I've got about everything you can imagine in my vest and very rarely do I ever make a sound with anything but a mouth call.

I only carry two calls. A Primos pot call that I've had for 20 yrs and a mouth call. I do most of the calling with the pot call and really only use the mouth call for up close work.

Lunch jet slate and a hounds tooth diaphram

Where to set up and when to call to him way more important than what you use and how good you use it 😀

Lynch Foolproof box call, Straight Creek slate call by Saylor, Woodhaven Red Wasp mouth call.
But I have to admit I can only cluck halfway convincingly on the mouth call, so I only use it to stop a bird and get his head up while looking down the rib at him.

Most of the turkeys I kill hear a Hatchet Creek mouth call and a homemade Rivercane. If somehow limited to 2, that would be it. I also carry some other mouth calls, a Fatal Attraxion is used a lot. I can get it a little louder than the other one. I carry a Shoub glass call and a very old Super Aluminator, though I don't use them often. And I usually carry a Dixie Darling box that I mainly use in the afternoon, but I seldom go in the afternoon in my old age.

I just realized that I don't carry any call that you can walk into a store and buy, so I guess this is worthless information. smile

I have 3 calls
-houndstooth 3 reed v cut- use this 98% of the time, put it in my mouth like a dip when I get out of the truck and dont take it out till I get back
-woodhaven basic slate call- use it about 1.5% of the time
-Black label crystal call- - use it the remaining .05% of the time(usually only when it is really windy)

Typically I use the slate and the v cut in tandem when hunting anything other than first thing in the morning. If I strike one, it is often with the slate call but I will bring him in to range with the v cut.

If I get under one still gobbling on the limb before daylight I only use the v cut because I dont wanna move my hands to get the slate call out of my vest.

I do not really think I sound any better on one than I do the other, I just prefer the v cut diaphragm because I can basically do it motionless
