Primos Gobbler shaker
 
Who uses this? Its never done anything for me. I have worked some gobblers yelping and cutting. And after 20 min of this with them only 60 yards in front of me in heavy cover, I get aggrivated and tried this gobbler shaker last week. Didn't seem to bother them or hurt the situation.

What are they good for? Who uses them?

I've takena few gobbling in a gobblers strut zone.
He would come in to kick some butt
I usually pull it out on quiet days with no roost gobbling.
It tends to get them sounding off on those slow days.

Ihave one its probly my favorite call it gets them going everytime around here. It borught in my first bird i ever killed and my only this will be my second year trying. Also the first year i went out with some freinds they used one and it brought that turkey right in to. The way i do it is i do some velps and cuts and then wait a min then i do the gobble. and usally they come a runnin.

Problem is, is sounds great as a jake gobble, but you have to make so much movement to get that sound. I might give it another try in a week or so, I think in Western MD, they wasn't that hot yet. They gobbled but I think the hens come runnin to em. Maybe in a few weeks, it might get little harder for them to find a gal.

I have one, never had a Tom come running in, however, few years back before I hunted much on my own, I sat down one morning and heard a gobble or two, so I answered back, I would cut him off, etc. And he gobbled with me for like a half hour. So it must have sounded okay to him. However, someone said that I probably did it too much and intimadated him. So now I use it sparingly and as a last resort![8D]

JL, did you just shake it or did you pump it real fast?

Pumping it is better than shaking. It sounds better and your movements are much less. I always carry one when hunting. They don't always work, but yelping doesn't always work either.

First gobbler this year came mid-day to a gobbler shaker.
A hen led him right to me minutes after calling.
I heard him spitting and drumming before I saw him.
