What is your favorite call or calls for clucks, purrs and soft yelps?
I like the Friction Wood call or my Cody Woodsman slate with a Macassar Ebony striker.

If I'm using a pot call I prefer a slate for soft stuff but you can get pretty quiet on most of them. I think I can get pretty soft using HS Struts Split V III mouth call also and I like to use that when they get in close so I'm not moving.

For a friction call I like a scratch box or a Jet slate. A Bill Decker Wee Gripper works well too.
Mouth call is my Bacon.

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.

I use the SS Sweetheart mouth call for most of my soft talk or I use my SS laminated slate over glass W/ a kwila wood striker.

A 2.5 reed Ghost cut mouth call. If I am in the friction mood for soft yelping, it is a plexi striker on one of my purr pots.

I just lighten up with whatever pot I'm using.
No trees were hurt in the sending of this message, however a large number of electrons were highly inconvenienced.

Grand-dad's hand-made slate. He glued some small walnut pieces together with a very thin piece of slate on top. Worked for him ... works for me
!
I also use a small pot made by Jimmie Putz from Iowa ... We miss ya Jimmie. He's gone-on to a far better place now.

A Hot Hen Slate or the littler flat slate my Dad makes, guy on her call it a tree talker. Dad and I just call it a flat slate, for clucking, purring, and feeding calls. About any friction with less striker pressure works good.
