I'd have a slate. That's just my favorite style call.

Tom doesn't want to admit it but his favorite call is a Gooserbat Double Bit.

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 couldn't handle it any longer today after finding out my wife drew what is our early season tag here in MN.  Already started lining up the local properties and sat down all weekend and got as many hunts as I could packed into April.  Have one end of March archery hunt in NE already taken care of and KS lined up.  I wish April was 30 days longer!

I like using a Sinclair 3.25'' titanium over glass mesquite pot down here in South Texas. I've traded a few hunts and had out of staters hunt with me and Johns calls always make it easy to decapitate rios less than 10yards every season.

Honestly I am intrigued by the red-dot idea, I'm just to tight to try it.

If I could only take one it'd be my Dad's Purple Heart over cedar. That call makes gobblers want to die and it can do everything you need to kill turkeys.

With that said, my hanks Osage goulds paired with a Lyman snakewood is probably coming out of my vest first thing opening morning this spring.
