I have multiples from both these guys and you just aren't gonna beat their quality tone, craftsmanship and customer service.
How do these types of calls hold up in the weather? I assume moisture affects the friction media, but it must also mess with the wood if its not treated with some some or resin right? Of the different kinds any suggestions for ones that sound good and wont be damaged by a little rain? With all the fancy woods they seem more like fine furniture than functional. Maybe thats just the nature of the call.
Edit: I ended up going with Hanks Calls; i picked up both the osage slate and the signature zebrawood glass over aluminum. Also, I went to midway and picked up a carlson turkey choke and a woodhaven mouth call. Just need to pick up a few decoys and practice those calls and I should be all set. Thanks for the help everyone!
