Box calls vs. Scatch calls (advice)
Hello. I am new to turkey hunting. I have been doing a lot of homework reading various articles on how to scout/setup/call/etc, and would like everyone's advice on a fairly inexpensive call for a rookie turkey hunter.
I did read one article that recommended a high-pitched box call if you live in a traditionally windy landscape (which is where I'll be hunting, wind swept northern plains).
I was at Sportsman's the other day looking at calls, but there are so many in each category I didn't even know where to begin.
From what I've seen on other posts it appears that guys are carrying multiple calls for all purposes:
1 slate call
1 stryker
1 box call
2 mouth calls
1 owl hooter
1 crow call
My dilemma is that I want to ease my way into it. I can maybe budget for 2 of these. I am looking for inexpensive, and ease of use, and hopefully somewhat effective.
Any and all advice and specifics on brand/model would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
