Phelps Turkey Calls

[carpsniperg2]

Got the calls!!!! For the last few hours I have been running around with them and calling. Got a few weird looks at the grocery store and a good laugh out of the guys at the tire store. Then it turned to yelling when a truck caught on fire in the parking lot About swallowed one of the calls yelling for someone to grab me a fire extinguisher 

OK back to the calls. Once again Jason I think you have made some great call. By no means will I ever call myself a great turkey caller. I know you love honest feedback and felt I would give my 2 cents on what calls I like and what calls I don't care for. Granted everyone can sound a little different with calls so each person can be different on there views.

Love the standard double and the charcoal triple! Amazing sounds and these 2 will be my go to calls this year. I like the charcoal even a little better then the standard double.

I like the red and green and the red a little better of the 2 triples. I am just not getting the tones I love to hear but they still sound very well. They will still go with me but will be more for playing around or switching up sounds on a bird that I have talked to before or just to try something new.

I do not care for the v cut clear triple and the purple double. The purple is my least favorite. I don't care for the sound I am getting and having a hard time keeping a good tone in the sequence that I am doing. The v cut clear I am not able to hit the sharpness at the end of my notes. Once again just me and the way I am working them.

I look forward to seeing how the latex holds up and will see what the birds think very soon!!!!

Matt, Awesome Review

I have already started making some changes to the "Sassy V" as it is a LOT of Latex to move.

The dislike of Casper (2.5 ghost cut aka "Dragon Slayer" elk call) does have me surprised because the stretch is very close to that of the Bat wing and straight double.  Do me a favor and pull on the two purple points in the cut.  Just hard enough to get it to separate the layers.  I'm curious if this will help.

[carpsniperg2]

That did help it a lot Jason. Is the purple a different type of thickness of latex. I brake it free and it sounds good but after a few calls it really seems to be clinging to the layer under it.

[JPhelps]

Yeah it a .004 purple over two layers of prophylactic.  Mine only sticks after I let it dry but it usually breaks free after a couple series of yelps.  If you want you can put some cooking oil on your finger a get it between those layers and it should help them from sticking that bad OR if it keeps hanging up let me know.

[carpsniperg2]

I will give that a shot. I will play with it a little more over the next day or to. Maybe if I break it in a little more and get that oil in there it will stay free. Thanks

Got to see and llisten to your calls while visiting Yelp April 18th a.m.    Sweet calls Jason.  I will be ordering some soon, and dumping some of the mass produced calls.   Cut my teeth bow hunting deer & elk near Lebam/Francis in the 60's & 70's.  Have also chased some toms in the area.  Great place to live and hunt.

Thanks and that's good to hear.

Yeah I like it around here.

Very interested in a pot call Jphelps.  Curious on what ya got and maybe get rid of some of what I have in my vest and replace them with your calls.

[JPhelps]

I'm in the process of making another 15 glass over slate in a walnut pot.   I will let you know when they are finished (most likely not in time for season).
