creeks, or highways nearby making noise and making it hard to hear. You also want to make a turkey at 400 yards gobble just as much as you want to hear one at 100. If I want to hoot loud... i just face away from where i think the gobbler is...scouting helps with that. also you can be quieter on a loud call than you can be loud on a quiet call.

Owl hooters are just another way to get your doe. They arn't worth a crap and you can make a lot better hoooooooting with your natural voice. Hooters are for beginners [:@]
