Slate sounds good but I'd probably go with glass.  The slate can be a little finicky in high humidity.

I love slate but my woodhaven glass is a screamer on a windy day.

Glen Marrer Glass over Slate or Crystal over Glass.  Either in Zebrawood.

If you already own a slate, I'd buy the glass. If you are buying your first pot, consider aluminum.

 :deadhorse:   every year it the same question, What 1 to buy.

Theres an EASY solution.

BUY 2 :you_rock:

All in good fun :goofball:

Its hard to tell someone what to get.  What is your experience level?  What calls have you had success with in the past?  If its been loud screaming long boxes I say go with the glass.  If you had success with softer calls go slate.    Or go both in a 2 sider. ;D

slate easy to master, aluminum for loud calling.
this question is like stepping on a ant mound. find out if there are any call makers in your area they will be glad to let you play there calls.

If you're in a southern state I would go with a glass. that early morning dew or humidity can completely make a slate sound dead.

 Slate for sure . It may be finicy in wet weather but nothing creates the nasally tone of a wild turkey better than slate IMO .  :turkey2:
