15:29 - Don't use sandpaper on a striker tip, only a scotchbrite pad. The sandpaper will remove too much material and is too flat. It will change the profile of the rounded striker tip which make the striker slip more often. I've spoken with call makers about this and they 100% say never sandpaper on the tip for the exact reason you mentioned here. It can ruin a striker. You need something just abrasive enough to remove the glass/slate that clogs the pores of the wood tip.
Box call can gobble. I can’t believe no one said that…sometimes that’s what you need to get that gobbler to fire back, if you can only have one the box call is the best for that reason.
While I can appreciate a slate and a box call the best turkey call is a mouth reed. Cons are it takes more skill to make a wider variety of sounds. Pros are less accessories ,no chalk, Brillo pads, sandpaper, rubber bands, or strikers required. Less movement for when the birds get closer. Ability to make non turkey noises. Non weather sensitive if it freezes put it in your pocket, if it rains who cares. No one ever plays with some one else’s mouth reeds. I can appreciate all and own them as well, if I could only take one the mouth reed is it.
I use pot calls more as I can run them better and have more confidence in them. However watch someone like David Halloran run a box call and you can see what a good box is capable of. One thing I noticed is that you should never lift the lid of the box when yelping. A box can do everything a pot call can plus you can get a good gobble on a box call. Also regarding the chalk, you have to use wax free chalk on turkey calls or you could ruin them. Don't just use whatever chalk you find. Lastly I don't think there is or ever will be one best type of call, the best call there is, is what that turkey wants to hear that day. Get proficient with as many as you can and there are tons of options, box, pot, diaphragm, push pin, scratch box, trumpet, wing bone, nail call......
Just popped Inn to thank you, for the info on what used to be a real phenomenon of over stabilised bullets no longer being an issue due to precision bullet manufacture - iin Barrels - the most important part of your gun? 1 year ago. So a 9.5" twist 7mm necked up 6.8 Western, will work fine with lighter bullets. Excellent info on potential already. ❤

Love watching this stuff. Stepping into the Turkey hunting pool for the first time this spring.
"And been spooking birds ever since" that was good... Great podcast guys I love me some turkey hunting!!!
Love my slate. Got a box later but i feel more diverse calls on slate makes it a must have. Box is easier, louder and always sounds good

I put my box call in a beer can cozey to keep it quiet. Easy to slide on and off.
Great show. Lynch calls are the vortex optics of Turkey calls.
A slate us all you need
Turkey hunting. Never thought I’d have so much fun being terrible at something.

Box call for broadcasting, slate for closing the deal.

Eric makes that slate sing, but I'm with Mark. I prefer the box call and have good success with it.
I only bring two slate calls...one slate and one glass...that's all I need
I started with a slate call, but in the couple of seasons I've started to take a shine to wing-bone calls.
Thanks guys looking at getting into turkey hunting.
Where can I get marks hat I bought one from the website but it was Gray
Late 90's Edition
@@VortexNation ebay here I come
is that lynch your dads old call pre 1980?
Box and a diaphragm is all ya need . Gotta have quality products and know how to use them though
How Mark grow beard over night from last video podcast yesterday, I got it prerecorded for today😂
Box call, i can’t tell the differance🤷🏻♂️
There is NO excuse not to carry a box call! What sounds good to our ears, may not sound good to a gobbler
You can't afford not to own a slate call
