Favorite Calls?

I have a few but may have some new ones this year.

1. WH red wasp (although may move it down to 3 or 4 this year)
2. David Holloran Crystal Mistriss
3. Simmons Custom Call Tube call.

However I have a few from Final Step Calls that may take over #1 this year.

Also suprisingly i have an old Knight and Hale Ol Yeller i just cant seem to get rid of lol. its the only "production" call i have anymore but it just seems to work year after year.
 
i bought a primos "troy Ruiz" signature mouth call first year they came out with their signature calls, since then i have gone thru 2 a season, he know longer works for primos so i buy them as often as i can find them
 
Darrin Dawkins Aluminum friction
Cane creek tuff man diaphragm

I carry a couple others, but have never bought into the theory that birds really care. He is either receptive or he is not.

Use a call you are comfortable with, use it in a way which makes you confident, and most importantly be smart and spend more time perfecting your setups, knowledge of the terrain, and how to move on birds.

Way too many folks worry about what call they carry, or how good/bad they call, rather than the importantance of everything else in regards to turkey hunting.
 
I disagree ....woodsmanship is 40% of the battle...knowledge of turkeys behaviors and vocalizations they are making 30%(basically knowing how to take their temperature and when they aren't ready)....25% having good calls you can rely on to sound the same each time you go to use them!!! Most store bought mouth calls will change tone and pitch after they have been used a while...and the last 5% is being where turkeys are or want to be !! More importantly though none matters a hill of beans if you can't sit still while that bird is approaching :-) !!

All mouth calls will stretch and change tones over time... it is the nature of latex... doesn't matter where you buy it.

As for a call, I won't leave home without a slate and a couple of mouth calls.
 
Woodhaven Red Wasp would be my number 1. Have a few Cane Creek diaphragms I like too. Going to try out several other brands this year as well. Mouth calls are all I use, just what Im comfortable with.
 
homemade tube call is always in my shirt pocket during turkey season. I practiced with a wing bone last spring for a little while but lost it in the woods. I will be using a wing bone again this spring. Backup calls would be slate and mouth call but I much prefer the tube call because it is the first call I learned to make and use, and I am most comfortable with it and also it's more rewarding calling a bird with a call that you made. mouth call of choice is a HS. raspy old hen, but I also have a woodhaven red wasp, it's a bit too raspy for my liking, but sounds good
 
Your incorrect sir.... Latex will not stretch in a mouth call properly pressed it will detoriate if not properly taken care of. But is should not stretch if properly built and cared for I have one mouth call built three years ago that still looks the same latex wise and sounds the same it has new tape as it had loosened but the latex is still good
 
A 2ft long stick about as big around as my thumb for scratching in the leaves...best part about this particular call is it's one less thing to pack in my vest. I can generally find one just about anywhere I sit down. :)
