MeatEater X Phelps Crystal Over Slate Turkey Pot Call

Once this handcrafted pot call has been prepped and tuned, it will coax in the most call-shy gobblers in damn near any conditions. The walnut pot, crystal surface, slate soundboard, and hickory-tipped striker join to make realistic clucks, purrs, and high-pitched, two-tone yelps.

Directions for prepping your Phelps pot call:

1. Use the supplied conditioning stone (for both crystal over Padauk and aluminum over glass) to prepare the playing surface.
2. You will want to make a conditioned area about 1 inch by 1 inch. For a right-handed caller, the area will be to the right of center. For a left-handed caller, the area will be to the left of center. Feel free to adjust the conditioned area as needed for comfort and feel.
3. For Crystal and Aluminum: Run the conditioning stone in a left to right motion until the crystal/aluminum appears white and frosted.

Directions for using your Phelps pot call:

Once the pot is conditioned, you will run the striker vertically (top to bottom) across the scratches. Make the following calls with the striker in the conditioned area:

• Yelp: (Right-Handed) make continuous “J” strokes. (Left-Handed) make continuous “J” strokes.
• Purr: Lightly drag the striker downward across the pot. Cluck: Use quick top-to-bottom
• High Pitch: Move toward the edge.
• Low Pitch: Move toward the center
