The Call You Have ABSOLUTE FAITH In

Prospector

Almost ashamed to admit this LOL... not very good on a mouth call- my fault; just won't practice enough bc I struggle with the fit I guess... can call with my natural voice softly well enough to have called several over the years... my go to? A Primos box called a Graphite Prospector (????). Found it in a Mom n Pop gas station/ bait shop/outdoor store YEARS ago covered in dust ... got home, played it and thought,"Nahh". Set on a shelf several years (seasoning I guess), then one day I played it again and thought," I believe that will hunt...". Been in my vest ever since... I have bought several custom boxes lately, they are all good and probably sound better but that little box just fits my hand...
Also, I'll throw some Luv to the Woodhaven Cherry Classic Slate too... it seems to step up once or twice a season itself.

A good friend of mine told me to take 2 of my best push pins and when the Tom's won't cooperate, hit them with the fighting purr with the 2 push pin's. I can honestly say that this absolutely worked last spring, I have complete faith in this set-up.....be well....
I've had this work a few time especially early season in MS

Was a Hustlin Hen at one time, has been a Mabry box or walnut slate at times. But for about a half decade if he's GOT to die its a Ricky Padgett Persimmon slate over glass he hears last.

Yea, it seems to rile them up real quick especially when there are multiple Tom's....

I run a couple of diaphrams that I like, but calls don't matter to me.  I can take a 50 year old Lynch and do the exact same thing as a slate/crystal/glass...  really does not matter.  It is in the inflection in the call and the rhythm/volume of the hunter.

I don't like to brag on my unique talent, but on any given day I can make the best of calls sound bad.  It's a gift I discovered early in my turkey hunting career.  I can run a call for weeks on end before season, and sometimes during season before one day I sound like a rusty gate hinge.  It happens sporadically, most days it's just one call, some days it is every call I own.

So it makes it real hard to pick one I have absolute faith in because, like a roadhouse girlfriend, they will turn on you when you least expect it. 
Love to hunt the King of Spring!

I think you are a lot better than you think.......Turkey vocabulary is not perfect either. I've heard some real bad sounding hens walk a big Tom away from me.......

Copperback

Original Primos limbhanger mouth yelper. Soft and subtle "wits" combined with 2 and 3 note clean front end yelps has fooled a truck load of wise Longbeards for me.

Ranman

I have a couple of slates that have been killers, one is a Lonnie Sneed hot hen, and the other from a local pastor (Follow the Call turkey calls). Last season I killed two gobs using a Shannon Kelly push pin. It will be in my pocket from now on.

Brad roberts poplar glass over glass. Always seems to strike one when my other calls haven't.
