Title: New guy looking for other mouth calls to try...
Post by: ezmorningrebel on March 25, 2018, 12:09:24 PM
I'll start by saying I'm pretty new to turkey hunting.  Last spring was the first time I got serious about pursuing them and had a couple of close calls.  Same thing this fall but haven't sealed the deal yet.  I tried a bunch of mouth calls last year and the two that worked best for me were the cheap primos aframe doubles from Walmart and a navy blue perfection call (super double d maybe?) that Jim Clay handed me at a show.  Both of these calls have two thin reeds which I'm guessing are easier to use?  Anything else out there I should try?  Thanks.

I have used a few calls, and have it narrowed down to Gooserbat and Hooks...

Both are great call makers, and both will talk to you on the phone and send you their personal recommendations based on your description of needs and wants out of a call.  Both are less expensive than many of the commercial calls as well...

I also like Woodhaven calls, but feel that they are a bit over-priced currently...  There are a couple I really like, and if I see them on sale will purchase them though.

Every person will have a different preference along with a different anatomy regarding tongue, mouth,etc.
What you need to do first is figure out what air flow you have. After you have that nailed down, then you'll know what cut will suit your anatomy.
If you go to Calling All Turkeys on Youtube, you'll find a video that explains which cuts will suit your particular needs.
It's easy and it'll pay you dividends in calls that you didn't waste and frustration you didn't needlessly put yourself through...

Sixbird nailed it. You can't take that advice to the bank.

Try a 2 reed batwing call.  Legacy game calls makes a good one.

Wow that video was pretty eye opening.  I didn't realize what the different cuts were for.  Thanks for posting that.

Can't beat the Hooks for the price and a great sounding call.  I prefer the heart throb and enforcer
