I made a post in the pot call forum. If anyone has some knowledge of fine pot call makers I would greatly appreciate it.

Others make good ones, but nobody makes a better one than Mike Yingling. I don't know of a single person that got one and regretted it. They'll hunt for sure.

What kind of sound are you looking for? There are several out there.

I have a copper by Mike Yingling and Wendell Rye.  Both are excellent pots and super nice guys.  I can use a cedar striker and get really soft or use Ipe, Bloodwood or Carbon Fiber to get more aggressive.  I just got my Yingling pot so I have not had a chance to hunt with it but I love the pot and he was a pleasure to work with.
A hunt based on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be - Fred Bear

   I have the Ron Clough- Viper/ Copper over Glass Pot. I use a Hickory Corncob Striker  with it.

I have an old one from Larry Gresser.   Sweet sounding call.  I'm not sure if he's still making calls or not.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

If I had saved all the money I spent on hunting, I'd spend it on hunting.

Greg Massey  made a good copper pot, until the Gmen found out

I think a lot depends on matching it with a good striker.
I think red beard makes a decent one, Spring allure is a good one as well.  However I have seen putting the wrong striker on one sounds like a cat screeching.

I have that same exact pot. It is a good one. The yelp that I get with the carbon fiber is just - really good! And I love the ability to flip it over and get real soft if need be.

I like copper calls and have a handful of them. Whenever Im reaching to put one in the satchel it usually ends up being a YINGLING.
