Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Does anyone have a call that is super special to them?

Does anyone have a certain call that they just feel more confident in or have had the best luck with? Mine is a willowridgecalls cherry pot with bronze glass over canarywood with a purpleheart striker. Whats yours?

Mine is a Slate by Cody. But now there might be a new constant in the running. Its from Fire and Iced calls. It sure sounds sweet and looks nice too.

I have a slate call that I made a few years ago using some Florida wild cherry. My turkey hunting partner passed away about a year ago and this was a call we often used while hunting together. R.I.P. Tim.

I only carry 3 calls in the woods with me(unlike JW!, he carries several), slate call "Old Yellar", a mouth call and I don't have a clue who it is made by, and my best closer is the first scratch box call I made.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Eric (Fire & Iced Calls) made me one - I'm going to try using it this year. Can't wait!!!!

I love the custom made calls. We have a friend who's made us several. Our favorite is slate over glass - zebra wood. This one helped us kill a big TOM (hubby's first turkey) last spring - The call sounds amazing! Cubby's Custom Calls "Talk Sexy"... I'm anxious to put Eric's call into action this spring! There's something about a custom made call that makes it special! Killing a big TOM w/ one.????... PRICELESS!!!!!

I guess for me it would have to be my Cody World Class I bought back in the early 90's...

Default Fav. Calls

I never go hunting without my H.S. Strut DD mouth call and their early 90's model glass call, killed all my Merriam's with them, I always bring others too but rarely use them.

I have a real nice glass call (Howard's Custom Calls) that works real nice. I also have a box call I got several years ago (Camp Calls). The maker, David Camp, passed away several years ago. I've struck quite a few birds with it.

The best call I always make sure I have with me is one that Harry Blodgett gave probably 10-12 years ago. It's slate over glass and sounds awesome. If I could only take one call in the woods with me that would be the one hands down.
