Sounds like a hen (cl#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g).
They aren't likely to be drawn in easily.
If there are toms in the area, then the slate call would be the way to go. The hens tend to follow the "alpha-male" and since he's on the prowl to increase his harem, he can be lured a little more easily.

I hope this was helpful.

Here's a true/funny story:
A couple of years ago we had a tom in our back yard (in Hyde Park) and thought it was neat seeing a turkey up close. As it wandered around our yard, I proceeded to make a turkey call (You know, that stupid "gobble, gobble sound.) but no reaction. Then I realized I was trying to call a male bird with a male call. I then tried a hen call (I can replicate the sound of a slate call quite well.) and th bird came running back and let loose a REAL gobble. I nearly laughed my off!
(I guess watching those hunting shows on weekend mornings paid off.)
