Old Ashby gobbler box hand picked and signed by Ike himself but I stopped using it and replaced it another identical Ashby box call (I have 5) for fear of losing the signed one.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

I don't know about my go-to call , but the worst imitations of turkey hens came from real hens. Since figuring that out, I worry a lot less about quality calling.

Had a few hens that called so bad I'd swear there was a hunter over there doing the calling. If you ever have a hen come up and challenge you when your call let it play out I have had more then 1 gobbler come into a cluck battle and surprise me.

A slate and a shaker gobbler call has worked 17 times in the last 9 years along with a few decoys.

I really like a cherry box call made by a friend for me. Works almost every year.

I agree with hens sounding horrible. It is a lot of fun to imitate them and see how worked up you can get them.

I got into a battle with a hen one time, there was a gobbler I was calling to. She came out from the right of me and started sounding off. I would mimic every call she did. It went on for a good 20 minutes but I lost, her and gobbler walked away.
