What call in vest has killed the most birds for you in the last few years? Mine would be Buster persimmon red slate or Dawkins plastic grey slate. Most responses probably Brad Roberts black line persimmon glass.

Toss up between a slate call my neighbor made me and a Hooks Executioner mouth call. Usually 1 of those 2 calls is the death of a Tom.

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

I really don't have a preference....




As long as it's a longbox....




And the call body is made of cedar, or butternut, or poplar.......




And has a cedar lid.....




;D

Lewis Stowe Lignum Vitae and a Steve Mann Hybrid Hen of Walnut and Butternut. Few years back I had to make myself leave a Ricky Padgett Persimmon slate at the house, nothing else was getting kills. He'll even tell you I'd call him with a dead turkey and say I hated him and the call for what they were doing to other calls.

Back in my early years it was a homemade snuff can and a piece of slate glued into a turtle shell with corncob cedar striker

Next was production calls ..  Lohman Thunder Dome slate, Quaker boy 2 face pot call, push pin, Lynch box and HS Strut box

Now present time: I carry the first ceramic call i ever bought and that's a Jim Shelley ceramic in a cherry pot. along with custom boxes, pot calls and trumpets ... That ceramic has called and killed a lot of gobblers over the years.

It sure has been an exciting ride through the years chasing these gobblers ...

I also have a draw full of production calls that didn't meet the grade... LOL...

So it has been a progression of calls ...throughout the years.  No way i could just say one ...

 First call out is a Jimmy Schaffer black walnut pot with grey slate over grey slate and either a JLH frogwood, bullfrog, heavy cedar or heavy hickory striker.

Primos "True" Double and "True" Triple.  I have used these mouth calls for a long time.
