Let's Talk "Turkey" A Minute... What call and by who do you like best?
For me it goes like this:
Mouth Calls = "Woodhaven Custom Calls" and more specifically I like the "Jim Pollard" style, the "Classic V3", and the "Doug Crabtree" style... Very easy to blow, stretched just right, and long lasting...
Crystal Pot= Again, "Woodhaven" with their "Cherry Classic Crystal" and anything put out by New Moon Game Calls, both have their place in my vest and both sound a good bit different but both talk turkey with the best of them.
Glass Pot= I find it mighty hard to beat a Cody Woodsman for quality and price...
Slate Pot= New Moon Game Calls and Woodhaven for this area for sure; depending on the striker used both can be made to sound throaty or high pitched.
Short Box= pick your high dollar poison... Dad's calls are a tough number but it takes a true master of the wood to really make a box sound right; the master is dead - long live the Gobbler but Dad's is a short box.
Long box= talk about pick your poison, rape your wallet; the long box division can eat your back pocket up real fast. American Friction (Bruce Worth) makes a good call for a decent price, yet it'll still set you back a C-Note...
Push Pin= Don't own or use them, never heard one that sounded like anything other than a sick goose.
Scratch Box = Close Calls Butternut scratch box is pretty dang good. I really like it...
Tube Calls = Harry Burkett makes a great tube call; goes by Lavender Mtn.
Wingbone/Trumpet = Can be EXTREMELY pricey but to me it's a winner when using New Moon Game Calls (Alan Sentell) or a Gibson.
----------------------------
I'm not a call collector, just a serious turkey hunter!
