8 Best Turkey Calls

Key Specs

• Material: Synthetic and slate with wood striker
• Call Type: Slate/pot

Slate is the easiest of all pot call surfaces to master. The Cookie Cutt’R Pot Call is ideal for novice callers learning the art of turkey calling. This economical call offers a tracer lid to learn purrs, yelps, and clucks. The call is composed of a durable synthetic that can withstand years of use, so once the user aces their calling, they can remove the tracer lid and continue using the call. I found the call easy to use, and the tones were comparable to other calls in its class.

This call’s solid straight-grain mahogany base with a walnut lid produces soft and loud tones with little effort. The offset pivoting top and automatic lid stop are why this box call is named Fool Proof; it’s easy for both beginners and experienced users to produce perfect calls. Every Lynch call is handmade and hand-tuned.
