Nope, I ain't talking about which one sounds the sweetest or looks the prettiest.
I am talking about which pots consistently kill for you, which are the most undeniable blood thirsty pots out there time and time again.
For me it was an old BudnBettys, now its the Hot Hen with a diamond wood from Wendell.
Actually for me its a Roberts Brothers glass over slate. I can't afford to take this pot out of my vest.
Hook's Assassin slate, my go to call.
Crystal mistress has killed my last 5 birds.
I change them out so much I haven't got one that I know of. I do know I have a old lynch fool proof that has accounted for more birds than I can actually count. it stays with me every day of the season. my crystal mistress has put a end to a few though.
My old Cody pot always comes with me. I've had it since I started turkey hunting

Same here, mine looks like I drag it behind the vehicle to the woods but it's a stone cold killer.
I generally have a new favorite every year
Vision crystal of mine. Gobbler 336 can back me up. It kills turkeys. I would hate to fathom a guess at how many. I know one year it was 27.
Cane Creek glass has been good to me.
Crystal Mistress.
My old Death Wish, bronze glass/cherry pot has been the demise of a lot of old gobblers for the past 8 years.
Hard to dispute a wormy chestnut roberts brothers with a purpleheart striker.
My go to pot for about the last 6-7 years is a lonzo zebrawood glass has killed quite a few its a little raspier than most his other pots
my old walnut slate, one of the first ones I ever made. Has accounted for many birds as has its sister that was turned the same day & owned by another member here. Mike

Gee I'm not sure who has that call but I do know that 15-18 birds were called to the gun using it for family and friends. :turkey2:
The green glass Outlaw Hen laid down a three year old yesterday , struck him at 530 pm he flopped briefly at 6:15 pm. All on film text book. The good Lord knew what he was doing to men when he made the Turkey and the the gobble !
My old hs wood witch pot with a purple heart striker. Played real soft, just purrs and clucks with that call dropped a bunch of my birds.
knight and hale ole yeller the old green pot first call I ever owned and still carry it now as my old faithful.

man blue ridge, I have been looking for the original ole yeller in the green pot for awhile now. I wonder how many old mom and pop stores have a few hanging there and don't know what they have. They sell for quite a bit on ebay. Scoot

I would buy more if I could find them you're right about ebay the are high. I look in every little store I go into.
I bought a glass call from a guy in Alabama 5 years ago called "come heah to me" Not a Lady. His name is Donny Richards. That call has been the demise of over 20 gobblers and is down right deadly.
I also have a couple of David Halloran calls that aren't too bad either. The crystal mystress and the twisted sister have been absoulutely all turkey.

I retired mine last year and had them sign it at Nashville.

I still have one green pot still in the package but am not going to open it.
My old Pat McClure walnut\glass been getting it done for 20yrs, paired with a Harold Fowler purpleheart striker.
my old yella green base has been the end of many gobblers for my family and i cant wait to get my hot hen & outlaw hen out this season
I can say I have killed more turkeys with a primos power crystal more than any other I have it still but the glass is loose I always ran with the h.s strut rosewood striker I had it since I was 17 but now the mistress is the first one out of the best with either a lights out dymondwood or woodhaven strike 3 birch flair tip

I am not retiring mine. she still has alot of killing yet to do. Best part about that call is the surface sounds the same no matter where you strike it. No off notes when in bad possitions or using one hand.
hey guys, im new to this forum. anyway to answer the question...I bought my first glass call this year. its made by magnolia game calls which is a Mississippi company. it has killed two birds for me this year and it has called up at least 8 this year. lynch fool proof has killed several birds for me as well
Power crystal. Simple, deadly.
I'll tell ya another solid production pot.
MAD super Crystal made by flambeau. $20 or less. No sound board in that pot.
Toss the strikers that it comes with in the trash and run that pot right in the center with your own.
Pure turkey...
My Cody Envy glass that I bought YEARS ago has more kills to its credit than all of the pot calls I own combined! I didn't take it to the woods a single time this year though...hmmm
For a long time it was my original old yeller. For the last few years, my Tom Teaser slate has been killin' 'em left and right. I have a pile of customs, but these seem to kill the turkeys. I just got a Daybreak ceramic tonight. I'm gonna predict it will kill its share.
