While waiting on deer season I was privileged to land me an ol hen slate in a walnut pot from my good friend Buster Halford. This call is absolutely amazing. Super easy to run and has a rich, slightly deeper tone that you don't hear a whole lot. Killer call. Do yourself a favor, if you can get one, better jump on it. It's a KILLER. He may have outdone himself on that one. Good luck in the woods & stay safe
He makes a good one. I got my 1st old hen a month ago and got right back on his list.
Picked mine up in Nashville this year it's definitely killer!

I love and carry my Old Hen but he also makes an Osage glass over slate that may be the best pot call I have ever owned. I alternate between the two.
His ceramic is lights out also.
Buster doesn't make a bad pot call in any surface or wood pot.
I got two calls in from buster last week and I can't put them down. They're the first ones I've gotten from him. I got a katalox crystal over slate and his old hen slate. I already am back on his list for a ceramic, glass and persimmon slate.
Forgive me but I'm not a pot call hunter. I only own a gobbler pot call but the old hen, is it called old hen because it has a lot of that mature hen rasp sound? I'm considering one.
Mine isn't raspy as some I own but it does have a good deep rich tone that would definitely be like a mature hen. Tremendous call. It will definitely be in my vest come spring. I think you would be happy with one.
Buster makes some awesome pot calls, I guess that's why I own 10 of his pot calls... lol

To my ears it isn't on the extreme end of rasp. I have calls with a lot more rasp than this one. This call has a good throaty middle note to its yelps. The clucks are more hollow than sharp and crisp. I have a lot of pot calls and this one has its own sound to it.
Redwad stated it good. It is unique in its own sound. Great pot
Love my old hen call and Buster is a great person to deal with.
