anybody else out there use tube calls for turkey hunting?

i can think of 4 toms i got headed into the kill with a tube when nothing else seemed to get their attention. each time it was an extremely windy day.

or maybe its just the fact that when i blow a tube call its likely the first time a tom has heard that call. just something different to pique their interest.

i think they make great yelps, clucks and cuts. i have a hard time toning a tube call down, though. seems like everytime i blow it, its loud.

i picked up a tube made of cherry wood a couple weeks ago and i think it sounds much better than the one i have made of some synthetic (plastic?) material.

tubes are not my go to call by any means but i always have one with me.

I started to run a tube about 4 years ago. Never go into the woods w/o it around my neck. Great for loud cutting and yelping. Tube works great on public land, because most folks dont use them.

I've never used a tube call, but I carry two wing bone calls in my vest.  When the birds begin to get pressured the wing bone comes out!

I'VE NEVER USED ONE EITHER, BUT WOULD LIKE TO GIVE IT A SHOT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS OF SOMEWHERE I CAN ORDER ONE? I'VE NOT SEEN VERY MANY.

I use one religiously for locating.  Definetly provides a different tone.  Call the shop and ask for Jimbo.  He should have a few laying around the shop.
