Title: Soft calling pot
Post by: bigbird on February 04, 2014, 02:45:30 PM
   I was just wondering what you all had to think about who makes the best soft calling pot call? I've got a Woodhaven purr pot, but was wondering if there was a good custom call out there that you don't hear much about that is better than a purr pot?

Any good quality slate is a great soft call, especially with strikers made from pecan or cedar.

+1   Take any good slate call and lay it flat in the palm of your hand to help mute it and it will work just great!!!

I agree. Get a good quality slate pot call and two strikers. One hard for loud calling and a softer wood for the early morning tree calling and in close work.

Here are two I have had a lot of success using. The call on the left is the Tree Talker from Roger Parks and the call on the right is Lonnie Sneed's pocket call. I killed gobblers in Colorado and Kansas right at fly down with nothing but the Parks Tree call. Both birds answered my tree yelps and flew down literally right in my lap.
