Ok I have tried to be a nice guy and not bother any of you super turkey killers but the seach mode doesn't seem to get me anywhere which of the so called water proof calls do you deem the best and is there a cheap way to water proof regular calls?
Thanks for the reply I am just starting to get enough turkeys around the farm to hunt I have a swamp behind the house and between that and the All the best rain my box call made some interesting sounds and finally just quit altogether I can't seem to intigrate(Sp) a mouth call with my false teeth there seems to be a conflict of usable space Ha!
Now, I haven"™t tried this personally, but my dad took an old, cheap box call and covered the thing with spray on polyurethane. Then he masked it off with tape and sprayed the striking surfaces with chalkboard spray paint.
It was as ugly as sin, but he took it into the bathroom, ran the tub on full blast and stuck it in the water for 10-20 seconds and that thing still ran. Not the best box call I"™ve ever heard, but certainly serviceable, especially soaking wet.
Again, I haven"™t tried it yet. And I personally wouldn"™t do it to a call I wasn"™t afraid to pitch afterward. But that said, I was impressed.
diaphragm calls do a pretty good job of putting up with water. lol.

For a glass call try River Valleys new Enigma. It can be used in the rain with the carbon striker. It alsocomes witha hickory striker and slate on the bottom.
Learn to run a diaphragm and your in Gods pocket....
Got a new midwest turkey call supply catalogue in today.They now have a box call waterproofing kit for about six bucks. Says it comes with enough to treat six calls.Havent tried it but there it is, didnt know this existed until today. Might try it on a old out of service box call.

Take your Teeth out to learn to use that Mouth Call.
The one thing I try to tell someone who is trying to learn how to use a mouth Call is not to Blow its a Huffing from the GUT it really don't take much wind at all to get a a sound from a Mouth Call.
For a slate call use a plexi glass striker. Plexi glass strikers work well in the rain whether your slate or glass is wet or not...
