Bill Barker Gobble/yelper box.
Bill Barker S/S pot in english yew  (my favorite)
Andy Smith glass/glass in zebrawood (wife bought for anniversary last year)
Lightsout S/glass in holly with ebony striker
Pappy's anodized aluminum/S in strawberried elder
Dave Smith aluminum in koa and copper in koa matched set
Jack Mincey ceramic in oak burl.

Hooks Hoot'n stick
HS barrel hooter

Sanatorium Crow in mulberry

I'm really looking forward to Dan's mouthcalls!

I have a primos Piggyback double that is alright and a Sportnwood double that I recently ruined.

Misc factory pots:

I do like it, it is alot quieter than my barrel call.  I pm'd shootum about it and he said I could talk to the designer for tips at Hooks, but haven't gotten around to it yet.  It works on backpressure as opposed to just the wind like the barrel call.  I think it will make alot more authentic sounds once I learn to use it properly.  It didn't come with any instruction which would have been nice.  That being said, last year when I walked on to state land, I thought there must have been 10 other hunters where I was blowing on their calls, but they were real birds and no gobbles at them, probably because there was too much noise.  I haven't had any luck at getting gobbles from any locator call on state land.  I think I told it before, but the only gobbles I've gotten while hunting state land were 20 yards off the land on private property, ha.
