the best calls for a beginning turkey hunter are box calls, slate calls, or push button style calls. remember, practice makes perfect, so you must put inlots of practice with all types of calls to be a proficient turkey caller. personally i prefer mouth calls for their versatility, realistic sound, and the fact that they can be used with no movement whatsoever. but you shouldbegin withthe calls i mentioned earlier before trying a mouth call, because mouth callsrequirehours ofpractice and alot ofpatience to master. i hope this post answers some of your questions.
