If I were going to buy a couple calls for my first real attempt at turkey hunting, what should I buy?

Get a box call. My favorite is the Lynch “World Champion” Turkey Box Call. Still the best sounding out there and you don't have to be an expert caller to make it bring the Toms in. Add a a crow call or owl hooter as a locator call and you are good to go.

I make a ton of pot calls and have had good success. Let me know if you’re interested.
Those are beautiful!

For pot calls I'd recommend having slate and glass with a variety of strikers to achieve different pitches/tones. I prefer slate but if it is damp/raining forget about it! Your slate will fail and thats when glass can shine! You don't need to shell out big $ to get started. I use Primos and HS Strut calls, pretty cheap overall. Good luck! Enjoy the rest of your season!

I find all friction calls will work,depends on the tom, and the particular day. Just like people, we all have a certain thing we look for in our woman, and we are all different. But I just say my sweetest call is home made, I cut a thundering and mounted it in an oak base. It has a ve r mellow sweet sound, with good high pitched mixed in. And each side of the stone gives off different sounds. Oh and if anyone goes to town with this idea, I would style for 15% of your profits! 😇

Those are the most beautiful calls I have ever seen!  I bet they make enticing music to all turkeys.  You must have worked on them a long time.  Thanks for showing them.

Check out Lights Out game calls. He sells on eBay as well as Midwest Turkey. I have 3 of his pots with tuned strikers. Prices are great, called in all of my gobblers over the last 3 years with one of his calls and, and they are beautiful. I got the set as a Christmas gift from my mom before she passed away.
As far as strikers go I run 8 in my pouch and I run 3 of the matched ones plus 5 from another call maker. Woods all run differently on a call surface and every gobbler has a tone he is looking for. Get a few and try them all.
