Slate,box, or mouth call? I prefer the mouth(1) and box(2) bc I have had more practice and feel more comfortable. I have a slate call(3) I have been practicing on and am going to try it more this year. 2 part question: If you prefer mouth calls what type of calls do you use?

Box call is easy as heck but I probably won't bring it on saturday morning. I have used a tube call longer than anything else and am getting pretty good with a mouth call too so those will be with me as well as a slate call. The tube calls are homemade and the mouth call is a HS Strut Raspy Old Hen. The slate is a HS ring zone something or other with a carbon striker. Also whittled an old hickory drumstick to make a striker that sounds good.

Tube calls seem to cluck and putt best in my opinion but I have to hear some more experienced guys tell me that before I go by it as a rule.

yeah trevor i used my hat for years until i got tired of the dang metal clip on the back hitting my leg...just took off a wing from a bird i killed and duck tapped the end to use as a handle. just stays in my vest now...great tool to use from time to time.

No only time I have used hat is early morning to mimic a flydown...... Now I do have a buddy who will rub the wingnon a tree just as if u were tickling deer antlers against a tree. Hope this helps.
slate and box, then mouth for close range work.
i will use them any time of the day. If a bird is hunt out of sight i will use it....same concept as leaves.
if you watch a flock they are flapping their wings all the time so it is a common sound to a bird.
