I make a lot of my own mouth calls now, but I have always liked Woodhaven Scott Ellis Signature Series and Yellow Venom.
Hooks Heart Throb that is new this year is fantastic.
Gooserbat OsS
G U L V A S CALLS
True Double
David Halloran Natural Born Killer
Knight and Hale Split "V" . I had a 2 pack of them that I bought on the clearance rack at Walmart . I had those things for several years and finally lost them ,and cant find another call to sound like that.
Woodhaven toxic orange.
Quaker Boy Pro Triple, old boss hen and Twin II
Preston Pittman Sapphire and Woodhaven Red Wasp
The Hook's Heart throb is one bad joker. I had a couple more favorites from Hook's but this one will be tucked in my cheek on opening day.
Dead End Game Calls, Batwing 3, Shipwreck (combo cut), and Split V! Three different sounds, for different scenarios! Just my .02 worth!!
Gooserbat hillbilly
Cramers custom calls! Sexy suzy
Back in the day, it was the Preston Pittman black Diamond and later the magnum diamond.
Today, you can't go wrong with Hooks or gooserbat, bur my favorite is the Woodhaven Copperhead. I am afraid they have changed those up and they are getting harder to get.
Thanks everyone...very helpful. I love this site. So helpful. I just spent some money and I'll be well supplied come May! Couldn't find the XT kee anywhere but I sure did hit Hooks hard!...among others.
Hooks ex 2 or heartthrob. Can't decide

Well, my experience is limited as I've had a hard time finding diaphragm calls I could manipulate well enough to matter. Having said that, I've settled on 2.
HS ma deuce and the HS split v III. Much preferred the split v before the latex switch but I still find it to be a good call nonetheless.
Woodhaven Copperhead
Thunder ridge game calls, combo cut or a batwing cut
Wilbur Primos "True Double" or "True Triple".
Hooks Devastator that Scott stretches for me with a proph reed on bottom.
So there we have it,...total disagreement on what is the best call. :angel9:
...And here are the basic reasons: 1) nobody calls the same, and 2) every mouth call will sound differently because of the imprecision in the construction process.
...And here are the solutions: 1) practice, practice, practice,...until you can control the sounds you make with a mouth call, and 2) learn to modify each call you get to find the "turkey" in each individual call.
The End... ;D ;D ;D
Executioner II and Halloran TKO

Hooks Executioner
Do like I did I started practicing several years ago calling with my mouth now I carry a trumpet call and do the close in calling with my mouth. if you will practice yelps purrs clucks are easy to learn. I just never did care for diaphragm calls so I just learned to do it this way.
Bought a pile over the years from the big names and the custom guys and I must say the Will Primos signature call is my favorite.
I like the hooks executioner and woodhaven copper head
gooserbat heckler

Gooserbat Double Bit!
Hooks 3 Reed Modified V and Hooks Executioner 2

Preston Pittman Black Diamond
2000's.....Knight and Hale Four Aces
Current....Gobbler Clobbler Green Gobblin'
Gulvas Master's Choice and 4 Runner. Nothing else comes close to sounding like a REAL hen turkey in the woods IMO.
I was given a Sheaux Stopper GV that I am currently really digging.
Woodhaven copperhead for me. I like the hornet and the hooks executioner in the full-size frame almost as well.
Well I see I wasn't the only one to love the Pittman Black Diamond back in the day, that call called in so many birds for me its just unreal. Would love to have me about 1000 of the old ones again!!
Hooks executioner and ex2. Will be trying heart throb this year !
Executioner 2. I like the bacon alot too, but it's nothing like the executioner. I'm going to buy a few more Hooks to try soon.
My favorites over the years
Pittman Black Diamond
Primos True Double
Quaker Boy Raspy Checkmate
My current favorite
Hooks Executioner II
Hooks Enforcer and Game Changer 2
Hooks calls are great but I can't get away from the Flextone Freak Nasty.

Woodhaven Black Wasp... Close second with Hooks Executioner II
