Turkey calls

[Dean Romig]

I like a mouth diaphragm and a box call. For me, it is too easy to make a mistake with a slate or glass call. Just a minor tap of your stick on the surface (works like a megaphone) will send nearby turkeys to distant cover. Just my HO... others will have different experience.

Phil, I have been using Cane Creek Calls by Doug Adkin in Kentucky for the past 15 years. His Pro Custom Slate, friction call, is one call I rely on. The web site is canecreekcalls.com. Doug will run a call for you over the phone so you can hear its sound or he will spend as much time as you need to figure out what you are wanting in a call.
I also use some custom calls made by Tim Sanford in Florida. Rutnstrutgamecalls.com is his web site. He also will spend as much time as needed to make your call like you want. His calls have also been my go to calls for the past 15 plus years of turkey hunting.
