What is your favorite long distance sounding calls? One that is your go to call on those winding days and just trying to strike a gobble from a gobbler. Few of my favorites is purpleheart lid over mahogany box, ceramic pot and crystal pot ..

Paddle call for sure. Sometimes a Quaker Boy aluminum in a black plastic pot I found on the clearance table for $5 paired with a maple striker I whittled with a knife.

99% of the time, its these two boxes, maple over persimmon long box and/or mac ebony over reclaimed chestnut mini boat. Or a Watkins chakte viga over black limba misfit, which just joined the vest a year ago. All can reach out with volume, and get super soft up close.

Don't go this year where youtubers went last year.

I think that's the time and place where the box call can't be beat.

A couple beauties! Another vote for a longbox here...also a glass pot call can cover some territory.

Yep, straight from Ralph. Handed it to me after a winter season hunt out of state few years back.

I luv long boxes but had great luck w a Loius Stowe glass call last year. Reached way out, & brought them in close. MIke

It's interesting you said purpleheart because I used a new Shoemaker pupleheart over poplar short box last season that really seamed to draw them in. It has quickly become a favorite "go to" proven winner.   In years past, a Steve Mann red cedar over butternut longbox that screams bloody murder was as loud as I ever needed to be.
