I use a box call and my mouth, no reeds...I am open to some advice on a good call
Everyone should have a good glass or slate call in their arsenal. Good meaning different things to different people. I prefer custom call (boxes, friction,trumpets etc.) as they are more realistic and sound different than everyone else in the woods with the usual primos, knight and hale etc calls.
Don't get me wrong....they all call in turkeys. Custom calls do however make a difference on those battle smart tough ol' birds though. :twocents:

well.. :rolleyes: looks like someone came up with a new turkey hen squeel. I've never heard it from a real hen but I heard chickend do the squeel when mounted by a rooseter....so I'll buy that one ...no..... give me 2...so Smokey won't take mine! :chuckle: :chuckle: I think Knight and Hale Make it??
I want all of you guys/gals to buy that Hen Squeal call from H&S strut..so I know where you all are...LOL
Brings a new term to Squeal like a Hen not a Pig!...LOL There are parts of the state where you may call in more than just turkeys...LOL..Ma we have company..I heard another squealer...LOL :chuckle:
A squeal over here, a squeal over there, here a squeal, there a squeal, everywhere a squeal , squeal!..LOL :chuckle:

Funny..........I have read on some southern forums different posts regarding that call and everyone is laughing about it. Most say they have never ever heard a turkey hen make those sounds.....buyer beware...another gimmick. :bdid:

Mostly I've been trying to fill my vest with custom calls made here in Wa. I picked up a Jim Nelson box call last year so I'll figure that into my new calls, plus the wife has yet to realize custom calls cost a bit more than a Quaker Boy.

You wont be disappointed with the Zink reeds. I think Yelp can agree with this also.

I'm going to try Diaphragm Calls this year.
Any advise, or recommendation's?
I used a very basic single reed diaphram call first so I could even get a sound out of it.. Lot's of spitting and choking for a while before getting it down. If you drive to work by yourself practice while your driving.. You wont annoy the wife or neighbors and can practice a little everyday. As for which brand you'll just have to try a few and see how they work for you. I have a narrow mouth so I usually trim my call a little with scissors or buy smaller calls. My 2 favorite calls came in a cheap H.S. Strut 5-call pack that was like $12.. So price isn't always the main factor.

I picked up a 3 pack of diaphram calls last year just to see if I could make them work. Anyway to of the calls don't sound very good to me, but this one seems to produce a good raspy sound to me anyway.

I'm new to turkey hunting, and have never even hunted turkeys before. But I plan on going out this spring.

Starting out you can't go wrong with a Lynch box call. Relatively inexpensive and time tested.

Lynch World Champion and Foolproof Turkey Calls
They are listed at $29.99, which is a decent price for a what they are. I bought my first Lynch World Champion in Charleston, South Carolina in 1967 for $20. Thought my new bride was going to kill me...lol. Because it's old and carries the Birmingham Alabama address on it, it is worth considerably more now than what I paid. In fact I have several old Lynch calls, both World Champion and Foolproof.
You can also check Ebay as there are generally a fair number on there, most older and collectable, with some new production ones. If you have a sporting goods store close to you...i.e. Cabelas, Sportsman's, White Elephant...whatever, you should be able to find one.
Again....both sound great....World Champion is a two sided call, Foolproof hen single sided with a lip stop. Can't go wrong with either.

We are heading to Montana next week, so we are stopping at cabelas in post falls. I have a 50 dollar gift card so I'll look around when I'm there, problem is I also need a duck call :chuckle:.
Duck season is over......so priority is Turkey call. :chuckle:
Whatever you don't spend on the Cabelas gift card they leave on the card for later if you don't have enough for both.

For those still looking..I suggest a crow call..and call on it all the time..several times..That way I know where you are at..and where the turkeys aren't...LOL
Have you read the official news release this week which is forecasting a potentially huge migration of crows into Lincoln County on or about April 15th? Olympia is predicting that this year's record NE Washington crow migration could potentially produce non-stop Rio Wild Turkey shock gobbling, that may severely interfere with the upcoming Spring Turkey Hunting activities! :yike:
Does anyone else have more details on this impending freak event in nature? I've heard that it has been linked with our abnormally warm pre-spring weather??
Turkey hunters are being cautioned to stay home until this abnormal crow migration has passed, probably sometime by the end of May this year. :chuckle:

What crow calls do you recommend? ;)
Post by: Wacenturion on February 28, 2010, 09:43:51 PM
Yelp,
What crow calls do you recommend? ;)
Not trying to steal Yelp's thunder (he has none....lol.).....but my recommendation would be a Gibson Fat Boy. Bought a couple years ago from him back at an NWTF National (think that's where it was). I have a few other customs crow calls which are good, but Gibson's are the Cat's Meow in my opinion. Absolutely the best from the Master of killing crows. Here's a link. Any one of the three is perfect.

Phantom....wondering if I did the right thing sharing that. Maybe I rather should have sent you a PM, as now there's probably going to be a lot of crow calls out there that sound just like mine educating those gobblers.................including that Yelp guy (he always liked my crow call and I told him it was a Lohman, after which he went out and bought 3 of them.....crows go the other way when he toots...lol)..oh well, that's life...lol :bdid:

Wacent, I think you must be mistaken, Gibson is a guitar and mandolin manufacturer. I'm sure that you meant Lohman. :chuckle:
I have tried a Primos Power Crow for several years and have never gotten a Tom to sound off to it!!! Must be operator error??? :bash:
