Just out of curiosity, I was wondering what your favorite mouth, box, and slate/glass calls are? How about locators?

I like the glass/slate call for getting their attention and the diaphragm for getting them to stick their head up.

Sometimes I use the diaphragm to get them really excited if they' re being a little tough. Try cutting off their gobbles (before they finish gobbling) -it usually makes them double and triple gobble---keep doing it ' til you think your head is gonna blow up. When they go quiet --doesn' t work every time (nothing does) but when it does --GET READY!![>:]

Thanks TomC... I guess I was thinking more about specific calls and brand names though. In one of the latest " Turkey Call" magazines they had an article about which calls the pro' s use. It was pretty interesting to see the variety of slates, diaghrams, etc..

My favorite is a Cody glass and Mountain Screamer diaphram calls.

i like to use either my lohman box call or old yeller slait call for long distance and then the knight and hale lonesome hen push button for when the birds are closer. im sure id like to you mouth calls but im not real good at using them but im really going to practice with one this summer and get good with one for next season!

Now you got me started.

I probably use diaphragm calls the most because I practice a good bit and can do a fair immitation of most hen sounds without having to move or " put something down" because he' s gettin' close. I have the full array of friction calls too including too many striker induced calls. My best sounding one is undoubtedly the super titianium one manufactured by M.A.D. It is outstanding.
