Wet Weather Calls

[Hognutz]

After hunting in a virtual snowstorm last weekend, the wetness definitely was an issue. I used a mouth call, primarily, but needed something extra to seal the deal. I had an old carbon fiber (or whatever they are made out of) striker in my pack. I used that with a glass call to get the tom to come in. It played like a million dollars. Today I went to my stack of calls and took out a Warbird slate call. I ran it under the faucet to get it wet, and tried the carbon striker, again. It played like it was bone dry. That striker will be with me at all times from now on. I have not hunted in the rain, much. I am usually in a tent when it does, so I guess you can say that an old dog did, indeed learn a new trick. It is the wood striker that looses friction, not the pot..Any input??  Mike

I carry a carbon striker at all times as well. My glass and aluminum calls really like carbon and do great in wet weather. Slate not so much so if is raining you can bet I will be playing either glass or aluminum. Today's choice in the crappy weather we had up here was glass.

I always have a Mystic Stick in my vest, at least thats what I think it's called.

My wet weather call is a slate called the Thunder Dome by Lohman, I use an acrylic striker with it

I put that slate call under the faucet, and it played like it was dry as a bone..

You can make your own wet weather striker with a wood striker a piece of tape and a bit of JB weld.
