Most common call used

[upnorth]

Mouth,pot or a box. I seem to go back and forth between a box and pot call forthe go to call. But only have a few years under the belt. Wonder what studies show is most used? Also maybe that is trending different in recent years?

Your vast knowledge or opinion?

Pot calls and mouth calls for me.  I use a Madhatter Copper and a Roberts Brothers Glass/Slate. 

For mouth calls I'm digging the Cane Creek Lost Poult and Cane Creek Dead End.


I break every box I take to the woods so I quit using them.

I always tend to start with a ghost cut mouth call.

Turpin style box and slate for me. Always  a mouth call tucked in my cheek.

I don't think any studies have done on it. At best we can speculate but I'm sure depends who you're talking

Mostly mouth calls.  About 90% I would guess.

Mouth calls by far for me.

Hooks "Enforcer" mouth call with a pot call of some type thrown in once in a while.

+1  Even though Sunday morning it was a good thing I had my hand yelper....dang birds weren't paying my mouth yelps any attention!

I use a slate 95% of the time. I hunt public land a good bit and it seems like everyone and their brother uses a mouth call in that area.

I generally go to a pot call first but as it goes, that's what I use, meaning that if a bird or two respond to a box, that's what I'll lean toward. If they respond to a mouth call, I'll use that. I don't know if it's a function of what most of the birds are   responding to or it's because I tend to use that type more since I've had success with it once.
It does seem like some years they're more responsive to certain sounds and other years, others. That could be a function of them hearing the same calls from everybody and figuring something isn't right or it could be I'm more proficient some years with one or another call...OR, it could all be dumb luck and the birds happen to be within ear shot when I use those particular calls...
I just figure I'll try calls with drastically different tones and somebody will like one of them...Seems to work out for me...

I am surprised,very few box calls?
