Primos Ol' Betsy Slate Turkey Call

The Primos Ol' Betsy Slate Turkey Call is a friction-style slate call designed for serious turkey hunters who demand authentic vocalizations in the field. Built on decades of proven call design, this slate turkey call produces the natural sounds that mature birds recognize and respond to during spring and fall seasons.

Friction-style calls operate by dragging a wooden or composite striker across a slate surface, generating the raspy purrs, yelps, clucks, and cutts that turkeys use to communicate. The slate friction surface provides superior tonal control compared to diaphragm calls, allowing hunters to produce a wider range of vocalizations with subtle pressure variations and striker angle adjustments.

Experienced turkey hunters benefit most from slate calls when they need pinpoint control over volume and tone—essential when working pressured birds or competing against natural calling. The Ol' Betsy excels in calm conditions where subtle vocalizations matter, and it's equally effective in windy terrain where friction calls cut through ambient noise better than some alternatives.
