Starting lineup

[SteelerFan]

Still holding try outs for 1st string, but so far

Van Cise box
Hooks prodigy diaphragm (probably 2 - they're pretty light)
Sweetbriar cherry aluminum
Stumpy ceramic
Some gray slate (one of 3 or 4)
Misfire trumpet


... or a .22 mag and a 50 lb bag of corn

[Jbird22]

Haven't decided but this is what I'd go with if I was hunting tomorrow:

Crystal - David Halloran Crystal Mistress
Slate - Doug Morgan Yellowheart
Slate - Sadler McGraw Purr Pot
Aluminum - Mark Cunningham Walnut Green Aluminum
Bronzed Glass - Andy Kaiser FBE or Redheart (coin toss, both are good)

Strikers - a mix from Harold Fowler, Dewey Johnson (Dad's), Fred Cox, and Andy Kaiser

Mouth Calls - a few different versions with a modified ghost cut that I make
Box - Either a David Halloran Cost-style or Doug Morgan Turpin-style
Tube call - a B&W Ebony Doug Morgan/Jbird collaboration
Trumpet/Wingbone - A wingbone I made for myself from a 2 yr old gobbler I killed last year

Locators - HS Strut Palmers Hoot Tube (Wood) and Hooks Crow (Synthetic)...Hardly ever used either

22 mag and corn is the most effective thing listed in this thread!

Crystal mistress - Shaffer blue mahoe - dymondwood and Mac ebony strikers — hooks mouth call

I'm trying to convince myself into only carrying one of my Buice Trumpets. I really want to work a turkey start to finish with one of them. My guess is that I will also carry a Mabry walnut slate, a Watkins bloodwood over beach fiddle box and a Woodhaven toxic orange mouth call, though.

Why wouldn't you carry a Buice trumpet?

I'll absolutely be carrying it. What I'm considering is carrying only it at least to start this year. I carried my Osage Buice every hunt last year, but at that point I had not learned to get quiet on it to finish a turkey.

[Gog1015]

Green Slate- Brad Roberts cedar
Slate- Marlin coaxer
Glass over Slate- Larry "Buster" Halford Osage
Short box- TJ Johnson Chakte Viaga/Black Limba
Strikers- Clay Townsend snakewood/persimmon
Mouth call- Legacy prized possession

I have a few calls in the mail so this is subject to change before March 9 youth weekend!lol

Dang. Some of you have basketball starting lineups but there's several football sized lineups on here too. Do y'all have a Sherpa to push a wheelbarrow around the woods to haul em?

That Tipton purr pot is a killer I love mine!

For soft talking its hard to beat.

Yes. It pairs great with trumpets for those of us that can't purr on one. Use it when they are getting close to pull them into range. Great for soft purrs, clucks, and tree yelps. Even get a good fighting purr on it. Great little versatile purr pot.

Get a little purr pot or scratch box to purr and do soft yelps, clucks once he gets close
