Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Man I would hate to choose just one. But I guess that I would have to go with the one that I lost a number of years ago. It was a Quaker Boy box that they dont make any more, and I have yet to find another with its sound.
So second on my list is my Primos "Wet Box" followed by an old Lynch.

I have a battey slate that Will Primos gave me...It has called in at least 35 toms, it goes with me everywhere.  I love mouth calls...like several kinds from Preston Pittman to Quaker boy.
Wild Turkey, Walleyes, Whitetails and Wapiti..These are a few of my favorite things!!

As far as use.....mouth calls.  As far as overall favorite and sound ...a friction call from a gentleman down in Tennessee

I love my Primos Freak in crystal and Box Cutter.  For mouth calls, I like a Mini Sonic Dome double reed.

NWTF....what Quaker Boy call was it.  I have a box full of unopened Quaker Boy calls from years ago.  Might have one.

I have about 10 calls, sometimes I use three or four at the same time...errr at one sitting I should say, :)  One of my favorite calls later in the season after everyone has been running around calling loudly and cuttin up a storm is a little skoal can, slate call my great grandpa made me with a corn cob stricker.  Very sweet, soft purrs and clucks, like a real hen.  It has been the death or many longbeards that come slippin in silently.   8)

mouth diaphragm, aluminator pot, and medium sized Jones box call.  I have a long Quaker Boy box that really reaches out there and has great sound.  I like that one too.
