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.

I carry mine in a bread bag

The diaphram mouthcall is what I am best with . But they can fail . Any call on the list would work in a perfect woods ,,,I mean world. But like it has already been stated , humidity, rain , broken or lost can turn a good hunt sour .
 A wingbone or trumpet can be broken , though not as likely with one tied around your neck . I ain't near as good with either as some fellers , but am improving . Hot or cold , wet or dry they sound good .

If , if ,if I could only tAKE ONE ? ,,,,Wingbone,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I don't have a good trumpet ,,,,,,,,,,YET!

It is really surprising that Scratch Calls has as many votes and that Pot calls are that highly favored over boxes! I really thought that short boxes would be neck and neck with pots!

I like yelpers and scratchboxes....BUT...limited to just one caller it would have to be one of my own make.....
a straight sided box caller...probably with a snakewood or ebony lid...I noticed that not many people chose this type caller....may be one of the reasons they work so well when it comes to killing turkeys......Charlie

Charlie I would have picked it, but I haven't harvested one with one yet... hopefully after this year though  *cheers*  I'm kind of shocked you didn't say with a bloodwood lid though  ROTFLMBO

Pot Call, slate over glass.  There is just something about a slate call made out of a nice piece of wood that really gets me excited for Turkey Season.

  What.......................no one said CORN!!!! LOL!  *fall* *fall* *aah* *aah* *peep* *peep* *peep*

All kidding aside................Trumpet. Can't beat it for those soft calls when the woods haven't greened up in early Spring. If i didn't have a few trumpets in the house ( *wha* *wha* *wha* *wha*)......it would be a good single sider!

 I would have to pack a slate over glass pot call in my pocket if I could only take one. They can be so versatile and to my ears the slate reproduces turkey better than anything. Especially when you are closing the deal. These days the birds can be so tough that I try to improve my woodsmanship all the time. Sometimes it doesn't matter what call you have in your vest, they just won't come to them. So I sit back and listen so I can set up a good 'ol ambush.
