I dont think the price of a call has anything to do with how close the turkeys are coming in. Every call i use is somewhat cheaper, and they work JUST as good as those expensive ones. Dont think by any means the more expensive calls will help you more, its how you use them. I'll tell ya one of my favorite calls that really isnt too pricey, the Lohman Thunderdome....calls loud and soft and has the most realistic sounding yelp ive ever heard.
