2025 Season Most Productive Call

[Spring Creek Calls]

Most productive was my Inzer trumpet as it was involved in both kills and exclusively on the second.

I almost exclusively use a handful of rag-tag mouth calls that I make myself. They almost invariably get the job done for me and my general attitude is one of..."if they won't respond to my mouth calls, they probably aren't going to respond to anything."
 
However, twice this spring, I was getting no response with my mouth calls in an area I knew had gobblers close by. On one occasion, a buddy I was with that exclusively uses a box call got a group of gobblers going...and they came right in when I was getting nothing with my calls. 

On the second occasion, I switched to a slate-surface pot when I was not getting a response when I also knew there were gobblers nearby...and they immediately started responding...and I eventually got one of them. 

Being the "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" sort of guy, I will probably just stick with my mouth calls...but there MIGHT be times when I say to myself..."Maybe you should wise-up and try something different". ...Probably won't listen very often, though...

One I called in on a mouth call. One almost had in till a hen took him away was a mouth call. Numerous hens came in on a box and slate. Thats all folks!

About split even between a suction yelper, Jake yelps and gobbling on Tom Osmer tube call and Lightning Strike Alaskan yellow cedar longbox/ Billy Bush Begging Machine

Turkeys don't stand a chance with that lineup. Great set of calls.

Same as usual, diaphragm and a trumpet or a wingbone.

H.S. strut box "The natural"

SSCustom maple/butternut longbox, SSCustom scratcher, and my hen wingbone.

Mann cedar and poplar long box, Lonzo slate, Buster's glass and Mann poplar an walnut box

Based on the craws of a lot of birds I kill, regardless of state/location, the preferred call of the "hunters" on the neighboring properties must be the Moultrie Spin Cast. It's really getting infuriating.

I called one in for my cousin by using a Capri-Sun straw...no joke .

Those 2 longbox call makers can fit a bunch of turkeys into 1 call
