Let's here what calls worked the best for you to call up the hens in the spring.

Well- still looking!!!
For hens the calls that worked the best for me this year was Darren Dawkins stoned aluminum in the plastic pot and a Permar model .45. I called in a LOT of hens this year.
Here's a short video I filmed just after using these two calls....

I feel your pain but in truth that is what makes a great call. It is harder to fool a hen sometimes. It is frustrating as heck, yes! In my video posted above I was hoping for a gobbler in tow. Last year it was jakes and this year it was hens. I hate turkeys. Sometimes.
Blodgett double trouble, always run the slate side. Has been my meat call since 2003!!!
no matter what I use, a hen will come in on me,,,,,,,,,,,,,, happen last week again..
Birds have been weird this year responding to calls in my are, but my atomic 13 has done the best
Keep them coming. A lot of guys don't think of calling to the hens in the spring but it can really pay off. The most success I have had calling up hens throughout the years is with a hooks diaphragm call. It didn't really seem to matter much what call I had in and when soft talking.
Seemed I saw the most hens this year while running a Hank's Padauk Aluminum. Also was the death of two birds so it was pretty solid on the boys as wel!
