Title: If You Had To Pick One Striker

See a lot of posts about carrying one pot call or one box caller. I know the idea is to carry several different strikers. But lets just say you could only carry one. Just curious to see some of your choices. Myself I would go with plain ole hickory.

If I could only carry one it would be a Dymondwood. Hickory would be my second choice for one striker.

Dymondwood, it runs on everything.

Tulipwood

EDIT: I originally said Yellowheart (which I love) but after hunting today and hearing it in the woods, I had to change my vote to Tulipwood. It's just flat out sounds turkey with ALL of my go-to pot calls! (Schaffer Mad Hen Gen 2, Halloran Twisted Sister, Yingling Copper, Sneed Hot Hen, and Lights Out Aluminum)

I have a flared tip heavy hickory that will run as good as any on everything but copper.

Man you can't pick just one, Lonzo one piece dymondwood, Harold fowler Purple Heart/Osage top.

I'll say Osage but let me qualify. It takes a good bit of turning to find a really good Osage striker. I turn an Osage striker for every pot I make and all are good, but it's the rare one that will run everything well.

JBIRD, is Tulipwood the same thing as Tulip poplar? Because that stuff is hard as a rock!
