Guys, I have a question. If you had to pick one slate call to hunt with the rest of your life, what would it be and why?

Lonnie Mabry cedar slate, most realistic slate I have ever heard.

I'd have to go with a Paul Platz cherry slate. Redbeard's would be a close second. Both calls just sound better than other slates to me.

Just one would have to be mabry cedar slate. Have others that sounds as good or better to my ear now but definitely has the most kills.

I have never had the privilege of running a Mabry, but hope to meet him, eventually. I bet I have bought 7-8 Sneed Hot Hens, to get one that I will not sale...EVER. With that said, I am now carrying a grey slate in a chestnut pot, that Mark Cunningham made, and I have no intentions of looking any further. This reminds me; I have several slates that I need to sell.

Thanks, guys! I love hearing what calls everyone would choose if they could only hunt with one.

Solid choice! I planning on hunting mine this year.

If I am limited to one I would have to go with a Paul Platz cherry slate I killed birds with last few years but I am really liking the red and green slates this year.

That's always been my use for a slate, a clean non glass sound. Having a slate that sounds like glass defeats the purpose in my mind. The two I prefer are Sneed or Madhatter for that reason.

Mine would be my Lonnie Mabry walnut slate. I killed my first turkey with it and as the old saying goes, if it ain't broke ...

Lonnie Mabry cedar with a Halloran hickory striker. Second would be a Mabry walnut and third a Sneed hot hen. I have all 3 but the cedar always has first spot in the vest.

Mabry walnut or cedar, Wynne persimmon, Sneed Hot Hen are all great choices. I have a Brad Roberts cedar/green slate that's amazing and a Buster's Canarywood slate that's awesome too.

One slate call = CODY World Class Slate

Why = Performance

Been over 20 years and the call kills!
