[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2587767, member: 95733"] Used a HS Strut synthetic slate pot call for about the last 23-24 of my last 33 turkey seasons with great success. As I started hunting as much on public as private Toms got whole lot harder to call in an kill VS private ground and I was now spending nearly if not all of all of the season to fill mine and my boys tags. I realized needed to have a selection of different sounding calls to be able to strike a cord with pressured Toms. About five seasons ago I discovered and was intrigued by the new slate pot calls that used non-traditional surfaces like copper, brass, and ceramic. I am a HIGE fan of Matt Dale's turkey hunting instructional videos and one of his sponsors is "Spring Fever Turkey calls". I went and bought one each a double sided brass/synthetic and copper/synthetic and slate/synthetic pot calls,. They are very well made and reasonably priced. First time I used them was in 2016 and they definitely made a difference in getting the pressured Toms my friend and I chase on public land willingness to be called into gun range, especially the brass and copper faced calls. Secondly over 15 years ago I got VERY good at using a elk diaphragm call. So when I decided to learn how to use a turkey diaphragm call 6-7 years ago it was relatively easy. But I will say not all diaphragm calls will be compatible and fit well with the roof of every callers mouth as many did not work with mine. I have had awesome success using Primos diaphragm calls. Using their true triple and double stacked diaphragm calls I've called in Toms from as far away as 400+ yards under the correct calling conditions and located many toms by using Primos mouth calls to get them to shock gobble especially late morning after the hens are bread and left the Toms alone to go tend their nest. My all time most effective Primos moth calls are The Limb Hanger True Double True Trippel Any Primos moth call with a bat wing or ghost wing cut. For the last 6-7 seasons the calls I bring are 1 copper/synthetic pot call 1 brass/synthetic pot call 1 each synthetic striker and cherry wood striker 1 paddle call 4-5 diaphragm calls. Using either one or a combination of them I've never failed in 33 turkey seasons to call in at least one Tom for either myself, my sons or a friend. Having said all THAT my No#1 most important reason I am a consistently successful turkey hunter is figuring out how to put myself, or my sons or a friend between the turkeys and where they want to go. My calling is about 20-25% of my success as a turkey hunter and actually knowing what call to make and when to use it IMO/IME is far more important then the actual calling itself. [/QUOTE]
