The whole lot of em'..


The top section. All the way on top is Permar's trumpet set of a few years ago, and Buice's 40th Anniversary set. Up front is my trusty old friend.. a field grade Lapp caller thats been with me for every turkey hunt I've been on since 2004.


Top left...Frank Cox box caller, Hornstra yelpers, Lynch Turkey in the Pines, Lynch 12 hole, Leon's Turkey call, the Allegheny call, Snider's Blue and South Mountain callers..

I think you have a turkey problem. Also, I never use one, but I have hunted with someone using a perfectly made wingbone and it sounded unbelievable

The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem.

Awesome collection.

Oh and to answer the question, I start with a slate and finish with a diaphragm

I've got a primos diaphram mouth call. I used to keep it in the truck and practice driving down the road, but the wife and kids started to complain.
