I have a chance to buy some turkey call from a friend of a friend. He has some Billy White calls that I hear are the best. They are on the expensive side so I am only buying one. Would you guys recommend the Raspy Glass or Hustling Hen or Alabama Cackler? I like the pot style call better but I not familiar with these calls either.

Thanks

If I was buying one to hunt with, it would be the hustling hen. The Cackler is kind of big to carry. It sounds good, but it stays at home. I haven't tried the raspy glass, but I would guess it is good also.

You know Billy White still makes calls right? Just call him and he will give you his address and you can send him a check. I bought a Hustlin Hen from him last year for $30. Whatever you do don't ask if you can come by his house. Trust me on that one.

I prefer the Raspy Slate over the Raspy Glass pot personally (I've got both).

Hustling Hen. And like BC said, deal with him by phone and mail. He don't want your company.

The Alabama Cackler is his most unique call in my opinion. I've never come across a slate type call that sounded like it. I'd go with it.

He must have owed him $50 or so...I can't imagine him coming down at all on any of his calls

I saw a hustlin hen on ebay this time last year that sold for like $202...yeah that's a ripoff but apparently the buyer didn't know he could get one for less than half of that from Billy.

I hunt about 20 min from his house. I broke a box call last year on the last week of season. I needed one for Nebraska so I called up Mr. White. Got him on the phone and he made me a price. I offered to come by his house since I was so close. He started acting all janky about it so I offered to meet him at a gas station in town because I could tell he wasn't keen on strangers at his home. There was a long pause and he said "Look fella you need to take a hint. You mail me a check and I mail you a box call and you ain't getting one no other way".

I said yes sir and hung up. Mailed him a check and carried my tail to Nebraska without a box call.

The one Hustlin Hen I heard I wasn't too impressed. May have been out of tune but it didn't sound too good

Unique yes, but the worst sounding call I have. Even tried diff strikers. Sits on the mantle collecting dust.
