Of course striker pressure is imortant to sound, kee kee for instance need heavy pressure, tree yelps light w pot held off your body, hand making a sound chamber to make it nasally. Anomdised aluminum can be make to sound like a more mature hen with lighter pressure n yelps are generally best when the striker "floats" in your hand without squeezing it. Different strikers make a big difference too. Check out Harold fowlers website. Tons of strikers that will all sound dif. Two great ones are tulipwood n Snakewood
-
For strikers, dymondwood, Snakewood, Kingwood, Wenge and tulipwood. Look up Harold fowlers website, he wells then for a fair price

I agree w the probability the draw weight is gotta be low. Oughta try that jumping around stuff in the woods n see if any deer walk up to him. Great shooting but not my style
-
Halloran is a talented maker. His Crystal mistress is one of the best calls ever made imo
-
Glass is the most realistic sounding surface. Good glass anyway. Crystal is good if you like higher notes. Aluminum is a straight up killer n prob my favorite surface. Again good custom calls. Well made slates have a mellowed tone but great ones have life in em, they pop like other surfaces. Most custom calls cost around the same or less than many factory calls. They sound much much better. Go visit a maker n listen to calls, be pretty sure you'll change your minds guys
-
Sorry Jim Scafer is oak ridge custom calls. He has a website
-
Bill if you like soft talk a purr pot by Schafer who is maybe 45-50 mins from Stewart would work perfectly for you. Trough calls as well. McGraw also makes great purr pots. Schafer though you can drive to n actually hear the calls. Ask to hear his tear drop. He'll run plenty of calls for anyone

No oil guys. Get some graphite powder. It's odorless, won't get dirt to stick to it n can't freeze
-
You clean/store mouth calls in a freezer or refrigerator after washing in non alcohol mouth wash. I'm seeing pic n posts about factory calls. Get some custom calls they run easier n sound worlds better.

You can't call a bird in w shock calls
-
Depends on the type surface. Slate is typically scotch brite, glass or Crystal either sand paper or drywall screen, occasionally a sanding stone, aluminum can be simple an alcohol swab or emery cloth, depends on type aluminum, the maker of the call should tell you what's reconmended.

G man is right, great way to roost birds., they can also be used running n gunning., the idea is the birds don't start towards you when you hit em w say an owl, crow, or goose call. After they shock gobble you can set up a bit closer before you try n work em. Roosting is a terrific method n if you're new learn that n be in the game every morning

One of the best inventions ever
-
I agree highest percentage is right off roost
-
Gonna tell you right now, an undisturbed bird may act a certain way often. Let the bird know he's being hunted n they get harder to kill, where I live there are some pretty fair turkey nuts. Dumb ones get killed quick so you gotta be sneaky or a trespasser to have a good chance. Kill the bird n it won't have any memory.

The penis bone thing is pretty popular. Most guys save em for some reason. Guys stir coffee w em, have em dipped in gold, etc. Bears, coons, foxes, coyotes have em. Used to have customers save em all.

There aren't any cons unless you consider time spent doing it a problem. You can as stated fine tune a gun and make it shoot fantastic. Best part is once you figure it all out you just make more. Same everything so nothing changes. One thing I'd say though is every serious reloader I know uses a RCBS, they're sturdy, easy to get parts for and their customer service is gotta be one of the best. Good luck w whatever you decide
-
I've been on this site once before and got off because of the same reason. Lack of respect n the desire of some to argue every point. Forums are good for discussion, sharing ideas n differences in opinion or experience but attacking another is childish. Didn't know where else to write this so I put it here. We're all brothers n sisters, no need to name call or harass

I'd say the best knife for deer sized game is a 102 woodsman. Knife is perfect

You don't look for anything, you listen for birds. After you locate em you keep tabs on them til you roost em n shoot em. No need let them know you're coming by walking all over.

Lots of hooter pics. Check this out. Harrison Snakewood. Beautiful call

Pochuck is small n seems often crowded. I live minutes from there n don't hunt it
