Your Deadliest Turkey Call?

[StruttinGobbler3]

Sitting here with turkey hunting on my mind and getting cabin fever. Thought I'd stir up conversation. What's the deadliest turkey call you own, your go-to? When I was about 16 my dad bought me a lynch world champion box call. Something about that old box simply made turkeys gobble when nothing else would. I had no idea what I had, thought it was just an ordinary box call. Lost it many years ago and I'd pay big money to have it back. Been searching for that sound out of a box ever since. Aside from that, I rely heavily on woodhaven mouth calls. What's yours?

My old faithful Mountain Hollow walnut double slate.  Carry at least 10 calls in my vest but that one always seems like it's the one that seals the deal.

Hooks swindler for me. It's plain deadly to them

A Rohm slate and a Lynch box have been very deadly  over the years.

Believe it or not, it's a Primos Ol Betsy grey slate with a wood laminate striker.  A production call that is only $14-$15 but gets tons of responses and has been the death of many birds.  It's the first out of my vest every morning.  TOTAL CONFIDENCE.

The 1st box I bought was a Lynch with a battleship  on top? Same problem , lost it, bought another 1, no where near as good. As far as best call now, my own slate over black walnut. And also , still searching for that sound..

MAD Super Aluminator, call has no less than 150-160 long beards to its credit.

Morgan Caller or Cox Trumpet; would hate to part with either.

I run diaphragm calls about 99% of the time.  Any given year I may decide that one call that I have is running better than the other.  I've ran an assortment of production calls and a few from smaller producers.  I tend to prefer a combo cut.  I like a little cleaner yelp sometimes so go with a straight double or a double cut.  I also like a ghost cut, and sometimes a V or batwing. 
I suppose that I'm not locked into any one.

Like you Hobbes, I'm pretty much a mouth call guy myself,...and what I use at any given time is based on the conditions at hand.  However, a friend of mine picked up a "Booger Bottom" box call at Walmart for twelve bucks that I have been totally amazed at how consistently gobblers will respond to it. 

Overall, that call has clearly demonstrated to me that there is a certain element in tonal quality in hen yelps that gobblers respond to better than others.  By that, I mean that to me that call sounds pretty much like a lot of other box calls,...but it will consistently pull gobbles out of turkeys when other calls won't.  Beats the heck out of me!... (post script:  I haven't figured out a way to steal that call from him yet...)

AGE Trumpets by Anthony Ellis, blackwood and osage in particular. Many gobblers have fallen to their music.

This call was so deadly the first several years that I owned it that I had to buy a backup just in case I lost/broke/wore it out.  I like to swap calls in and out of my vest almost daily, but this one is nearly always in there.

Seems like to finish the deal my Sneed's hot hen does the trick mostly. But I have an old original Quaker Boy Grand Old Master that has continues to strike turkeys.
