Hs Strut Raspy Old Hen Slate Pot Call

The HS Strut Raspy Old Hen Slate Pot Call by Hunters Specialties is a time-tested turkey hunting tool designed for serious upland hunters pursuing wild turkeys during spring and fall seasons. This friction-style call delivers authentic hen vocalizations that trigger aggressive responses from curious gobblers, whether you're calling from a blind, roosted position, or working a known strut zone. Built by Hunters Specialties—a brand with decades of credibility in turkey hunting—this pot call earns its place in the vest of hunters who demand reliable, field-proven equipment.

The call features a natural slate surface that produces the characteristically raspy, worn tone associated with older hens—birds that dominant gobblers actively seek during peak breeding conditions. The slate pot pairs with a wooden or composite striker to generate consistent, realistic clucking, purring, and cutting sequences without requiring mechanical operation or battery power. At just 0.35 lbs and compact at 6 x 2 x 9 inches, the call fits easily into a hunting pack or vest pocket, making it ideal for mobile hunting strategies or extended glassing sessions where quick access to a proven locator call can mean the difference between success and an empty tag.

Turkey hunters working hardwood ridges, creek bottoms, and open timber across North America will find this pot call effective for locating birds at dawn, establishing dominance during mid-morning lulls, and closing distances on reluctant gobblers in the final hours before sunset. The raspy old hen tone works particularly well when competing turkeys are already vocally active—situations where aggressive, realistic hen sounds outperform softer calls. Hand-operated friction calls require no batteries and perform reliably in wet conditions, making slate pot calls an essential backup to box calls and diaphragm calls in any serious turkey hunter's arsenal.
