I know this is a loaded question but what's the best slate call that won't break the bank. I need to get it in time for season.
Not sure if he's doing slate atm but mike yingling is on here, reach out to him.

awesome i'll look him up!
Not sure of his availability rn, but Nathan Taylor makes a great one for a very reasonable price.
TRY FEATHER CREEK CALLS, I HAVE ONE OF HIS ON THE WAY.
Mike does have great calls that don't break the bank.....
Mike Yingling's grey slate is a very good caller.
Buster Halford also makes a outstanding slate.
We have 5 different slate calls, from wet slate, power slate & our corian pot slates. All at a fair price & knock your socks off sound. Watch this link & see for your self. http://www.enticerturkeycalls.com/shop/turkey-calls/power-slate/
Mark Cunningham or Paul Hicks make a great gray or black slate that will probably have a little less wait time than others. Also Blackstone custom calls and Mark Cornelius make a nice one too. May be a bit of a wait.
Mike Yingling should also not be overlooked.
Al's calls above my post here are also top notch.
Kevin with Pecker Wrecker has a killer osage and padauk slate.
Forgot about Buster and Chad R too.
Twyatt Sweetbriar makes a fine slate as well.
Call Larry Halford , known as Buster. You want a nice slate that sounds great and wont break the bank , He's your guy.
Buster and cornelius are weeks behind..I just got two from Paul Hanks ..they are as good as you can get..$58 TYD..his number 870-243-4195.. Chad remenaric is another one..his number 330-936-8156..just got a burbinga glass that I'll put up against anyone's calls..
I second Paul Hicks for a grey slate. He made me one last year in a Persimmon pot with a Cherry soundboard I really like.

I received recently a black slate / black slate in ebony it's awesome. If your looking for the older hen sound that what we used too get years ago. From John Sinclair
Paul Hicks and John Sinclair will get it to you quick.
Buy a Cody II you will be happy. T Wyatt on here will build you a great call too.
Travis does make a killer grey slate
Mike Yingling
Halloran
Jimmy Schaefer
Gooserbat Red
You can usually find some good ones in the classifieds on here

You're welcome.
I just got a killer purple slate from Travis Wyatt of Sweetbriar Custom Calls. Great guy who makes an excellent call.
I have a Woodhaven Cherry Classic Slate. It's a good call and the toms loved it last year. However, I feel like calls of the same quality or better can be had for cheaper.
I've got 3 of Mike Yingling's slates. Gray, green and purple. Mike has treated me very fair over the years. That might be why most everything I carry is his. Have at least a dozen of his pots. Al (Enticer Game Calls) makes some good wet weather pots. When things are looking damp outside, I've got a glass and an aluminum from him that I use. Never tried his slate. Have tried some from several other well known makers but got rid of all but the Yingling's. Just sounded better to me. But, what I like may not be what others like. You know, Chevy/Ford thing.

Yep, Paul Hicks Jr.(A.K.A Daddy Rat here on OG), Strut Zone Game calls, makes a GREAT gray slate call. His green slate is REALLY good also, as are a lot of his other calls.
Somebody mentioned Woodhaven. The Cherry Classic slate is a very good call and readily available. I do agree that you can get just as good or a better call for less, but there is a good chance you will have some kind of wait to get it...especially this time of year.
Sneed's make some great sounding slate calls.
Just wanted to give everyone an update. So I contacted Mr. Yingling and I bought 2 slates from him. He was awesome to work with. Got the 2 slates super quick.
The best part about it though is the fact that they sound AWESOME! I can wait to run them in the woods.

Congratulations, if his slate sounds anywhere near as good as his copper you got some great calls.
