Best call
« on: April 14, 2019, 12:41:03 PM »
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.

Pot calls for sure.

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