Title: Next Call?
Post by: im_otto on June 05, 2014, 11:34:12 AM
Ok, I am looking for some input on what should be my next call.

I have the following pot calls:

Lonnie Sneed Hot Hen
Halloran Laminated Slate
Halloran Crystal Mistress
Halloran Twisted Sister
Clint Corder Osage Orange Glass
Lonnie Sneed Outlaw Hen(my favorite)

Thanks for the input.

How does the Laminate Slate compare to the Hot Hen?

Sounds like you need a box call to go along with that impressive list of pot calls.

Jimmy Schaffers mad hen crystal call,  Paul Platz cherry or maple slate,  an SS field grade box or a Darrin Dawkins aluminum call.  Scoot

The Hot hen is a slate over wood, and the Laminate is slate over glass. They both sound great, but the Laminate is a little louder and higher pitched. The hot hen is better for birds close and the Laminate is better for birds that are a little farther away.

Hope this helps.

I have a Woodhaven Realhen Cherry box call that I like very much. I know there is probably ones better out there, but I go with what I know works, and I know the Realhen works.

Is Dawkins calls worth $50 + Halloran?

Personally, I don't think so

 Thanks for all your input. I am going to try to acquire a Halloran Aluminum.

I have 2 good aluminum calls.........a beautiful Lights Out Yellowheart / anodized a "Silver Fox" by Al Holbert at Enticer.
I actually much prefer everything about the Enticer over the other.
In my hands at least, It's a much easier to run and more forgiving call. It likes a wide range of strikers and has a great tone and break over. It will call soft and loud easily and with a striker like my Dad's Wenge will kee kee as easy as it gets for fall use.
Nice call! It uses a raw surface so you will get some light build up on your striker tips that you will need to remove but no big deal.

Enticer Calls is a real sleeper in custom calls. I have 3 or 4 now and a few are real "Go to" calls.
