Turkey Call Switch-up

Harold Knight of Kentucky is a partner in the Knight & Hale Game Call Co., and he's one of the very best wild turkey callers and hunters in the country.

turkey A lot of turkey hunters, Knight included take an assortment of calls into the woods each time they go. Knight believes this is because a gobbler can be picky when it comes to responding to one type call over another.

"Some days they'll answer a box call and they won't answer anything else," he says. "The next day, I can take a mouth diaphragm and they won't answer anything else. Lots of times, I‘ll start out in the morning with a friction type call, a little different pitch is all he wants."

He adds, "I've called a turkey with my mouth call, he answer me, but if I'm not getting anywhere with him, I move and reposition myself. I'm not going to use that same call, I'm going to use some kind of a friction call."
