I need a pot call specifically for damp, humid days. Probably going with slate. Would prefer a custom call maker instead of a big company, but MS opens in 33 days so time is of the essence. What say you?
Call Recommendation
- Thread starter Spurhunter
- Start date
I have a Yingling waterproof crystal over slate that's awesome
I've used quite a few of the Enticer calls and Al makes a great call.
The sidekick in slate would be my pick

Al Horbert... enticer turkey calls
Wet wonder.
I run his silver thunder extreme as my go to call.
I think Andy recommended him several years ago,
Only complaint is the silver thunder is a little heavy.... but flipping from the aluminum side to the Corian side basically gives you 2 different calls in one

Make sure to get a plastic striker. Any pot call will work wet with one.
Thanks guys! Just ordered a Wet Wonder. I can't wait to get it.
Same.
I ordered today at 1:02 and got an email at 4:37 from Al telling me it would ship tomorrow. Even gave me the tracking #. Count me as impressed.

I'll let y'all in on a little secret. Order the little $20 call from Al. I think it's called Double Trouble. You can thank me at the end of the season.
You guys are about to cost me some money!
I was also impressed with his prompt communication. Seems like Al prides himself on great customer service.

I really like his Silver Thunder Extreme with a carbon striker.. also great in wet weather!
Got mine in and didn't do anything to it and the sound is great. It includes a scotch Brite pad, sandpaper, and stone to condition the call to get different sounds. I've never heard of using a stone so do you use the edge, the pointed end, flat, etc? Maybe it doesn't matter but don't want to screw it up.

Just the flat side of the stone... produces more irregular scratches on the surface for a different sound.
personally I just use the screen sandpaper and don't worry about making different areas of the call with different abrasives. When I want a soft sound, I flip it over and use the back... the corian side. I do also scratch a small square on the back as well.

If you was a real Turkey Hunter, you would know you don't hunt pot calls on damp, humid days. Sorry, had to do it dude

I'd skip the stone across the creek and use the other two.

Crystal or glass is a good choice for damp or some rain!!

I already carry 78 pounds of gear to kill a 20 pound turkey. Guess I'll be adding a couple more!
Thanks guys!

After turkey hunting several years, I killed my first one on opening day, 2004. Since then, I've probably killed 2-3 a year. After reading this post, and watching the videos, I became convinced I'd never kill another turkey without a Silver Thunder Extreme with a Carbon Striker. I bought that one primarily because Al and others said it was heavy, and I need more weight in my vest! 
Two things you can never have too much of: turkey calls and weight in your vest!I bought that one primarily because Al and others said it was heavy, and I need more weight in my vest!
