[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 4604272, member: 2019"] My son wanted to sleep in this morning before church and not mad at them enough to chase in the rain with only one tag left between us. So, I have never been much of a pot call guy this year while mostly relying on mouth calls but did carry a Crystal Mistress and Dawkin's Aluminum. I have learned this year that the gobblers really like the Mistress. It has played a role in just about every bird that we've killed this year. I have acquired a few more this year thanks in part to talking with a member on here not to mention any names, but Tennessee Lead is a pretty good dude that has cost me some money this year. :) How do you condition your calls and specific to each surface? Do you do anything to the strikers? What is your morning ritual especially on damper mornings to keep from slipping? For me, slate is no problem with scotch brite, and the crystal mistress is pretty easy with a conditioning stone. I have a Houndstooth ceramic that seems to do ok with the scotch brite but still a little slippage. My biggest issue is with the Dawkin's aluminum. It is a sweet call if I can get it to run right. I am just not sure if it's the conditioning, the striker, me, or a little of everything. I have tried different pressure, strikers, etc. It sounds great when I can get it to run. Just bored and looking for some info on what everyone does with each surface and thinking I'm surely not the only one that has issues sometimes............. [/QUOTE]
