Mouth calls: Knight & Hale Split V. I can cluck, purr, and yelp really well on this baby.
Box calls: HS Strut Lil' Strut " Natural" , Custom-made box call by my friend Howard House; cherry box with cherry paddle. Both of these produce a nice, high, raspy call. Howard also makes a very small rectangular box call with a very small striker that sounds like nothing I' ve ever heard before. Drives the toms freakin' crazy in close range.
Slate calls: Mad Calls " Aluminator" with carbon and wood strikers. Just a nice sounding call.
Locator calls: Screamin' peacock, Coyote howler, and Pileated Woodpecker.
I' ve got a couple of custom boxes I like, plus the old Fool Proof.
Then there' s the Primos True Double diaphragm.
Of course I can' t forget my Cane Creek glass call...or the aluminum.
If forced to pick one, I' d probably go with my Pine Ridge box. High and raspy on one side and low and sweet on the other. Or maybe the glass....[8D]
Blodgett Tough Country slate over glass. Ear-piercing loud and sexy-talking soft all in the same call.
Close Calls Double Trouble slate over slate in turned red cedar pot. Simple, beautiful and great sounding.

RE: Just For Fun. Favorite Turkey Calls.
I' ve called a bunch of turkeys in with a relatively cheap H.S. Strut Black Magic Aluminum call which was a favorite call for several years. But last spring, I bought a www.harrisongamecalls.homestead.com Osage Orange slate over glass and a www.americanfriction.com Cut-N-Paddle box call. These two calls quickly became my favorites after calling in 2 nice gobblers with them last spring. I would highly recommend any of these calls if you are looking for calls that will work.
