Favotite turkey calls?

With turkey season right around the corner in my state, I got to wondering what your favorite style of turkey calls are. I think Ive tried them all, but I always find myself going back to the slate call, with box calls running a close second.
Whats your favorite style?

I'm a big slate call/diaphragm guy. I use Pitman diaphrams and a host of various slate calls and pegs. Never been much for box calls.

I like the wing bone call. For some reason, they always seem to work for me.

Trumpet- my buddy MKW
Pot calls- supreme turkey calls
Box- Irving Whitt
Mouth call- legacy
The trumpet is my favorite, but not always the one the birds like.

I like a box call for blind calling every so often. I also like to cut with the diaphram and using them when a bird is close. I like the sound of purrs on a slate. Good luck everyone this spring!

I have to admit that I love the hands free advantage of the diaphragm calls, but the allure of the classics just keep calling me back, although they might be a disadvantage at times, because of the movement associated with them.

90% of my calling is with Diaphrams I use a gooser bat triple reed and a primos A frame triple reed bat cut. The primos is my favorite and the birds in my area love it. My slate is a primos jack pot. Killed my second biggest bird using that call. The hunt last a total of 15 minutes I think:)

1st Choice - Trumpet calls
2nd Choice - Friction Slate
3rd Choice - Box
4th Choice - Tube
These choices are based on confidences directly related to success in the field. Order between choices 2 thru 4 could easily change if I utilized 3 & 4 more often.

I like using them all..but for the past few years it seems like I always got a Woodhaven Copperhead in my mouth when working a gobbler.

Normally just use my voice. Learned how when I was a young whippersnapper. Other than that my two favorites are a lynch foolproof box and a Primos mighty might slate

I like box calls. Diaphrams are nice for hands free operation. But I have blown it when I get excited,and sound like a party whistle or something.
