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 and have never shot a bird with it yet but i have had them gobble at it though.

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

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]

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

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

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

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.

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

i shake it, havent figured the pumping out yet.....[&:][8D]

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

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.

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

The only time I tried it while hunting I was on private land that nobody else was supposed to be hunting, and the only answer I got was somebody by the road who sounded like he was cutting up a storm on a box call trying to get me to come in. That was the last time I tried it.

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

well good to know they work

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

When you pump those things, it sounds more like a canadian goose than a turkey.

Maybe I am not doing it right.

RE: Primos Gobbler shaker
 

You must be doing something wrong. Are you pumping it fast? It's much easier to control than by shaking it. There are a few shakers that sound good, but the Primos sounds better pumped. You must pump it rapidly. Keep doing it and you will get the right tone and cadence eventually.

I have used it a few times including this last weekend when I got my tom. I had set up a jake and a hen in the mating positionalong with another hen. Therwas gobbling and yelping every where so I yelped softly and used the Primos Gobbler Shaker 2 times only. I started with a wing just beforeI thought the birds would fly down than another jus after they flew down. I think the Shaker just helps make them feel safer and they gobbled at it. I always keep it with me hunting.
