Slate and box calls

[teej89]

Alright so I'm looking at investing in a new slate and box call this year. What would you guys suggest?

Currently I have the HS Lil strut and the power crystal.

The deer and turkey expo always has some good calls I usually pick a few up up there.

I was thinking that but I'm going to be away in pittsburgh that weekend unfortunately...

I recommend a Lynch box call.

For the slate: Keystone Powerwedge: http://keystonecalls.com/products.php $48 I have the walnut and slate call with the rosewood striker. I've also used the mini-wedge with glass or ceramic (Hoyt's). Both are very nice and sound great.

For the box: Lynch World Champion. $45

That's $100 on turkey calls, but I'll never need another one. I usually buy a mouth call or two each spring but sound like a chicken being boiled, not a turkey.

Lynch World Champion box call.
Power Crystal Slate.
Primos Triple Frame mouth call if you use one.

Current slate call is a Down N Dirty Soul Crusher. Best call I have personally worked for subtle clucks and purrs. I really liked using it last year.

I've had a Primos Double Box Cutter box call for a few years now. All I do is long range yelps and I will cut on it occasionally. A box call is one of those optional calls IMO.

I like my keystone calls slate power wedge. Good range and always sounds good. Usually gets something talking

I use a Cody Woodsman slate and a Cody II glass, they both are easy to use and are both well made, I have a Lynch box call in my vest but I really like the Woodhaven Real Hen Cherry box. It all depends on what your ear likes the most. Cabala's usually has a great assortment of friction calls that you can pick up and play with and see what sounds best to you and is easy to use. Good luck this spring.

Thanks for the input guys! And I'm not a huge fan of the glass calls cuz later in the season or if I'm just hoofing it around and my hands get a lil sweaty and that gets on the glass it's useless then. I've used a glass for a while and wanted to pick up a slate too. and The box call I have the walls on it are so thin I'm not a huge fan of the sound it produces especially when trying to make long range calls. I'll check these calls out, thanks again!

Keystone is usually setup at the expo, that is where I got mine.

I appreciate the thought you guys put into your calls. I honestly do not have a clue what I use, but they sound sorta like a turkey. I do have a Lynch, but only remember that because it was the first box call I ever bought!
