I'm not a fan of all the "canister" type "easy" hooters. This is because they don't have that distinct "gravel" sound to them. Therefore, they really don't produce a true barred owl sound.They produce more of a horned owl sound which the hunter uses a barred owl rhythm with... unrealistic IMO especially for "owl laughing". (I'm not saying they won't work though.)

Of all I have use the wooden Palmer hoot tube from H.S. is my favorite. But, there are a few other reed-style hooters that work well also. (Quaker Boy & Penn's Woods to name 2)

I'm going to buy a Palmers Hoot Tube, does the black plastic or wooden one sound the best?

i had a h.s. strut canister type that i thought i lost. i bought a preston pittman reed type and it sounds alot better. when i went to put it in my vest i found my other one.man they put to many pockets on these vest!!!!!!

..I use my voice,threw practice it is easy,but i have the quakerboy owl hoot.....

..JESUS IS COMING BACK BE READY...

i like the voice box it is a recording of a live owl hooting you just push the button and it hoots for you ,guess i am kinda lazy when it comes to practicing owl hooting ,gives me more time for the turkey talking about the size of a pack of cigs.

Made my own, out of a pvc pipe 1 1/2" dia. 4 1/2 " long . Blow tube part out of an old throw away razer handle, basswood on the ends, hole about 1 1/2" down from one end. bevel blow tube to set about 45 degrees angle from pipe. move tube around for best sound. hole is about 3/8" longate hole to tune call. for added tones drill 1 or 2 holes under where fingers rest . lift finger/s to get diff. tones.
cost almost nothing.
