The way I see it, either my calls are finicky or I'm finicky. Calls just seem to sound different on different days. It may be related to temperature or humidity but I'll sometimes cycle through a few before I hit one that sounds right and I'll keep running it a while. It's often one of the bat wing cuts from Woodhaven but some days Stony's Fatal Attraxion or the Straight Creek glass over slate sound the sweetest.

I've never worked a bird to the gun with a box. Sometimes I strike them with one, but toss the mouthcall in after that. 99% of the time these days, this is exactly how I kill my birds; I've found that my boxes can get one worked up enough that I don't even need to call anymore (mouth, box, or anything else)... I put my mouth call in "just in case" I need to direct the bird a bit better into the kill position...

Im not really certain I have a go to call anymore. I usually use a box or mouth call now. I have cycled alot of calls the last few years.
The only thing the same thats been in my vest over time has been one of stonys glass calls and a glass over aluminum Call girl by Steve Reeves. But have gotten out of the habit of using slates the last few years.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

I don't have a "go to". I guess because I haven't been doing it long enough. I did kill one each with a box, a slate and a glass this year. The only reason I used the box was because the arthritis in my hand was giving me fits that morning and I was having trouble holding the striker.

I love running a slate. My old Perfection glass call is a favorite and so is the newer Magnolia Game Calls walnut slate with the olive wood striker. Dayum, I need to get serious about finding some turkeys next year...

... I need to get serious about finding some turkeys next year... No you don't. Somebody else will be willing to find them in your absence.

Some type of mouth call. Got several I like. Killed a handful with a box or slate, but probably 80% with a mouth call. Started making my own this year, and ended my season using them. So i figure they'll be my go to from now on most likely.
Turkeys be damned.

If I could only carry one it would be a mouth call.

If I used nothing but a Fatal Attraxion Red I'd probably kill the same number of turkeys. I could probably say the same about a Hatchet Creek Screaming Green.
