Some good advice above. Dont limit yourself to one call. My vest has 20 pockets, and believe me, they all have their use. I carry at least 3 pot type calls, one or 2 box calls, and several mouth calls, plus locator calls (owl hooter, crow call, peacock call.) You never know what's going to get that longbeard fired up, and it might not be the one call you chose to get. My favorite calls to use are the pot type calls. A nice inexpensive production one is the Primos Power Crystal. Another good one easy for a beginner to use is Knight And Hales Ol' Yeller. Good luck this spring!
