Who It’s For
This call is for the turkey hunter who values simplicity and effectiveness. It’s for the hunter tucked against a Missouri oak at dawn, needing to sound like more than one hen. It’s for the minimalist who doesn’t want a bag full of single calls. If you’ve mastered a box call and want the nuanced control of a friction call without a bulky setup, the Li’l Deuce is your next step. It’s also a fantastic backup—small enough that you’ll never leave it behind. At $11.48, it’s an accessible tool for both seasoned callers and newcomers learning the craft.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The double-sided design offers tonal variety without changing gear. Its compact size is a major advantage for still-hunting or when every ounce in your vest counts. The glass surface provides higher-pitched, crisp sounds that can cut through wind or distance. It’s a durable, no-frills tool that focuses purely on function.
Cons: Requires a separate striker, which is a minor additional purchase and something else to keep track of. Like all friction calls, performance is highly dependent on user technique and proper chalking. It may have a learning curve for hunters only experienced with diaphragm or box calls. Sound volume is limited by hand size and stroke pressure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does this call come with a striker?
A: Typically, no. The Hunters Specialties Li’l Deuce Double Glass Cal usually requires you to purchase a striker separately. This allows you to choose a striker material—carbon, wood, or glass—that matches your sound preference.
Q: Is it good for beginners?
A: It can be, but there’s a caveat. The physical technique is straightforward, but mastering the rhythm and pressure for realistic turkey talk takes practice. Beginners might find a box call easier to start with, but dedicated newcomers will appreciate the Li’l Deuce’s direct feedback and control.
Q: How do I maintain it?
A: Keep the glass and slate surfaces clean and dry. Re-chalk the surfaces regularly for consistent sound. Store it in a protective pouch or pocket in your vest to prevent the surfaces from getting scratched or gouged. A well-maintained call can last for seasons.

Final Assessment
Here’s the thing—in turkey hunting, sound is your primary weapon when you’re out of sight. The Hunters Specialties Li’l Deuce Double Glass Cal is a focused tool that amplifies your skills. It won’t call for you, but it gives you a versatile, reliable platform to work from. Is it the only call you need? Probably not, but its dual-purpose design and pocket-friendly size make it a logical choice for your essential kit. Pair it with a quality carbon striker from brands like Primos or Hunter’s Specialties for best results. For under twelve dollars, it’s a low-risk addition that provides high-reward potential in the spring woods. See if it fits your tactical approach to the hunt.
