I added Trough call to the poll. I know it could fit under other but decided to see if anyone hunted that type call specifically.

for me a pot call is just so much easier to turn down the volume and make those subtle sounds on a pressured bird.

I don't remember how I voted, but after Sunday's hunt in La, & if I had to pick only one call to bring ... ::)

... it would now be a trumpet / yelper - what an incredible response / reaction from the birds; & I don't even know how to play it worth a darn - yet ... ;)

I would have to say a pot call because that is all I have used  my first two years of turkey hunting. I have shot two birds with them but I just received a box call from a member of this forum and I will have to say I feel a box sounds better.  Scoot

I'd have to say mouth diaphragm only because of the "hands free" operation.

I would take a Gator Gobbing Stribling to the woods.   This is a call that will soft call when he wakes up, it is a call that will get his blood flowing when opens his eyes with a subtle fly down cackle, it is a call that will give him a false sense of another gobbler moving into his territory with a strong gobbler mature yelp.  It is a call that will promise him  everything with the raspiest hen cutts you ever heard,  it is a call that will make him fly down and come straight to you with the most impressive Mature Gobble on the market.  It is the Gator Gobblin Stribbling by John Eddleman Custom Calls!!!!  Oh, I forgot not to mention any names!!!  It is a hunting short box.

Definitely a longbox. You can get so many different birds out of one, its like having a flock in your vest.

Tough choices. I voted trumpets. If you had given me two choices they would have been a trumpet and a short box. I've been playing trumpets about 6 years now and love them. Don't have to worry about them getting wet, the reeds sticking together or getting soggy and sounding like a frog. They say the way to become good with a particular call is to leave all of your other calls at home. Hmm........

When I was able to hunt I always only took ONE call to the woods. Partially because I only had 2 but I was taught get a good call and learn to play it and have confidence in the call and your ability! It worked. The call became second nature. Didn't need a bunch of calls!

I've hunted turkeys in Shannon County every year since 1971, the lynch box is the favorite in this part of the country with the mouth call probably second, I think the longbox with all the different sounds you can get works best. I've called in and killed over 40 turkeys and on most of them I've used a box, a mouth caller, and a lot of the time a slate also. But if I could just take one it would be the longbox.
