HS Strut Mega Hoot Owl — Closed-Reed Owl Call, Attracts Turkey, Brown (STR06973)
Shock gobblers into answering with the HS Strut Mega Hoot Owl. This closed-reed owl call throws rich, throaty owl sounds that cut through timber at daybreak, making it easier to attract turkey species (as a locator) without overcalling with hen notes. Rugged and reliable in the field, the Mega Hoot’s brown body fits naturally in your hand and delivers consistent “who cooks for you, who cooks for you-all” rhythms that trigger toms to sound off so you can pinpoint roosts and set a smarter game plan.
Perfect for early-morning fly-down, mid-morning repositioning, or late-day roost checks, this easy-running locator keeps your hands free for glassing and navigation while producing authentic owl hoots—even in breezy conditions.
Why You’ll Love It
Realistic Owl Tones: Full-bodied hoots, laughs, and cadences that prompt shock gobbles without educating birds.
Closed-Reed Consistency: Built-in backpressure and reed protection make it easier for beginners and rock-solid for veterans.
Range & Volume: Projects through hardwoods and bottoms so you can strike birds at distance.
Field-Rugged Build: Durable brown housing stands up to pack rides, damp mornings, and temperature swings.
Hands-On Control: Subtle hand placement changes pitch and emotion to match local owls and conditions.
What It Does (and Why It Works)
Turkeys instinctively “shock gobble” at sudden, non-threatening sounds. The Mega Hoot Owl reproduces those classic barred owl phrases that flip the switch for toms to answer back. Use it to locate—not call in—birds. Once you know where they are, switch to your turkey calls for the setup.

Air Control: Start with steady, hot air—say “who cooks for you, who cooks for you-all” into the call.
Cadence First, Volume Second: Get the rhythm right, then add volume to reach ridgelines and draws.
Listen & Move: When a gobbler answers, mark direction, move with the wind and terrain, and swap to turkey calls for the setup.
Don’t Overdo It: One or two hoots, then go silent. Let the bird tell you what’s next.
Pro Tips for More Gobbles
Prime Times: Pre-dawn, fly-down, and pre-roost are the best windows.
Use Terrain: Hoot from just over a rise or at timber edges to carry sound and make birds hunt for you.
Match the Mood: If birds are tight-lipped, cut volume and slow the cadence; if wind picks up, add sharp emphasis to the “who.”
Stay Legal & Ethical: Use as a locator only in areas where owl calling is allowed; minimize disturbance when birds are on the limb.
Durability & Care
Weather-Resistant: Performs in damp, cool morning air; wipe dry after use.
Simple Maintenance: Occasionally clean the mouthpiece; avoid soaking the reed system.
Long Service Life: Closed-reed design protects internals during transport.
