Title: most favored call
Post by: Gobble Doc on May 02, 2012, 07:41:40 PM: What call do you prefer for a regular turkey hunt sitting under a tree? Slate, box, or diaphram?

And other times I want crisp clucks or the yelp of the box. Why do you think turkey vests have so many pockets? I think it is specially for call junkies like myself that will try almost anything once.

BUT if you made me pick just one...mouth diaphragm because of hands free

Post by: WAcoyotehunter on May 03, 2012, 07:47:21 AM: diaphragm calls 95% of the time. Sometimes I use a slate.

I HATE all the damn gimmicks on mouth calls nowadays. I have a hard time finding a plain old call without 'cups' or other BS.

Post by: Wacenturion on May 05, 2012, 03:20:41 PM: My favorite without hesitation is a custom glass over slate friction call made by a southern gentleman I will refrain from naming. His calls are now extremely expensive if you can find one, as he has retired from call making. Absolutely the most realistic call I have ever used, and I have quite a collection. Lets just say if I could only keep one call.....it would be that one without even pausing to think about it. Deadly. :tup:

Post by: kevinlisa06 on May 10, 2012, 07:15:29 PM: I have quite an assortment of calls that I take in my vest but the main 3 that I use are a Red Head Jerry Martin Box call made of Mahogany/Sycamore the wife calls it the red headed slut, a Primos Power Crystal with a purple heart striker and then my slate also a Primos call the Wicked Hen with an oak striker. My Howard House slate call has been retired to the shelf to preserve it.
