Million dollar wager to kill one bird

Let's say someone bet you a million dollars that you couldn't kill a turkey on any given day (maybe sunny or maybe snowing; maybe fall or maybe spring; maybe an Eastern in Mississippi or a Merriams in Oregon), but you're only allowed to use one call to do so, what call are you packing in your pocket? And be specific, if it's a diaphragm what's the brand and what's the cut.

I got to thinking about this earlier because I've got way too much time on my hands right now and my answer surprised me. I'm carrying a Ralph Permar delrin classic and I'm shooting him dead late morning

My slate Lil Deuce and hickory striker.  It would be like taking candy from a baby.....$1million return on a $10 call bought maybe 25yrs ago

Ralph Snodgrass's mini boat paddle call. Really don't mind much which wood combo, his minis all produce bankable results.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409
Over time...they come to learn how little air a good yelper actually requires. ChesterCopperpot

A million dollars on the line and I'm not taking a call.   I'm bobcat'n up to him like the old days and shooting him center mass.     
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

A tube call , because I can make any turkey sound on it included a gobble if it comes to that .
Ps , I'll probably need some of the million to get out of jail , because I can't guarantee anything on anything on any of my gar holes :(

Howie, I bet you a million I can tell you who made your tube caller.  How are you?
