I want to try a "slate" type call actually, I want one of the calls that are a round plate and use use a stick striker to make noise???
LOL :chuckle: :chuckle:
So what i wanna know is, slate best? Glass? some sort of stone or chalk? I use a box call well but I would like to learn one of these. So is one easy to use?
Thanks
Carl

I will be doing a 2 hour turkey hunting and calling clinic again this year at Cabelas on Sat. Feb. 27th from 10am to noon with non-sanctioned calling contests for youth at 2pm and adults at 3pm (with prizes). We will have a table there from 8am to around 6pm too, and if you'ld like to come down at anytime we'll be glad to give you some one-on-one time and ensure you know how to use your calls. More to follow ...

What call(s) were you using a couple of years ago when you called the tom down the ridge from over a 1/2 mile or so during the youth season in Central Washington?

Get one of each. Not a joke :chuckle: One might work when the other won't. I carry 3 different slate calls. Along with box and boat paddle calls. ;)
amen to that i carry five, 2 slates 2 diaphrams and a box call. the box call cuts threw the wind like no other. i like the mouth calls because its hard to work a box or slate at full draw lol

I cannot work a diaphram call at all. I am a clutz!
Thanks for the advice, I cant wait to get them and get practicing.
I might go to your Turkey deal, Turkey dancer,

Slayer, I was watching the video last night and I can't tell which calls you were using. But your calling sounded sweet and the Tom was tearing it up that morning answering your calls!

I carry 2 box calls, 3 slate/glass calls, 5 strikers, and about 6 reed calls. My hunting partner has about the same.

I agree about keep trying the mouth diaphragms ... it took me hours to even make a sound, but it came quicker and quicker with the more I practiced .... if you can say the letter "S" you can make them work and I can teach you a few simple tricks that will make it easier to master. I'm probably not the best caller in the state, but I'm good enough to get birds in as close as their heads at my pants pockets and landing onto my boots ... good enough for me ... besides a live hen would never win a calling contest, but it sure seems good enough for all the toms !
