Strut10 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I'll go.................. Box........... I have so many. But the one that has watched more gobblers die than all the others combined is a Hally Caller Deluxe Box. Glass/slate/etc............ Is a walnut pot slate over glass that I made. I run a Dymondwood and/or flared mesquite striker on it Diaphragm............. A fellow named Gooserbat make a call named the Heckler. Freakin unbelievable for my style of calling !!! Other.............. Really don't use any calls in the "other" category, I guess Carry a crow call once in a long while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Admittedly I am not much of a turkey hunter, our farm is pretty small and the birds more often than not roost near our lines and head away as soon as they get off the roost. I have had my best luck calling with a lohman box call, think it is called a double thunder. Have 4 or 5 slates, cannot tell you the name of any of them, can usually get birds to respond, but not much luck getting them in. Somewhere I have some real old calls that belonged to my grandfather, know nothing about them, posted pics of them here a looooong time ago.

Ravin R10 man Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 My all time Favorite call is; COME AND GET IT, SUPPERS READY!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Rhodes call sounds good. Other two i cannot figure out anything about them or how to even run them. olt f6 on one of them, other has no identification at all. My aunt gave them to me probably 15 years ago, i asked here if anyone knew anything about them but like i said that was a little while back. My grandfather was mostly in west Virginia and west Pennsylvania with his coal mining, he has been gone about 40 years. I know these are at least 40+ years old. Crummy phone pic, no idea why the picture uploaded upside down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Favorite calls? Hummm...OK I'll think of them in order of preference. 1. Slate call - either my Madhatter slate call or my Strut10 slate call...toss up on who gets the nod 1st (use one or the other, or both more than anything else) 2. Diaphram - Woodhaven Red Wasp 3. Gobble call - Primos Gobbler (not sure if they still make the one I prefer) 4. Box Call - Preston Pittman signature call (rarely use it unless it's windy on Eastern birds but Merriam & Rio's like it more than anything else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Slate Call: Either my A&J Custom Slate call or Duel Blodgett Series call. Diaphragm: A have several but Mountain Hollow is one I use alot. Gobbler: Don't use Box Call: I have a Sweetwater Calls box call. Actually bought it from a local Amish store.

colorado bob Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) My favorite go to call for Merriams is the Quaker Boy ---"Grand Old Master" box call. I'll buy calls but it's the one I use every time. The Colorado gobblers love to gobble & it fires them up. Pot call-----I usually carry a slate but it's rarely sees an action. Diaphragm----Don't use one. They sound horrible when I try them. So, I guess I'm a 1 trick pony----Grand Old Master.
