Pot Calls Forum / Re: Best Crystal pot under 80....

Last post by mountainhunter1 - Today at 04:32:46 PM

I have 100.00-150.00 pots sitting here from most of the major pot builders in my office, but I personally think that the Wooodhaven Cherry Crystal for around 89.00 give or take is as good a crystal pot as a man needs. I have one new in the pack (had it for years), and not sure why I have not taken it to the woods (it is as good as any higher dollar pot that I have). Every time I take it out of the pack and play it, I always say to myself, "Man, that call sounds really really good." I don't have much of Woodhaven's stuff, but I do know that if you buy A Cherry Crystal from Mike at Woodhaven, he will send you two strikers and also one of his covers to protect the surface. I love his pot call covers.

As the curmudgeon Frank Cox said, "My Grand Nationals is out there in the go**amn woods with the turkeys."
All kidding aside, I run a yelper all year and always kill some turkeys with one, but I don't hold a candle to some of the fellows on this forum. Of the ones who've posted soundfiles on OG, as I mentioned before, Terry is the best I've heard. To the point I didn't want to believe it was a yelper he was running for awhile. I wish those video files would still play on that old post.

Thursday, May 16th: Weather forecast called for rain in the night, and sure enough, it has come. We step outside the house only to find everything soaked...and a foggy and soggy morning awaits us. Not to be deterred, we jump in the truck and head towards the two properties we can hunt well before daylight.

I drop off my hunting buddies at two locations on one property and then head on down the road to the other, hoping between the three of us, we can gain some "recon" on the hunt area. The property I go to turns out to be a bust in that I hear no gobblers, or see any, on the place. However, about midmorning after the fog has lifted and things are beginning to dry out, I hear a single distant gobble from off of the property.

Despite my calling efforts, I get no response from the bird again. Later, my buddies have better news in that both of them have heard multiple gobblers on the other property, although they are unable to entice any of them.

That afternoon, a couple of hours before dark, the three of us return to the property, spot a couple of gobblers in a field, and try to work them. Although they will gobble enthusiastically at our calling, we are just not where they want to go, and at dusk, they fly up to roost very close and we get a good fix on where they are...and where they might fly down in the morning.

A plan is set for the next morning for my two buddies to try those gobblers...and I will hunt another corner of the same property to look for more birds elsewhere.

Wild hogs have exploded here in SOutheast in the last 20 years and the Turkey#'s seems to have went down with it, is there any research on wild hogs raiding nest?

Wednesday, May 15th: After fifteen hour drive, we (three of us) get to Kansas destination, meet our host, and have just enough time to drive around the areas we have to hunt before dark. No turkeys heard or seen, but we will be ready to get after them in the morning...

I can update again. Just did the team scores. I'll catch big birds later.
