Green Slate Recommendation

[tha bugman]

Interested in getting a green slate.  Who would you recommend me checking out?

So many choices are going to come flooding in.....your best best is to listen to as many sound clips as you can find and base your choice on that.

It all depends on what you want in a call....each one will have subtle differences in tone, pitch and rasp.

And tone, pitch and rasp can also be manipulated with striker choices as well.

And.....its a question of do you need it now, for this season, or something that can wait.

Dustin Jones of Blackstone Custom Calls makes a mean green slate at a great price.

I have 5 and I will tell you , save your money and buy one. Brad Roberts in cedar. Outstanding call. Second would be Dustin Jones cherry followed by Lon Trice bulletwood.

I definitely think Blackstone makes great sounding calls. I would have bought one if they were available recently. So that is a good choice but it may be hard to get one this time of year...I have not personally tried a green slate but have tried other surfaces from him.

For this next part you got to throw on your sunglasses and waders..

I have three green slate calls from John Sinclair. Two Cocobolo and one walnut all over glass.. They all sound great and have exceeded my expectations. My cousin has a green slate over slate in cocobolo it sounds darn good. One thing I have learned buying somewhere around 10-15 turkey calls in the last two months is not only do you have to find what you want you have to find out how to buy them. Some companies are easier then others.

Also as a disclaimer I am just telling my experiences as a consumer and I gain nothing from this post other than the ability to share my experience.

Paul Hicks and Paul Durham make killer green slates.

MAC Calls in a Walnut or Cherry pot

[vt35mag]

I have or have had the Halloran, MAC cherry, MAC walnut, Blackstone walnut, Brad Roberts walnut, Brad Roberts cedar, and a Van Cise.
My vote is the Roberts cedar hands down. It WILL BE the first pot out of my vest on the May 1 opener.
