I personally use both, and have had success with both, depends on the birds really. I always got my slate first, just habit I guess, and I really manipulate it, where as with the glass, I just have slightly less confidence as I make a few errant noises occassionaly.

Both, different sounds for different times. My glass call is much louder, and higher pitched than my slate.

If your going to get into turkey hunting a lot, I can't recommend learning a mouth call enough. So versitile. Control of pitch and sound much easier, as well as making any sound you want without moving as much.

I have several different types of slates with different surfaces. But I still think their is nothing sweeter then a plain old slate with a wood pot and stricker for getting those birds

Yes, the glass will be higher pitched and holds up in wet weather, slate is almost useless when it gets damp, but i like the sound of the slates. I like the primos freak and knight and halesole yeller.

I've got a river valley glass that's pretty sweet.

But....the Cody slate is one awesome call....and I love runnin it. Between that and the mouth calls I got from HB (Hunsucker).....I won't use too many others, this year.

good luck!
