The first TYPE of call or the first KIND of call?

The type of call has a 85% chance of being a Woodhaven.

The kind of call might be a pot style call or a mouth call. Or maybe even a locator call. Just depends on the circumstances.

Welcome to the forums by the way! Great bunch of folks here with VAST knowledge and experiences! Again, welcome.

start with a slate softly and then move to my mouth call. I will use several glass calls, a couple of box calls, and numerous mouth calls throughout the season.

I'll start out with a slate probably. No need to get my mouth call all soaked just yet. Once I've got a bird working I'll finish it (hopefully) with a mouthcall.

Mouth call. Every now and then I'll start out with a friction call, but my primary call is a mouth call.

My primary call for locating birds would be my mouth call. My primary call for making sweet talk when a bird is coming is my slate call.

My primary call is my mouth call. But I start out with soft calls from my slate. But once they hit the ground Im on it with my mouth call...
