Zink Thunder Ridge Slate
The other day I picked up a new slate call made by Zink called the Thunder Ridge slate. It comes with a DVD, which is really good. It also comes with 1 striker, and a small piece of scotch brite pad to scuff the slate. It purrs easy, the clucks and puts are sharp and it yelps great too. I went back and forth in the store from the crystal to the slate before I decided on the slate. The crystal version was louder than the slate for sure, but to me just didn’t sound quite right. The slate is not super loud, but I think it’s loud enough, and it has a good “turkey” sound, to me at least. I’m going to try to film this year’s turkey expedition. I’ve got a small camcorder and a tripod. I’m going to get a camera adapter for it soon, and maybe camo it out. Not sure how well it will go, trying to film and call at the same time, and take the shot of course assuming I can get a tom close enough. I’ll let you know how it goes, and hopefully have some footage to post too.
