:dunno: dose anyone have or use one. does this thing work or scare the birds away.
i got one a while back and thinking of giving it a try this week any info.
Used one last year. I had set up on a Gobbler in early light and he shut up about mid morning. Decided to pull the squeeling hen call out and give it a try. Unknown to me I was surrounded by a group of hens. Thhey got very excited when I called and made more noise than I have ever heard from a hen before in my life. It kept thier interest for nearly an hour. They would come close and then back off again. I think in the right situation it would work, but I have only used it once while hunting turkeys.
It does call in Coyotes as well so be mindfull of that.
cool thanks ill give it a try and watch for the yotes.
I'm interested to hear how you do with it. Let us know & thanks.
:campfire:
God bless,Mudd :archer:
tell me where your hunting when you blow the squeeling hen. ill sit about 200 yards in the opposite direction. you will call the turkeys to me! :)
This is my opinion only.... Guy's have been shooting turkeys without the sqeeling hen for a long time.
It is just a gimmick!!!
Stick with what works,,,,Yelps and purrs.....
Their is a mod on here that is a turkey KILLER, that I would love to hear his opinion.
Don't know about the squeeling hen but I heard the talk dirty to me hen was working well this year. lol
Have to agree with everyone sounds like a gimmick, on one basis, have you ever heard of a bird making that sound. If yes use it, if not think about it.
its funny the same exact call is sold as a yote call a deer estrus call and the turkey call only difference is the color of the call makes me think...
I thought I was talking to a hen across the hollow on one trip this year, that is until the guy started using a squealing hen call. He sounded just like a hawk to me and I couldn't imagine a gobbler coming to his calling.
The Coyotes love it in the winter. We shot several last year when the snow was on. Seems they've heard one in distress before.
Horner that would be Curt(Guru) and no he does not use it unless he has added it recently. I doubt it, he does fine without it! Shawn
Its just another gadget to get your money.They are running out of ideas,Whats next the squealing pig for hogs!!Treat your self to a cup of coffee and enjoy the hunt.
It sounds just like the wooden hen! Well, if you don't practice enough :banghead:
"If it works" in my opinion it wont. that noise can be made with your diaphram calls.But i have never herd that noise out of a turkey.
Swamp Buck is right, you can produce the same sound on a mouth call. A friend of mine had 2 Jakes come running across a field about 150 yards to the gadget though. Just like the ad on TV showed. He also tried it on a couple of mature birds and they went the other way. I will stick to the clucks,purrs and yelps. I personally think it;s just another unneeded gadget to make somebody some money. If it was a sound a hen being bred made very often, I think more people would have heard it and it would have been on the market years ago. Just my opinon. P.S. Everybody does know how dumb Jakes can be sometimes.
I just watched a video of it on youtube, sounds like a great coyote call :)
thats what i was thinking so ill put her away till i go yote hunting
thanks guys
I think I need to be around some more hens because I have never heard them make such noise.

Hmmmm :thumbsup: :archer2:
i hunted across the field from a guy who was using one. Ive never heard a tom stop in mid gobble like that bird did. We had him going on the roost and as he was working too us, this clown started tooting on that thing. That tom shut his beak and never appeared. Ive never really hoped someone would swallow a call like I did that day.
