I've tried a lot from MAD, Bud&bettys, wood haven, quaker boy :TooFunny:, knight&harold...
I prob like cris parrish mouth calls the best...
which one do you guys like the best just curious thinking about trying another brand...
you're going to get a ton of answers to this, but I'll go ahead and mention Gooserbat calls, Sam builds very easy to use calls and is meticulous about his stretch consistency.
To be honest, mouth call preference is like talking best trucks, bows, shotguns . . . we all have our preferences! My advice is to get a few calls from a variety of makers, there are a bunch on this forum, and see what you like. If your like me, you might not be able to use "walmart" calls after using good quality custom calls!
Good luck!
My goto calls are gobblers choice(Martin Bros.) Spring hen, woodhaven's copperhead and Quaker boy's screaming boss hen.

Tom teasers have always been my go to call. Butt naked hen is a great all around call. Also the 2.5 reed cutter.

I've been turkey hunting since 1993 and have killed my fare share of 3 year+ older gobblers... just asking a question... Ive prob got 30 different mouth calls in packaging sittin in my huntin room right now im just always thinking of buying and trying something new that all
HOOKS
Not to hijack the thread but I have a question. I have many mouth calls that posters on here like and most of them when I blow them are really raspy. Cuttin they sound great but the yelps are too raspy. Any advise on what I'm doing wrong.

I did not mean for that post to be negative and I certainly was not questioning your ability, my apologies! I was just meaning that this can be a Ford vs Chevy thread!

Try a ghost cut call or a 2 reed call with no cuts. Can get that sweet young hen.
Top calls and zink.
Right now I like Legacy Game Calls. William Terry is a local boy and makes a top notch call.

No prob. I'm getting cabin fever and need to get in the woods lol
In the Calling,and Calling contest section look for the thread by scott ellis,Scott Ellis the high front end.It will help you alot.
I've spent a small fortune over the years buying and trying mouthcalls. I couldn't go into a store that sold them and not buy one. And for the most part I was disappointed and ended up trashing them. Overall, I like the Hook's exe and exe II with the bigger tape.
Woodhaven makes a nice call as well.
I really try and stay away from production calls, but there are some good ones out there.
I like Quaker Boy diaphragms but I don't like the mean green latex, for my liking, Primos latex is too thin. I like Woodhaven, some of the DnD calls, etc...

Other good advice above. Also check out Gooserbat's Bacon diaphragm, it is really easy to blow and has just enough rasp.
I'm like most got a bunch of calls either can't use or don't like. Currently using Pure turkey calls not mentioned yet. Can also use Martin Brothers. Sometimes use Preston Pittman.
Same here, I can only use about half the calls I buy.
Mine
TRKYHTR
If I could only take one call with me to the woods it would have to be a Hooks Jr Executioner II.
I'm bias but I really like Gooserbat, especially the Hillbilly.
i like the raspy old hen,double d and e-z rasp from H.S strut...i've called in plenty of mature toms with those calls over the years....Grizz
I have a bunch but the ones that usually make the cut to going into the woods always seem to come from hooks (executioner II) , halloran (TKO) , and houndstooth (dont remember the name but it has a forked tongue batwing design). I gobble on a 3reed batwing best
Don't hardly use any. I use mostly wingbones and trumpets for that sound. However, I did use a Pecker wrecker for purring last year.
Decided to give hooks a try EX II... Will see if I like it and if so I'll try a couple different ones from hooks....
I have been using Butski calls for a lot of years.I am having trouble finding cuttin lite 3's anymore so I might have to try something else.
Grew up using a true double always have one handy.... :fud:
I like stacked frame mouth calls.
I think an overlooked aspect with mouth call is getting a good fit or seal. I cannot run any mouth call well right out of the box, I need to trim a call down about a 1/8" to get a seal. I watched Steve Stoltz run a couple mouth calls once, and noticed he trims his calls down almost to the frame.
Trial and error, but a good seal leads to good sound.
Tom bomb pro pack is a problem solver:)! Garunteed!
