Same as Adrian here!!I only use the decoys thru about the first week and then not very often!!

FEATHER FLEX HERE TOO, AS FOR BOX CALLS , I USE THE LYNCH WORLD CHAMPION, LOHMAN, AND I REALLY LIKE MY WATERPROOF WIZARD FROM PENNS WOODS, IT IS COMPLETELY WATERPROOF AND DOESN'T NEED CHALKING ALL YA BY THE WAY SOUNDS REALLY GOOD TOO.

I like Penns Woods Water Proof Wizard,
I Use Feather Flex Decoys (Very Rarely Use Decoys)
And I Use Many Calls, Depend what they prefure that day, Mostly My
Primos Lil'Hartbreaker But I think this year Its gona be a Lohman I got Really Nice

Ive been using a delta decoy. Easy to pack, and it worked for me... I have a couple of custom made box calls, not too thrilled with them. I'd like to find out what some of the best production calls are myself. I actually prefer slate type calls, I've had the most success with them.

I only carry one box call, I bought it a couple of years
ago from Albert Paul. Had some good luck with it, I
believe it's black walnut & cedar.

As far as dekes, I've got several of the light, fold-up
ones. I've had them for several years, but I believe
they're Flambeau & Feather-Flex. If I didn't just
hunt with a bow, I'm not sure if I'd use them very
often. Had some experiences with decoys and
gobblers that make you go hmmmmm......[&:]

im also new to turkey hunting...and i was just wondering how many decoys should i have??? 5, 3, 1??? and does anyone have a link or advice on how to use a mouth call or diaphram call??? i can make sounds come out whenever i want its just the dont sound right at all...

, in the past weeks we covered this mouth call starting. I'll see if I can find it and pin it to the top...BT

I used to not always use a decoy, then, for a time I used quite a few, at least two, usually three in a set, and sometimes even more. Now I use one or two, and always at least one, regardless of the time of the season, unless I get caught in a situation where there is no opportunity to set a decoy out, which has happened to me occasionally.

IMHO, even later in the season a tom needs to see what he thinks he's hearing or he'll "hang up" out of gunshot range more often than not. Admittedly, I don't hunt in a lot of heavily, heavily pressured areas, and I'll concede that, in those areas, a tom would probably run the other way if he saw a decoy in late season. In later season, though, I will use a fishing line and try to create some lifelike motion in my decoy.

I think the Sceery inflatables are just fine and I use mine often. I also like my Delta hen, my Carrylites (though they are big and cumbersome) and my passive jake. They all work, and I vary their use (mostly according to how I feel at the time, which is probably the wrong way to decide what to do) throughout the season and the areas I hunt.

As for box calls, I have a Quakerboy Grand Old Master that has been with me since day one, and will always and forever be my most favorite box call, though I also have a Primos Lil' Heartbreaker that I think is really sweet.
I also use slates, glass, frictionite, pushbuttons, fighting purrs and, mostly, diaphragms.

Box calls - Quaker boy and Lynch are both top notch calls.

As far as #'s for decoys....early in the season I normally carry two. As the season goes on and I start logging more miles, I normally carry just one.
