The Grind Turkey Calls

Frequently Asked Questions About The Grind Turkey Calls

What types of turkey calls does The Grind make?

The Grind makes mouth calls, box calls, pot and peg calls, friction calls, and locator calls. Its lineup includes diaphragm mouth calls for hands-free calling, traditional box and pot calls, easy-to-use friction calls, and crow and owl calls designed to locate gobblers.

Which The Grind turkey call is best for beginners?

The best choice depends on the hunter, but The Grind Beginner Mouth Call 2-Pack is specifically designed for new mouth-call users. A box call or The Grind Pusher Easy Button is another good starting point because these calls require less practice to produce basic turkey sounds.

What is the difference between The Grind Batwing and Fancy Cut mouth calls?

Both are three-reed mouth calls, but they use different cuts and produce different tonal characteristics. The Grind Batwing has a competition-style batwing cut and heavy rasp, while The Grind Fancy Cut uses a competition fancy cut and produces a medium-rasp sound.

Which The Grind mouth call has the most rasp?

The Grind Batwing is the highest-rasp option in The Grind's mouth-call lineup, with three reeds and a heavy-rasp design. The Fancy Cut and Red Poison are medium-rasp calls, while the Inverted V is designed for lighter rasp and softer calling.

How do you use a The Grind box call?

Hold the box securely without touching its sides, then slide the lid across the edge of the box using controlled pressure. A slower stroke can produce a hen yelp, while faster strokes can create quicker yelps or cutting. More pressure and a quick twist of the lid can produce clucks and cuts. The Grind recommends periodically chalking the lid with carpenter's chalk to maintain consistent sound.

Are The Grind pot calls made in the USA?

Yes. The Grind markets its turkey calls as hand-tuned USA calls and identifies its products as Made in USA.

What is the difference between a slate and glass turkey call?

Both are friction-call surfaces used with a striker, but they have different sound characteristics. Slate generally produces softer, more forgiving sounds that work well for close-range calling, while glass can produce sharper, louder tones and is useful when more volume is needed. The Grind offers both slate and glass pot calls, including the The Grind Cooker and The Grind Glass Ghost.

What is The Grind Pusher Easy Button?

The Grind Pusher Easy Button is a one-handed friction call designed to make realistic turkey sounds with very little practice. The hunter holds the call in the palm and uses an index finger to push the peg, producing yelps, clucks, and purrs. The call is handcrafted from walnut and is designed to be maintenance-free.

What is a turkey locator call?

A turkey locator call is used to make a gobbler reveal his location rather than directly imitate a hen. Crow calls and owl calls are common examples. Their sharp or distinctive sounds can trigger a shock gobble, helping hunters locate a bird that is otherwise silent.

What is the difference between The Grind Night Glider and Crow Caw?

Both are locator calls, but they imitate different animals. The Grind Night Glider is an owl call, while The Grind Crow Caw imitates a crow. Either can be used to provoke a shock gobble and locate a turkey, so the choice largely comes down to the sound you prefer and the situation you're hunting.

How do you care for a The Grind mouth call?

After use, rinse the mouth call in cool water. For disinfection, The Grind recommends a solution of 10% mouthwash and 90% water. Allow the call to air dry for about an hour, then store it in the refrigerator.

How should The Grind pot and friction calls be stored?

After the season, wipe the calling surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove residue. The Grind recommends storing pot and friction calls in a low-humidity area of the home to help protect the call and maintain consistent performance.
