So.............. If I'm limited to ONE box call.......... you may as well shoot me.    :z-guntootsmiley:

But, going by what I carried last year and will be toting around this year, as well........and likely for years to come........

Watkins bridge design fiddle box.  Macassar over persimmon.

H.S. Strut Field Champion Box Call. It's what I used when I started tagging along on turkey hunts with my grandfather, and I've been lucky enough to carry the same exact call with me since then.

Unfortunately, the call was in rough shape and I didn't want to do anymore damage to it. After a quick Google search, I learned that they no longer made the call and I pulled the trigger on a newer model of the call on eBay. As long as it works I'll forever carry it with me into the woods.

Old Ike Ashby calls are worth a look at. I have a Ashby box with a top built and tuned by Swiney Rayfield that's as good as the best.

Count me out also on one box .... Naw I don't wanna play.. lol
I have  been toting a Lamar Williams mosdrilled shop box for the last 3 years . It gets it's fair share of use but I always have 4 or 3 in the truck and maybe a Fulkerson  hen box riding in the back pocket of the vest where real turkey hunters don't carry turkeys ...
So I really won't be limited to one ... Sorry

Watkins Mac ebony over red heart that box flat out runs

If only one box was a consideration why would anyone not want a longbox? It does everything a short box does and more. Way more versatile. A short box would limit you. SS or McKamey is what I use and carry. If only a short box it could be many variations of a Watkins.

Starting this season with the Basehore yellowheart/mahogany and the Shoemaker pupleheart/ mineral poplar, oh wait that's two boxes. But in my world a longbox and a short aren't the same thing. Same genus, different species.

Nothing special, but I wish I would've grabbed one of the Cody Mossy Oak Old School series when I had a chance. Was gonna get one and life stepped in the way and had put that idea on hold, when I ready to buy, no more where available.
