Turkey Hunting Tube Call

landtracdeerhunter · January 31, 2020

I seen some of these in plastic form years ago; wondered then if they are effective call then. Well, I ran across some of these tubes recently by someone who makes them. First thing come to mind, sure are one of the best eye catching calls I ever have seen. Be a cool collection. We all know though, that a call is only as good as the operator behind it. Then sometimes the turkeys have other ideas. These calls measure 3 inches long and an inch and an eight in diameter. Has anyone used- had luck with this style call? Can they be effectice? How would you rate them against a box call?

As you say..the effectiveness depends on the operator.....

With practice they will make realistic turkey sounds, and some of my buddies have used them with good effect over the years..

IMHO they are harder to master than a box call, but easier than a wingbone...When I first started turkey hunting ( back when Moby Dick was a minnow) some guys used a 35 MM film container with a piece of latex ( usually from a condom)...
