Leans towards a warm, smooth, woodsy tone...wasn't hard to get the hang of using after finding a couple of videos online demonstrating how to use it. Was fairly easy to get different barred owl tones out of it...I'm still learning how to mimic all the different kinds of sounds a barred owl makes, so my ear is my only limit for now...using lots of barred owl videos on youtube and audio files on the web to learn from... Works and sounds really good... have tried it out in various river-bottoms and had one "conversation" with a barred owl in the area in mid-Spring, 2011...barred's don't migrate and are pretty territorial, so if you find one, you might have a good chance of "talking" to one with this... it puts out a good bit of sound - tends to hurt my ears a little when I put a *lot* of air through it, but it does a good job - I just use ear-plugs now when I get loud with it

I gave this to my bestie so he could make owl sounds. Welp, it will sure wake up a turkey but it sounds like a pissed off drunk duck. NOT AN OWL. We will research how to use this more but the quack sound comes out so easily, I'm not sure it can be mastered to sound like an owl. It's 100% DUCK. My friend laughed hysterically and now startles people with it and giggles. He is almost 50. I will take the giggles!

As an avid birder, I’m always looking. I’m always listening. Now the birds can listen to me! Great sound. Took very little practice to get good at it. My daughter liked it so much I bought her one, too!

While this call is a reed-type call as opposed to a traditional owl "hooter", it works very well to simulate a barred owl when using the "who, who, who-who" cadence. I got good, strong gobbles in Iowa just before and after a hunt when using it in this fashion. The price is great and it fits easily in a turkey vest.

I've tried this unit dozen's of times. in a place known to have barred owls. I finally got a barred owl to respond at 9:15 on an early December night. That was exciting. Whoever uses this needs to muffle it to get the low baritone effect of the bared owl's call.

I really like this hooter and think it is easy to use and I wish they made it out of wood to give it a deeper warmer tone but I had gobbles and barded owls banging back at it so it is going with me every time in the woods.

it works, it sounds like a "Owl" a generic Owl, you wont have a Barred Owl on you lips but you could get 90% there like a Barrel Owl with a head cold, no instructions to speak of, but its easy to pick up, you can also do Great Horned Owl, Great Grey Owl and any other large hooting Owl very easily

Very realistic sound. Very good price.

It's a decent owl hooter. It takes some practice but once you find the correct back pressure (chamber created with you hands at the end of the call) the right pitch can be obtained.

I wanted this owl call to increase the volume and range of my locator calls. I can make louder calls with my mouth than with this. No need to bring it along on turkey hunts.

Marketed as an Owl Hooter. It is a Turkey Gobbler.Very disappointed when I finally received this in the mail.
