Are they a great call?...hell yeah...I own one...are they the best....absolutely not....there have been times while in the woods that gobblers have not responded to my Cody as they have to another call. That's one reason why I don't go into the woods with only one. Sometimes it's the River Valley Fall Harvest box, sometimes it's the Quaker Boy Mini Boat, sometimes it's the Cody Envy Slate, sometimes it's the River Valley Glass....sometime's it's the mouth call and sometime's it's the no name....never assume one is better than another.....most are effective, some can't produce sound but still bring them in......I'd never make such a broad statement as "this is the best call"....will they work, hell yeah...but they are never the best....sometimes they just don't work and it's time to try something different.

I agree 100% Rob !!In fact some days it doesn't matter what name is on the call,cause once inawhile ole gobbler just kicks your a$$!!Confidence dictates what we take to the field developed over positive results in the turkey woods,and obviously for drg Cody glass fits the bill!!Its a good reccomemdation but unless we've tried every call on the market how can we say its the best?I've always felt that a turkey call no matter what the name is only as good as the user and his ability in understanding the overall mechanics of the call!Sure some calls are made better than others but a well made call isn't going to reach its full potential until its in the hands of somebody who knows how to prepare and run it!And I've seen and heard to many times those cheap little 9 and 10 dollar surfaces sing some pretty sweet music in those hands that know how to work them!! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I understand what everyone is saying but maybe when someone says that this or that is the best call they are meaning that it sounds to them what a turkey sounds like or maybe they are refering to the quality of the call. I grew up no more than 5 miles from the home of Bill Zearing, the maker of Cody Calls and have been familier with them since about day one. And by far for the price they are some of the best made today. I think $35 for a custom call is a steal. I own a couple including the so called cheap Envy that Wal-Mart sells and I love them, to my ears they sound great. Now maybe one of those $100 custom made music grade slates may sound better, but for $35 you can't beat the quality. Hey maybe i'm a bit partial because Cody calls are from my old stomping grounds but still give em a try. They must be popular for a reason or they wouldn't be sold in national catalogs, and won as many awards as they have.

I had a cody mouth call and it was great. I called in a few birds with it, and then it fell out of my pocket and I lost it. <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

&quot;Hey ya'll, watch this&quot;

Here's something that i've learned,over the past few years i bought the following.
Cody II $35.00
Cody World Class $65.00
Cody Spec 1 $75.00
Roberts bros $40.00
Here's the thing,i can use the same striker on all 4 calls and they
sound the same,and whats even worse is that a friend of mine bought a
HS strut call ($15.00) i think it was the Black widow and it sounds just as good as any of my calls.

I'm confused about something...Did they degrade the Envy to make a cheap call for Walmart....I bought my Envy(wood pot) many years ago from Cody's booth at Harrisburg.. and then it was in upwards of $40.

I DO BELIEVE THAT THE CODY ENVY IS A CHEAPER QUALITY CALL THAN THE REST OF THE CALLS THAT THEY PRODUCE.

I bet &quot;Bear Bryant&quot; would have been a &quot;Turkey Hunting Warrior!&quot;

Rob,

I believe the Envy that's sold thru Wal-Mart is a single glass version. The original Envy has a wood sounding board under the slate or glass calling surface, just like a Spec I, while the Cody II and World Class have glass sounding boards.
