Title: Call You Had the Most Responses From 2019
Post by: va longbeard on June 08, 2019, 01:10:58 PM
What call did everyone get the most responses from this year.

I only got to hunt one day on an out of state hunt this year, broke my shoulder day before opening day where I normally hunt so I cant contribute much about calls this year.

I mainly hunted trumpets and Shag Hill and Jeff Erb got many responses for me. Box calls were henboxes from Richard Hudson and Matt Fulkerson and the birds gobbled well to them also.

My Lonzo laminate green slate had the most responses in total by far this season. That's mostly because it went on the most outings without killing. I would rotate to another call after a kill, and had several very successful hunts that had great responses from certain other calls though. Multiple Watkins fiddle boxes, a Daybreak aluminum, Brad Roberts green slate, Lonzo ceramic, and Paul Durham glass were all calls that had fantastic responses, even though some were only used for a couple hours at most.

2013 Buice Macassar Ebony trumpet. Every turkey I killed and called in for others in 2019 heard that call.

It's a dandy yelper for sure.  Unusual for me to limit myself to just one main call. I decided in February that I was going to not whore around..

Don't wanna act like it was more than it was but I bought this Lonzo green slate from the classifieds. Didn't even put it in my vest, it sat on my coffee table. 3 times, not days w it resulted in a bird hung up at 50 yards. (Never shot).
A double beard and a double w my buddy. All longbeards and the call was grabbed on the way out the door as an after thought. Lucky start this call

That's a EZ wingbone fellows. Let me tell ya it was deadly on the public land birds in my area.

Took one my my best birds using that call. May not be the longest spurs but look at the size of that left one. And it curls down. Almost a 12 inch beard.

Really like his wingbone calls.

I bought a grizz friction wood call on a whim last year. I thought it sounded pretty good, but I was a little unsure of it. The first bird that I called to with it I killed.  After that I gained more confidence in it and the turkeys absolutely loved that call.  Even at the end of the season when those birds have had everything thrown at them.
