Guest HoppeMan Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 What manufacturer, or who, made your favorite turkey call that you take out with you into the woods? It can be any type of call. My favorite call is a three-way tie, a custom slate call made by Andy Smith, The Freak made by Primos, and the Limbhanger, a diaphrgm mouth call also made by Primos. Yours? Take care and God bless, Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Both of my favorites are made by Primos- The Freak and The Power Crystal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I have a Lee's Champion Gobble Box with Ben Lee's autograph on the bottom. When nothing else works, that is the call I bring out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 All of my calls are primos with the exception of one,the first call I ever bought was a lohman crystal thunder dome and it sounds as good as it did new,about 8 years ago.

okiedog Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Andy Smith (bowhnter56) right here on the forums. He makes the best sounding pot calls I have got my hands on. They look pretty sweet on top of that. Plus.... I just happened to get a new one in the mail today from him:cool::D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M00N Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 I use a Primos Ol' Glory with a Primos Lucky Striker and a Primos Sonic Dome Double Turkey. They are all I take in the woods with me for calls. Of course I take a spare of each in my backpack just incase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Favorites change from day to day with me during the season and sometimes during the day too. It depends on which one the gobblers like best that day that responds to me. If a gobbler walks away from my calling and I have to relocate to get around in front of him, I almost always switch calls (just strikers sometimes) so it will sound like a different hen. My favorite type of call is a slate call. The slate that ended the spring season as my favorite last year was my Strut10 custom special with dual strikers. It tricked the 3rd Eastern bird that limited me out in MS last year. It was also the biggest and oldest gobbler I killed last year in MS too. It also did a great tricking a couple of Rios in Texas too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tecumseh Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Primos sonic dome and power crystal slate call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 My favorite call is a very old Lynch box call that was my dad's. Gobblers just cant resist the sweet hen sounds that come out of it. My next call is also a box call made by Toby Benoit in Florida. I too just received a pot call custom made by Alex Williams. Man it sounds real good. My mouth calls are either Penns Woods or Quaker Boy calls. Mouth calls are not my favorite as I get hit with sever dry mouth when a gobbler is in sight.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I like to mix them up and try a little of everything. Want to get more into custom calls in the future too! Here is what I have so far, lets just say the vest is getting a bit heavier every spring! LOL!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spurcollector Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 My favorite call of all is a Cane Creek Custom Slate. I recommend it to everyone. They're not expensive and you can get it from Midwest Turkey Call Supply. I haven't heard a better slate. My second favorite is made by Russell Lynch right here in South Carolina. It's a Bud and Betty's Glass. It has won awards from the NWTF. I have one autographed by Russell and one of his owl calls autographed also. You can get Bud and Betty's calls from Midwest also. Anyone who tries these calls will not be disappointed. I have been through a bunch and these have stuck and will always be in my vest. I have the Primos Lucky Seven striker and the Woodhaven belltip birch. They run good on these calls, but I have quite a few more also. When I take a friend turkey hunting with me, I'll see them a week or two later and they will have bought one of these calls. They are really great calls at a really great price.

VermontHunter Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 My most absolute prised possession call would have to be this on that Andy Smith (bowhnter56) right here on the forums made for a very important auction to benefit David Ashburns Family. This call was was sent to me by suprise mail by yet another special friend Al (Rhino) tho this call will never see the woods I hope the maker doesn't take this has a disappointment because this is a truly honored call that is now on permanent display in my living room .. Maybe someday I'll get one of Andy's calls and hit the VT woods with it, as they were meant to do .. Here's the honored prize in it's GLORY .. I have one other call that is very prized to me and was made by yet another Master Call Maker right here on the forums Alex30808, justr wish he visited here more often .. Guess Im going to have to try and get one of Don's master pieces to complete everything I have now and echo the VT timber for a gobbler ..

Guest spurcollector Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Those Andy Smith calls are some great looking pieces.

Guest swmnk9training Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Those calls Andy makes look great. I'm looking at purchasing a call or two for this Spring turkey hunt. I might have to look into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
