In order of preference, a Friction callsuch as the "pot" type of calls: Slate, Glass, Aluminum, etc., then the mouth call, followed by the box.
I always start offwith either a "pot" call or a box, then finish the game with a mouth call.
I would have to tend to agree...I seem to lean toward the slate call most of the time and then as the bird gets closer, I switch to a mouth call. I always, always have a mouth call in. You never know when a gobbler might come around a corner!
