If you could only carry one call, who's the maker, what type of call is it, what wood or materials is it made of? Thanks in advance for your responses! I really enjoy all the valuable information and entertainment everyone provides on this forum!

I would carry a African Blackwood Push-pin by Shannon. It pretty much produces all the calls I use in the field. The purrs and clucks have lured in some fine gobblers over the years. I'll never hunt without one....be safe....

would be tough for me to pick one out of these 2 but I think either one would suit me well
ghost cut diaphragm. Not picky on the maker, they all work pretty well for me
Scotts custom turkey calls purple slate trough call, mine happens to be blue mahoe but all of his sound good. I haven't had it long but it jumped the list fast for me once I started using it this past spring

I love my walnut call. It is just so classy looking and has great acoustics/harmonics.
For straight up sound. My Purple Heart is a monster.

I've sampled a lot of box calls over the years, I couldn't narrow it down to one from the list below. I'd be very happy to only hunt any one of them as the only call I hunt, but I couldn't identify one as being better than the other. All are top shelf.
Steve Mann, paddle call, eastern red cedar over poplar.
Dan Wittenberg, paddle call, eastern red cedar over butternut.
SS Calls, handled short box, bloodwood over limba.....my son and I each have one of these and both are killers.
TJ Johnson, long box, bloodwood over butternut.

It would be either my cedar double slates or one of my scratch boxes.

After the killing spree that it was a part of this spring I would probably have to go with my Permar 1930 trumpet.
A close second would be a Parks longbox.
