hey bob, I' m not implying that HS strut or any other of the companies that mass produce calls aren' t any good. The first few birds I killed were with a HS Strut Split Vll. I' m just saying from the many of contests I' ve entered and all of the calls i' ve heard that blogett and cody( not his cheap ones at walmart) are the top 2 friction calls. Besides if a gobbler is hot all you have to do is fart to call him in. But for birds that are pressured the only way to kill em is to sound like the hens that are in your area and I haven' t heard any to sound as horrible as the egg. Ain' t no doubt it will kill turkeys. All i' m just saying I want the realist sounding call out there and its just not it.
