Was just curious what everyone's go to turkey killing machine call is in each different surface.

If you had to just pick 1 call to run for a whole season in each surface (Slate, Glass, Aluminum, Crystal, etc) what would they be?

Relatively new to pot calls and different surfaces and wanted to hear some answers so hopefully it can help me pick a well rounded pot call arsenal for the upcoming season.

Also if anyone wants to answer a bonus question, whats your go to call when you hear turkeys far away, or close up and in sight, etc.

that is a very difficult one....
Slate: I Like my Anderson Turkey Calls slate or my Lonnie Sneed Hot hen
Aluminum: Warbird Preacherman Aluminum
Glass: Lonnie Sneed outlaw hen
Ceramic: no clue
Crystal: Reynolds Carolina Assassin
Copper: not a fan of copper in general
Stainless: My Sinclair stainless is "nasty" definitely be in the vest this year.
Combo: Just got an enticer triple sidekick which plays on three different surfaces, Glass on the top, flip it over and you get aluminum, and then there is a corian disk cut out of the aluminum side for the real soft talk. This call at $45 is definitely a bargain and will definitely be in the vest as all three surfaces are bad to the bone.


Shoot em in the pecker.... you know the beak

My go to is the Crystal Mistress. And when they get in real close i tend to use my mouth call more to limit movement.
More calls on the way so subject to change.
