RE: your favorite turkey call?
I'd go with a friction call or two first, they are pretty easy to learn. I have turkey hunted for years and still struggle with mouth calls, some people take to them pretty naturally so you shouldn't completely write them off. If I was only allowed one call I would pick a slate hands down. Although they make slate type calls with all kinds of different surfaces i still think a plain slate surfaced call, in a wood pot and wooden striker is the sweetest sounding call in the woods. I really like Primos calls, Knight & Hale, Quaker Boy and HS Strut are all pretty good too. Good luck!
