Turkey Calls

[tumbleweed]

What kind of call? Mouth call, box call, friction call?

I have no idea, he hunts in Texas so I don't know if one type is better than the other. The only time I have ever seen a live turkey was at a Tyson Processing plant and they were not alive long. Thanks for the responses I will look into the suggestions.

Alright well like FFF said, all mouth calls sound different and is probably not something i would pick out for someone else considering it took me years to figure out the exact one that works best for me. Now there is only one kind i buy, Woodhaven Red Wasp.

And they make so many different kinds of slate/friction calls nowadays that you dont wanna ask him which kind of surface/make he prefers if you are trying to surprise him.

So IMO, I would get him a box call. You cant change up too much on a box call. And it is the easiest call to use. That Woodhaven site I posted has some very nice ones.

They sure are. My buddy bought me one of the "Red Wasp" diaphram calls to try out b/c he kept talking about how good they were and I wouldnt listen. I tried it out and havent bought anything different since. They sound the best, IMO. That was probably 3-4 years ago. And trust me I probably tried 100 different kinds/brands. About a month before the season every year now, I just order 2 Red Wasps(1 for back up) and Im ready. They have alot of others that my buddy likes but Red Wasp is the only one I have tried.

The slates and boxes are pricy compared to others but well worth it. They sound awesome. My buddy has both. I just dont use boxes or friction calls much. If i cant get them in with my red wasp, they aint coming. To me at least.

Heard that. I'll have to try it out this spring. Turkey calls are hard to change once you find one that works for you. Kinda like a good speck call.

Exactly like a good speck or mallard call.
