Call You Had the Most Responses From 2020
« on: April 09, 2020, 06:53:27 AM »
Starting a new thread on this for the spring 2020 season.

I started the 2019 thread last year the day after breaking my shoulder on our opening day, only hunted one day out of state last year.

I haven't hunted a great number of days yet this year 5 in total but I am having a great season so far 2 Osceloas and 1 South Carolina longbeard to date.

Birds have liked an older 2008 Darrin Dawkins walnut grey slate with a black locust striker and a Saddler Mcgraw slate purr pot with his long birch striker (been yelping on that pot with a two finger hold slow rolling the striker like Marlin Watkins uses on his coaxer call).  Also have had a bird gobble to TJ Johnson walnut/poplar box that I finished with the Dawkins slate.

Adding Paul Durham Koa green slate and Clay Townsend canarywood glass had birds gobble to both call last weekend.

The call I get the most response from is the key key run in the house, it annoys the heck out of my wife and the dog ain't real thrilled about it either.

Pot: HS Strut Triple Glass with wood striker
Mouth: HS Strut Raspy Old Hen

I am not much of a collector and I kinda just stick with what worked in the past.  I do want a Gooserbat mouthcall though (or three).
