Do I need a locator call? When should I use it? any info on it would be helpful.

most deffintly,they will help you "LOCATE" a bird without calling and giving him your location.they will sometimes gobble to an owl or crow befor they will a hen call.the owl call works just before light and at sun rise,then go to a crow.
if you haven't heard a bird gobble and you know there are birds around,just let out with a crow call and listen , move a couple hundred yards and blow again.
the owl works real well just before dark at fly up time.they will answer sometimes after full dark. I have had them gobble to an owl at 10:30 pm.

hope this helps.

yeah i was wondering the same thing. what type of calling sequence do you use with the crow call? just wondering.

just try to blow as loud as you can,try to sound like a crow.listen to them the next time you out.
all you want is to try and shock them into gobbling.

I just hit it , kaw,kaw,kaw,then listen

You can shock gobble them at night with a coyote howler very easily, if you'd like to find thier roost tree!!

i use my crow call at evening to see where the turkeys are roosting and then when i get out there in the morning and they arnt where they were roosting then i use the crow all to find them good luck

Owl during early morning/late evening before fly down/up, crow call during the day, and I even have a peacock call that I use when I can't get the birds to respond to the other two. The peacock call will really fire the birds up if the are on the roost.

Good luck!

I use an owl first thing in the morning and when the crows start yelling, I switch to my crow call. There are various calling sequences to use with either one, for the owl I use this sequence "hoo, hoo, hoo, ha-hoo" & also "who cooks for you and who cooks for all". With the crow, I use just an ordinary three to four crows and then if no response, get aggressive with it. I have also used coyote and as strange as it is, I have used a goose call before, reason being, I was hunting an area that was full of geese, and gobblers were always firing back at the honking noise geese make, so I picked up a goose call and went locating. Good luck!

Thanks for all the input, I will go get a owl and crow call tommorow night.
