What brand of diaphragm calls do you use for Turkey Hunting?

Hook's Custom Calls

I find they have a smaller frame. Easier for me to call with. Sound great.

Tried some Preston Pittman calls last year and they were not very user friendly to me. Tried Primos Limb Hanger and they are small, trimmable, and very easy to call with.
Not an expert by any means, but did limit out last year using the LH call both times. Thats what will be in my mouth come turkey season.

That's all that matters.

Do you have any experience with The Pro, The Duplicator or The Imitator?

Those three make up the Hunter Pack on the Hook Website.

Delta queen.

Go buy about 4 or 5 different ones. Everyone will use each a little differently, and it's easier to just find a call that fits the way you play it than it is to try to learn a new call right before the season.

I usually carry 3 or 4. Last year I think I carried 2 Woodhaven, a H.S. Strut, and a flextone. I have about 6 in unopened packs in my closet. I'll probably reuse one of the Woodhavens from last year. It still sounds really good.

I suggest you go get a H.S. Strut Cutting 2.5, a Woodhaven (I don't remember which ones I have, but I know you can get more than one season out of them), and maybe a 3-pack of either flextone, primos or some other brand. You'll end up spending about $5 on the H.S. Strut,$11 on the Woodhaven, and $10-15 on a 3 pack of some other brand. You'll probably find one of them that you can't use. Some just don't work for some people. Throw it in the trash so you aren't tempted to use it. Practice some basic cuts and yelps, and record yourself with your phone from 10-20 ft away. Do this outside if at all possible. Everyone thinks they sound good in the truck or in a home. Things sound different outside.

I will say that being really good on a pot call... Slate or Glass is much much crucial to killing than being good on a mouth call.

For beginners, I can agree with this. For a seasoned turkey killer, you won't find many that prefer a friction call of any kind over a mouth call.

Thanks fellas

I already have 2 good pot calls that I'm very good on but, I'm try to become better with the mouth calls. I like using the mouth calls more because my hands are on my gun and limits the amount of movement I have to make.

Sounds like I'll probably get a couple of the Woodhaven and the H.S. Strut and probably try the Hook as well.

It's interesting that you say that everyone sounds good in a truck. I find that I sound much better when I'm calling outside rather than inside. I don't know why that is.

I like to go try them out like duck calls. Open one up, do some yelps and clucks and see how it fits. If I don't like it, I grab another. You go thru enough you'll find one or two you like.

Killed about 30 birds in my lifetime with this call alone.
