<P><FONT face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size=4>I use all three every time I am in the woods. You cant beat a box call for getting a gobbler to respond from a distance or on windy days. I use my slate calls for purring and sharp clucks. And I use my mouth calls for up close calling and cackling. I usually take 2 to 3 box calls, 1 slate, 1 glass and one aluminum pot call pluse anywhere from 5 to 7 different strikers and 4 mouth calls. I also carry an an owl call, crow call for reaction gobbles. That being said I think the easiest call to learn would be the box call. I love the fact that you can play them soft or loud and still get great sounds.</FONT></P>
