looking for some suggestions on turkey calls

[skinner2]

I am in need of some turkey calls and was looking for some suggestions . I would like to pick up a box call and at least 1 or maybe 2 slate calls . Anyone have a suggestion out there on some I would like to hear if you do

[gobblingghost]

Box calls I would look at Bob Harwell
Pot Calls I would go with Alex Williams
Both gentlemen are great and make a great call.

We have two call makers on here Alex and Bowhunter56 (Andy) and they have pictures of the calls they make here on the forum. I own 2 of Bowhunter56's calls one a slate and the other glass and they sound really good. These guys are well liked and both are great call makers.

My Dad just got one last year, Primos The Freak With Friction , I love that Call!!! Very Life Like Sounding!

IMHO........

The best production boxcall out there in the $20 range is the Hally Caller Deluxe Box. In the $40 range it's the Primos Heartbreaker. Custom boxes are everywhere. Some are junk. Most are good or better. The sky's the limit as far as $$ goes. You can put several hundred bucks in a custom right quick. Either run some customs or get good references.

Pot calls...........they vary so widely. Any of the Cody's are a sure bet for a production call. In a custom call, you need to either pick a bunch up & run them yourself (like at a sports expo or something). Or you need to take recommendations from folks you trust. Hopefully their ear will like the same sound as you. Most custom call-builders will cheerfully refund your money if you are not 110% satisfied with their work. (They're a proud bunch and stand by it. )

I DON'T OWN A BOX CALL, BUT AS FOR A POT CALL, I'D STRONGLY RECOMEND MAGNOLIA GAME CALLS. HIS CALLS ARE BEAUTIFULL, AND SOUND EVEN BETTER THAN THEY LOOK. www.MAGNOLIAGAMECALLS.COM TELL 'EM BIG COUNTRY SENT YA.

Thanks for the kind words yall...and 10 is right...as custom call makers...we do stand behind all of our work...We want you to be satisfied....If your not...then we're not...

First question I have is how much experience do you have with slate and box calls? Is this your first time trying to hunt turkey?

If you are a new comer I would start with the box call. Pick one up at the local wal mart and practice practice practice. Watch videos and try and imitate what they do. As you get better with the call, move to the slate, glass call.

For box calls I will agree with Strut and say the Hally Caller deluxe box is pretty sweet. You can order from the number on their website. Another good box are the mountainside game calls, you will have to talk to Jbeck for one of those. Mountian side also has a glass/slate combo that is super easy to run and sounds awesome. Send Jbeck a pm and he can hook you up.

If it kills a turkey it's a good one and any call will kill birds if used correctly. If you want a call that looks good,sounds good and kills birds go with a custom call. Alex, Andy and Strut all make calls that are nice shoot them a pm and they will chat with you.

One of the best mass produced slate calls is the Ol' Yeller! This was one of my first slate calls.Even though I now own several custom calls, the Ol' Yeller still gets used and still get's great results!! For the price it is a Winner!!!!!

Get yourself a Primos Power Crystal and for a box call I got a Amish made one that sounds awesome.

I do love the power crystal, it wakes up the woods!

If your just getting started in turkey hunting I would suggest trying a basic push button box call. I have been at this for 20 years and still to this day carry my Madd push button call. Get yourself a turkey video and learn what you need to sound like. Another call I would not leave home without is the Madd super aluminator. When it comes to pot calls this one is hard to beat and easy to learn. Happy shopping.

well i personnally like the BLODGETT slates....and i have a old lohman box that sounds great......
