What call can you use the best? I seem to be able to make the best sounds with a slate call. I can use a mouth call but have trouble doing purrs with it. I try to carry a slate,mouth and push button on all my hunts.

Long box. Kee-kee of a young hen through the gobble of a long beard, and everything in between.
-
Mouth call. I’ve calles in birds with pot calls and a few with a box but 95% with a mouth call. Hoping to add one with a trumpet this year.
-
Hands down it has always been a slate pot until the last few years then my micarta aluminum has taken over. That call just flat out calls anything else I have used.
-
First, pot calls then mouth calls then box calls. That’s also the hierarchy in confidence.
-
Pot calls for me. Just called in my first birds with a trumpet yesterday though. Young fella we took out for youth killed his first turkey.

Mouth call for me. Wouldn't mind toting around a well worn long box though...some day.

Tube call

I reach for a trumpet first and then a scratch box. All that I need.

My Full Choke, Sycamore short box.

Richard hudson hen box. Just flat kills birds.

In what combo S&P?
-
I feel most confident with either a hen box or a trumpet/wingbone.
-
I've worked hard on being able to run a mouth call the way I'd like but the I really took to scratch boxes started killing birds with them the first week I had one and they are very effective for me.

Snakewood over english walnut

Scratch Box for me. I always have a mouth call in for the finishing call if needed. I carry a Long Box and a Slate too just in case.
-
Trumpet for me these days.....very realistic and great soft talk. I never have to worry about the weather/humidity, they always work.
-
Mouth call for me.
-
I use them all, but a box call for me is the simplest and most reliable.
-
A pot call for me.
-
Mouth call for me too. Tie breaker with my pots is the hands free of the mouth call. :z-twocents:
-
Pot call, but I’ve killed about as many birds with a mouth call. Killed quite a few with a box as well.

Any crystal pot call followed very closely by mouth calls

I'm really liking the World Class slate and the Drop Dead slate. Both are great, easy running and sound calls.

The past couple of years has been a black acrylic stoned aluminum from Lon Trice. I've had great results from it from all over the country

Mouth call

If I could only ever carry one type of call, it would be a mouth call.... You can get a wide variety of sounds in a very small space, and there is no movement... Versatile and relatively loud (but can be made to be quiet). Great call to use if you are going to "walk & talk" to sound like a moving hen. Very often when moving on a bird and trying to sound like a moving hen, I will use a mouth call while I actually am in motion.
Called in my first bird from start to finish with a scratch box (from Lonnie Gilbert) this season... I think they are a great call on the low end stuff, but you can still yelp, cluck, and cut on them... Perhaps because they are new to me, I enjoy tinkering with and playing them over other calls currently.
Box calls seem to reach out and cut through the wind... Easy call to sound good on that is fun to play.. Last year I had my daughter with me, and we got a distant gobble with the box... Figured it was too far away for much concern, so we had "snack-time" and played with our box calls... I was showing her how to cluck and purr, and just having a little fun with the calls... With our mouths full of peanut butter crackers, we suddenly heard gobbling almost right on top of us...
Three jakes and a tom (guess who was in the back of the pack)… They stepped right out in range, but would not separate. We were behind a log, and my daughter was thrilled to make little clucks and purrs to insight them to gobble each time she made a sound...

I had awesome luck this year with 2 new calls:
1) Hanks Padauck Aluminum Pot - makes me want to get a Hanks slate...
2) Halloran box - walnut box w/macassar ebony lid - now I’m wanting to try one of his long boxes...

This year for me was a Seeetbriar glass/slate in a white walnut pot. It was used in the demise of 7 gobblers so far.
