What call to get?

[bluestreak9]

Well, I was given a gift certificate from a friend and I want to get a turkey call. What would you guys get? I can't make up my mind.

We really need more information, like how experienced are you? I'm guessing that since you don't know what call to get, your new to turkey hunting. The two easiest to use would be the box call and the push button. I would recommend the push button as a first call. The box call will give you more volume, but as a beginner, you shouldn't be worried about that.

I haven't had much luck with getting a push-button with good tone. I've tried a few, but just didn't like the sound. I picked up a box call years ago, knew nothing about calling, but soon figured out how to make good "hen sounds" on it. Took it out on opening morning after reading a caution about calling too much, knew where a gobbler had roosted the evening before, got concealed nearby and clucked a couple of times. The clucks brought an immediate gobble from a hundred yards off. I clucked again, and laid the call down. Within minutes he was coming right at my position and 40 yards away. The rest was easy! I still have that old box call, and even though I like others, too, it is always in my vest!
I'd have to say a box call for a beginner, and it isn't bad for an experienced hunter either!

most calls are very easy to use xcept mouth calls...i like to get several different types...slate,glass,alum.box,plunger...

[bluestreak9]

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. I have the basics. I'm just looking to treat myself to a nice call. I'm partial to slate calls.

[george tinkham]

the slate is my favorite too...

[M.Magis]

Well, if you have some experience, and like slate calls, I highly recommend the Ol Yeller call from Knight & Hale. With the right striker, it makes a great sound, and works in all weather conditions. Besides my mouth calls, it has become my "go to" call.

My two favorites are my MAD Aluminator and Quaker Boy Boss Hen. Both calls have worked very well for me.

I have a WoodWitch which was effective for me last yaer. It is a slate call.

This will be my first year hunting turkey and i am getting good with the box call very easy to learn

[BigBird]

Slates are one of my favorites that can be used during all weather conditions and can be played loud or soft depending on stricker. Cody Woodsman is a real nice slate also, depends on how much your want to spend and weather you want a massed or custom produced call.

You can also run around and say "Here turkey, turkey,,,,here turkey, turkey"..... :)

I seem to use my triple glass call the most , but love all my calls. Slate, box calls are great to use also. But try to choose a call that your comfortable with and can use at any time. Glass calls can get wet and still work great, that is the reason I use one. All weather call. Mouth calls make me gag, I try to not use them. I can use them but like to keep my lunch.;)
