A $3 mouth call will call a gobbler in just as easy as a $10 mouth call. The turkey can't tell if it's a low end or high end call. It's knowing how to call,when to call and how much to call, and that comes with experience. Some of the higher end calls may sound better to our ears, but to a turkey it really doesn't matter that much.I like the Diamond Cutter and Piggyback Stacked True Triple by Primos. I have many others, but those are my two most used. I'm probably as guilty as most of you by buying calls just to see how they sound, whether I use them or not. If I like how it sounds, I'll keep it, if not, I'll probably throw it away.
I totally agree with that. I guess the reason I asked is because I'm thinkin about entering a state contest next week and wonder how I'll stack up against the guys with the woodhavens and higher end calls. Not expecting anything from this contest but to gain experience in competition calling as it would be my first, but I'd love to get really serious with it. But I do think I can stack up well against a few of the guys, even with my HS calls. I guess my question now is, if I were to buy a woodhaven or other higher quality call, strictly for competition calling, will I be able to tell a significant difference in sound quality from my HS calls? And would these higher end calls sound better to a judge? But like swampcollie said, they aren't much more money, just a few bucks. I'll just buy a couple and try em out, I just kinda want to stay faithful to my HS calls I guess.
