it is best to get one or more of each type of call: slate, glass, metal, diaphragm, and others like Tom Gatskins turkey call. Each have pros and cons. but as for the best, i prefer a Knight and Hale Glass Hammer.

Find 'em and get 'em close with a Lynch box, then switch to a diaphragm for no movement calling.

A good box call will do quite well as will a good glass/slate type call.

Calling is only about 20% of turkey hunting, wood craft is about 70% along with a 10% measure of luck!

SLATE calls are probably your best bet. you can make a wide variety of noises, from purrs, to soft chirps, to screeching yelps. i love it.

Every turkeys different, some like it raspy, some like it high and squeaky, etc. Try a little of everything until you get a reaction. I used a mouth call, to call my bird in this morning. Other times it's been the box call.
