Go to call

[rotorooter23]

Just curious as to what everyone's go to call is... There is always that one call in my arsenal that intend to lean on. If have to say mine is the zink wicked sister mouth call. I feel I have had more luck than any other mouth, slate, box, or even push button call.

My homemade mouth calls....always my go to

 

[Dr. Honk]

HS Strut split V 2,3 or 4 reeds

I carry a box call, scratch box, glass, slate, crystal, and aluminum all of them have taken birds!! But I tend to use the box the most!!

[TeeBugg]

Toss up between my flextone run/gun glass, and a primos many beards mouth call. This year it seems my go to pot call is my purpleheart pot, glass over purpleheart soundboard...sounds amazing

Hooks "Executioner II" diaphragm call.

I carry my dads old Lynch's box call and last yr I bought knight & hales white liar. I suck at mouth calls.

[Grizz1219]

Slate call by Enticer...

[turkeyfeathers]

Lynch's 101 Foolproof boxcall I got as a gift 35 years ago. As I call real soft I only use it when it's windy or raining hard. 

 

HS Strut slate I've had for a number of years and last year I got a very nice custom slate from a guy on Old Gobbler forum

Cant go wrong with primos mouth calls.  Ready to go right out of the case.

Nothing fancy for me. My go to call would be my Primos Box Cutter.

I picked up a Quaker Boy Triple Threat pot call that has already proved it can call in the gobblers this spring.

 

I used to have a neighbor who had a "wild turkey" as a pet in a cage in his backyard. Every morning his tom would 'gobble up' a flock of birds across the field from my property to his,lol

I think they were gathering to plan his escape. Can't beat the real thing!

[ghug92]

On rainy days like tomorrow, I always stick with my aluminum pot call from primos and a few mouth calls. Can't beat the loud, realistic sounds from the primos alumnislate and the mouth calls to draw em in! Good luck to you all

I'd have to say that my favorite call is my Halloran Twisted Sister crystal.

Diggin' my new Matt Van Cise touch series diaphragm from MAD calls.

You guys who run mouth calls should try some of the smaller custom call companies. I have found that not only are they cheaper, but they are much more consistent. Hooks, XT, Gooserbat, and Houndstooth are a few I have had good luck with. The only big name that I think come close in consistency is Woodhaven, but they're around $12 a piece.

[G-Man]

An old yeller ceramic pot, and maple/non slip dipped striker.

Not sure if this 43 second clip of audio footage will run smoothly for you guys.(it's kinda choppy on my crappy computer)

The ol' "Box Cutter" had 8 jakes fired up this morning for almost 2hrs!

I got on them again at another setup and couldn't shut them up untill noon.

I try and stay the same route you are. I love any custom mouth call made here in NY. The mouth calls like Primos, Quaker Boy, etc. are mostly mass produced and tend to be not nearly the quality the custom mouth calls produce. I tried beard bustin game calls this year and absolutely love them. They are made right here in NY.

Haha, thats awesome!

[burmjohn]

Was that a slate call?

[wooly]

Nope, it's a box call.

It practically plays itself that's why I like it so much.

I put some Lohmans "Box Call Magic" solution on it once a year, and that keeps it singing in the rain as well.

I suck at mouth calls.

It's mainly about trimming and bending a diaphram to fit the roof of your mouth. Then you can easily refine the sounds you make. If it doesn't fit your mouth well, the call's quality/$$ won't help.

[dbHunterNY]

Can't say I've got just one everything in my vest has earned the right to stay there.

Most are locally made NY calls. Only other call is a Primos will Primos diaphragm. Easiest blowing and controllable mouth call I've used, with three reeds for rasp to boot. Sweet cedar box. Sweet cedar diaphragm. Mountain hollow double sided slate/glass call. And some others. All from NY.

Most  of the time, mouth calls. I like the higher pitched, not as raspy calls. But thats what  works for me. I have had real good luck with slates and box calls too………Who knows?????? I can't figure the damn things out…LOL!
