Spur I'm curious why you don't like HS calls. Do they not fit your mouth well or your style of calling or do you think they are junk. For the money I think they (mainly raspy old hen) are well worth the 5 bucks.
Thanks for all the great advice. Im going to have to try several and practice until I find what I like.

I don't remember specifically what it was about any specific brand that I didn't like. Some of them didn't have enough rasp ever, some sounded different calling at a high volume than they did calling soft. I never chose a call or any other piece of equipment based off of reviews or what anyone else thought. I've heard alot of hens from spending so much time in the woods, both in the spring and fall. When I came across a call that, to me, sounded more like a hen than the other calls, I stuck with it. The turkeys were the only judges that mattered. And apparently the gobblers think the triple frame sounds somewhat like a hen. Last year, of the 3 I killed, the mouth call was the only call I used on 2 of them. So I haven't seen any need to change.

I tried one years ago
and it went in the trash
did not like it at all
JMO if you are trying to get started
go with a single or double reed
until you get the hang of it

Hang on jack, let's back up
!I can't keep my calls in my mouth for long periods of time for this reason. When not calling I slide the call to the front and clench it with my teeth with mouth slightly open to keep it from getting too wet.
So, if the calls you tried sounded pretty good while fairly dry, stay with them and try that.
never heard of one getting "too wet", heck ill have one in my mouth for 2-3 hours just tucked up on my cheek when not being used and never had an issue. Actually for me the more wet it got the better it got.

They just didn't fit my mouth right. The material Woodhaven uses outside the frame is softer than most. It just conforms to the shape of the roof of my mouth. Nothing wrong with HS calls. They just don't work for me. That's the point I was making. Everyone has to find what fits them. I wish I liked some $5 calls. Woodhavens are up to $13!

I think my Woodhaven red wasp was 9.99 but I bought it a year ago and can't remember.Spurhunter said:

I'll second this. I use diaphragms more than anything else. I have some Woodhaven's and some other custom call makers calls, but for something easy to get, cheap, and that sounds good its hard to beat imo. Another tried and true one is the Quaker boy old boss hen. Those are real good for beginners because they are both double reed calls and are easy to blow and learn on. Both have splits on each side and give just the right amount of rasp without being over the top. You can also trim a call to get a better fit, that might help you as well. Good luck.catman529 said:
