If you had one call and ONLY one call to take to the woods what Type would it be

[wisturkeyhunter]

I'd feel handicapped without at least 1 or 2 diaphragms as I've used them in the woods the most and I know I can call at least good enough to fool turkeys with them. After spending enough time in the turkey woods potless I'd certainly find myself reaching for a pot wishing one was in my pocket like the diaphragm I've used them alot to call birds to the gun. I'm lacking a good box and wish I had a good one so I know I'd use one of them and I've seen how effective a good one can be. So to answer the question I'd hate to be limited to 1 call even though I have gone to the woods with only one its not an ideal choice and something I'd not do often but for the purpose of this poll I voted a trumpet. A trumpet should last forever without sanding, chalking or tuning, and its got the volumn a diaphragm lacks I sometimes need in the big woods I hunt.

Good response!

I'd like to get at least a 100 votes so I can know a little about everyone's favorite type call.

Thanks

i voted for mouth call, but it's really a toss up between that and a 2 sided pot.

[West Augusta]

A crystal or ceramic pot with a locust striker.  That's really all I need.

Ok...I am gonna take my wingbone yelper....It had fooled many Ol toms...the soft puts they just cant stand it...

[Shadowturkeycaller]

Soft calling on a pot call has killed more turkeys for me than anything else. Not sure if this says my loud calling is not good or what. I have killed a few birds with nothing more than a couple clucks, purrs, and scratching the leaves.

Could not have said it any better!

Voted trumpet.  I can do almost everything on one that I would want to (except purr and gobble) and can do somethings a lot better than with other calls.  Like wisturkeyhunter said, it also has the volume required sometimes, but can also be played so low that you couldn't hear it at 20 paces. 

But not only that, they sound good, look really cool hanging around your neck  and the history behind the call is appealing.

3.25" slate over purpleheart pot, in a claro walnut pot probably.

**Bump**

[turkeystrutter]

I use push button only.  No need for other call

[misfire]

That was a hard one, I love my box calls, but for a "go to" call, I had to chose the pot call. A two sided crystal over slate allows me to get hard when I need to and soft when needed as well. I called in a ton of birds last season with that set up in a goncalo alves pot. And that wood is dense enough that if you run out of shells, hit him in the head with the pot and it wont even scratch the finish

In the past I'd have voted for a boxcall as I've called in a lot of turkeys with an old longbox I've had since I started hunting at age 12. I voted for trumpet because since I started using them they have proven themselves deadly and I haven't been on a hunt since without one around my neck. 

[wisturkeyhunter]

I'd hate to have a pot call or box call as my only call and it start to rain hard when I was in a good position to call a gobbler to the gun.

[Bulldogmikey]

Wore a slicker in the rain Turkey hunting for years. Always used a box. It never got wet. Could call from under the slicker and do it effectively. Have killed a few beards that way. I'm not gonna try and catch bath water with it but I can call a turkey even in the rain.
