bghunter777 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Everyone has old faithful or maybe that new call you just bought. So what is it brand and type what call do you guys feel is the best out there? Personally I have never heard a call replicate a wild turkey better than The Cody World class slate. I am a fan of all the Cody friction calls but the World class Slate is simply amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorden Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I personally like the mouth calls by HS Strut. Ive never had mouth calls that Ive been able to use so easily and sound so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PotashRLS Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I highly recommend one of Bowhunter56's (Andy) calls. They are sound as good as they look. I have used my zebra wood/glass for two seasons now plus a lot of youth hunts and had good success. Pair the friction calls with some mouth calls and the birds really respond well. I like the mouth calls that A-Way Outdoors puts out. Their raspy tones are great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flintlock1776 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I am not sure if it matters as I don't believe there is just "one" best call. I hardly did any calling last Saturday and drooped a bird. On Friday they responded to anything I used for over 2 hours strutting in sight but not close enough for a shot. I actually had the Tom gobble before I saw him top the ridge I was on. EXTREME light calling, maybe 3 burst of 3 seconds each over a few minutes and I stopped.3 hen decoys and more silence and just waiting pulled my Tom in range. Sometimes the call works; sometimes it does not. That's why it is called hunting and not shopping I suppose! Most calls today are very forgiving. I've called plenty Toms in and shot them suing a call but I am no pro caller by any means. Hunting pressure may have more to do with it. If too many folks are in the woods just yaking away I bet that will shut them down and make them wary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherBadger Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The best call for me is whichever one pulls in that particular Gobbler i am calling to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expresshost Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The best call for me is whichever one pulls in that particular Gobbler i am calling to. I agree with brotherbager, but have found custom calls much better than any others. I like Bristol game calls at The Turkey Call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I personally like the mouth calls by HS Strut. Ive never had mouth calls that Ive been able to use so easily and sound so good. I agree. Just about the only mouth calls I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I started using Perfection Turkey diaphragm calls in the late eighties. I've used just about every other production diaphragm out there and one thing in particular stands out about Perfection's Diaphragms. They are absolutely consistent and if you buy three of the same model they WILL sound the same! I've found out the hard way that simply isn't true with most of the production calls out there. I know I can buy a regular Red every single year and it will sound the same and as good as the one I used last season. One less thing to worry about. I made my own pot call but I wanted one that was completely impervious to heat, moisture and humidity. Humidity especially will deaden the sound of many wood backed pot calls. Most plastic backed calls don't loose anything from humidity but heat does affect them. Around here that happens often enough that it's futile to use those calls on those days. Perfection's Screamin' Demon II pot call is a glass top with a Corian (CounterTop material) base. It's capable of being very loud and very soft. It's a really great call.

paul23 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 I like the HS Strut mouth calls and aluminum type friction calls for loud aggresive calling. Ive noticed my calling vs my buddies softer style calling gets them gobbling and commited. We would never known many of the birds were ever in the area with their soft calling.

dartonman Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I use Andy's calls, but I lost one of my favorite calls years ago was made by Penn Woods, and I really need to order a new one...it made the most awesome purrs with one hand, it was called a "lucky clucker"...man, did I fool old gobblers with that thing...al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 The "best" turkey call, IMHO, is the one that happens to be working at the moment. The market is flooded with super sounding calls......both custom and production. Take your pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
