Although subject to making a mistake more so than with my slates/pot callsI go with a mouth call for one simple reason - I don't need to move to use it. Having said that, when I call for others I LOVE using a slate and a mouth call at the same time. It takes some practice but you can create a whole 'concert' when the opportunity arises. Sounding like a couple of different birds is sometimes just the trick to bring ole TOM in!

Good luck with your new calls, remember, practice, practice, practice! Whatever you are the most comfortable with is what you should go with, regardless of what anyone says.

Just my opinion, but turkey calling is a lot like fly tying............you don't need to sound like the pros to call in a bird (but it helps!) just like you don't have to have that PERFECT looking fly to catch Mr. Trout just as long as you cast in the right place and get a perfect drift.

Again, good luck and call em in this spring!
