Title: First hen box.
Post by: chefrific on March 13, 2019, 02:52:43 PM
Always wanted a hen box. Richard Hudson came through in a big way! Snakewood lid and a pretty piece of teak with some curl. Going to take some learning on my end but this thing is FULL of a nasty hen. Soft calling is phenomenal and will get loud and mean when you 'put the pedal down'. Going to be a killer. Thanks Richard!

Beautiful.  Love the sound of Richard's hen boxes.  Turkeys do too.

Most certainly not. The more I run it, the more I like it. All the subtle and different little calls that can be made are awesome. The yelp sounds 'to my ear' more like a natural hen. I'm hooked. Killer call.
