Slate Calls
« on: April 02, 2020, 02:21:43 PM »
I know this is a loaded question but what's the best slate call that won't break the bank. I need to get it in time for season.

Mike  Yingling's  grey slate is a very good caller.

Buster Halford  also makes a outstanding slate.

Mark Cunningham or Paul Hicks make a great gray or black slate that will probably have a little less wait time than others. Also Blackstone custom calls and Mark Cornelius make a nice one too. May be a bit of a wait.

Mike Yingling should also not be overlooked.

Al's calls above my post here are also top notch.

Kevin with Pecker Wrecker has a killer osage and padauk slate.

Forgot about Buster and Chad R too.

Twyatt Sweetbriar makes a fine slate as well.

I second Paul Hicks for a grey slate. He made me one last year in a Persimmon pot  with a Cherry soundboard I really like.

I received recently a black slate / black slate in ebony it's awesome. If your looking for the older hen sound that what we used too get years ago. From John Sinclair
