New Favorite Turkey Calls & A Modern-Day KUIU Turkey Vest
Spring Turkey Calls From Knight & Hale, Woodhaven Custom, Plus KUIU Enters The Turkey Vest Market
Ah, spring has just about sprung in the editorial offices of Hook & Barrel Magazine. To get your gobbler juices flowing, in the March-April 2025 issue of Hook & Barrel Magazine, we put a spotlight on a few calls and one very new and innovative turkey vest we’re planning to put to work this season. Listen up, y’all, these new turkey-hunting products are worth your consideration.
Knight & Hale HD Long Range Hen Box Call
Knight & Hale has been making premium box calls for decades, and the HD Long Range Hen certainly fits into that category. Good for seasoned gobbler chasers and novice turkey hunters alike, the double-sided call allows the user to make two different hen tones, increasing the chances of fooling a wary wild turkey. If you love using box calls, this is one you’ll want to have in your turkey vest. MSRP: $49.99. (knightandhale.com)
Knight & Hale Ol’ Yeller SLA-TEK Pot Call
Knight & Hale has revived one of the most iconic turkey calls ever made—the Ol’ Yeller SLA-TEK Pot Call. With a custom SLA-TEK striking surface, this easy-to-use call produces clear and raspy yelps, clucks, cuts, and purrs. With a pot made of premium walnut, the call includes a two-piece yellowheart striker, which is ideal for creating clear or raspy sounds depending on your hunting situation. MSRP: $89.99.

WoodHaven Custom Calls THP (The Hunting Public) Box Call
With a maple box and Osage lid, the THP (The Hunting Public) Box Call produces slightly higher-pitched two-tone yelps, cuts, and cackles than most other calls on the market. A favorite among the WoodHaven crew, it will likely soon be a favorite in turkey woods all across the country. MSRP: $95. (woodhavencustomcalls.com)
KUIU Rival Turkey Vest
Set up in total comfort this spring with KUIU’s revolutionary Rival Turkey Vest. Its new patent-pending innovations—the BackTrack quick-deploy (and removable) seat and the LeanLock back support system—will allow you to set up quickly and comfortably anywhere. Other key features include silent pockets for your box, slate/pot and mouth calls, a backpack for extra gear and hydration, an integrated shell holder, and a decoy/game carry bag. MRSP: $249.
