To get that gobbler alert and talking, check out the Classic Owl Call, from Primos. With an incredibly loud tone, this call will carry even on days with poor, windy conditions. Its low pitch, meanwhile, makes it capable of the low sorts of groans so effective when just a little sound is needed to locate your turkey. To achieve this, the call boasts a fully wooden construction with a single reed, and built-in back pressure for a wider degree of control. All this combines to allow the user, with a little practice, to make the perfect, "Who cooks for you, who cooks for ya'll"-cadenced barred-owl call. For more information on this authentic-sounding locator, a must-have in any turkey hunters kit, please visit primos.com. MSRP: $22.99
