RE: Turkey Slates !?!?
 

I personally use both, and have had success with both, depends on the birds really. I always got my slate first, just habit I guess, and I really manipulate it, where as with the glass, I just have slightly less confidence as I make a few errant noises occassionaly.

Both, different sounds for different times. My glass call is much louder, and higher pitched than my slate.

If your going to get into turkey hunting a lot, I can't recommend learning a mouth call enough. So versitile. Control of pitch and sound much easier, as well as making any sound you want without moving as much.

I have several different types of slates with different surfaces. But I still think their is nothing sweeter then a plain old slate with a wood pot and stricker for getting those birds

I use TOOD, no need for calls:D

Both;)

RE: Turkey Slates !?!?
 

Yes, the glass will be higher pitched and holds up in wet weather, slate is almost useless when it gets damp, but i like the sound of the slates. I like the primos freak and knight and halesole yeller.

Glass and Aluminum!!

RE: Turkey Slates !?!?
 

I've got a river valley glass that's pretty sweet.

But....the Cody slate is one awesome call....and I love runnin it. Between that and the mouth calls I got from HB (Hunsucker).....I won't use too many others, this year.

good luck!

How are you liking them, i thought about tryin them out as well. My Buddy Dave at Lost River Game Calls actually made these for HB I believe.

Long Range- Glass

Shorter Range- Slate

A buddy of mine bought me a custom glass call last year and it was the undoing of a couple of Gobblers;)

RE: Turkey Slates !?!?
 

Exactly. I'll use my glass call or box call mostly when it's windy out, like today. Something that'll cut through the noise. Then when I'm in position I'll grab my slate call and sweet talk 'em. Nothing like the purrs and yelps of a slate call to drag that ol' tom in. When I'm pretty confident that the ol' tom is about to "see the light" I'll work him with the mouth call that's been in my mouth since I left the truck that morning.

Hey, Droptine, if you haven't been to the Harrisburg show yet there are more turkey calls there than you could work in a lifetime. I'll be going again this Saturday. Gotta get more turkey calls!

RE: Turkey Slates !?!?
 

I carry the full quiver... glass, slate, aluminum and crystal.

What I use depends on the weather mostly... as well as the birds.

I tend to prefer glass myself.... but above all I prefer a "20# victory walk" back to the truck :D

Yeah, I think we're leaving around 0730'ish. About the only thing I'm interested in is the turkey calls and the Skoal Girls![:-]LOL! I gotta get some last minute turkey stuff. Belt, boots..etc...

RE: Turkey Slates !?!?
 

I use'em both. One of my favorites is a discontinued (aren't they always) model by QB called the Finisher. It's a small slate that's works great for me for tree calls & purrs.
