Your Deadliest Turkey Call?

I would have to say my Cody Woodsman Glass Call. My dad got me hooked on them a long time ago and I have stuck with them.

I use a cheap primos slate call mostly.At times, I'll go to the box call, and I'm practicing with a mouth call.

This thread got me to thinking:  What exactly IS my best call.

What I finally came up with was it's whatever I pick up after the turkey hangs up.

Let me explain.  First off, I don't go out with a whole lot of calls.  I pick a few calls and run with them until I lose faith in one or the other, and then I swap out.  Some years are better than others.  Sometimes I do a lot of swapping and sometimes not. 

So I'm sitting there working a gobbler and he goes quiet on me.  That's fine.  He's probably still walking towards me. He may be trailing a hen. He may have stopped for gas and a snack.  I'm not giving up.  Now comes a choice.  What do I hit him with next?

Whatever I pick next for the deal-closer is my deadliest call.  It's not going to be my loudest call. It isn't going to be my sexiest call.  It's going to be something that makes him think there may be another hen there.  Often times (you'll laugh) it's my Quaker Boy Easy Yelper, just because I can work it with one hand while I keep the shotgun on my knee.  Either that, or it'll be a mouth call-- whatever's handy at the time.  As I get older and have less to prove, it's sometimes nothing more than moving a stick around in the leaves.

I have had good luck on hung up toms by switching calls

My deadliest was an old hs strut diaphram that i modified with some v cuts. Sweet, sweet siren call of death to many gobblers. Sadly, it met it's own demise, forgotten on the seat of my truck in the sun. My new deadly call is a tube call, really love that thing for windy days and birds on public land that have been worked over by slate calls.

Probably an old Primos aluminum pot call.

A three Reed V cut is great but for some reason I have an old Lohmans  Thunder dome slate call that has a tone that drives an old Tom wild! I have had the thing for years and never used it much, I just started using  it again about three seasons ago. Man I am glad that I did!

Pecker Wrecker's Jail Bait (Hot Lips is a close second).

My call that has killed the most birds has to be my old Cody Envy. Probably 30+ birds with that one call before I retired it. My Clint Corder Osage/Glass stacked them up faster than any other call. I retired it at 13 birds.
