How many and what is the best sounding wood?

jblackburn

Two pots, slate and glass.

Strikers: Hickory, persimmon, diamond wood, rosewood, rosewood with a carbon tip, walnut

I have more, but they don't always go with me.

As far as combos, 95% of the time I will grab my hickory and slate.  I just love that combo.

MY FIRST TRIP OUT THIS PAST WEEKEND I TOOK

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field

I take a copper/glass pot and a slate pot for softer calling. Strikers vary walnut, African Blackwood, locust, and cherry wood. Depends how they sound to me when the time comes.

I usualy cary two regular pots of some sort and a Bill's Wee Gripper that sounds like an ol' jet slate for some soft stuff.  I try not to take more than six strikers.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

magnoliagamecalls

3 to 5 calls (slate, glass, aluminum, ceramic, titanium)  at least 3 strikers (always a hickory, laminated, ?)

TauntoHawk

4 pots and 6-8 strikers

Purpleheart, Paduak, osage are the first three strikers out.

Two Slates, Four Strikers.  I do not always use them on the same hunt most times I save the one for those special occasions or rainy days.

How do you like the cherry crystal? Any specific striker work best with it?

eddie234

Cherry crystal sounds really good. One of the strikers i got was a yellow heart, it sounds really good.
