if you had to pick one DH box call to use which one would it be
Mac. Ebony over Walnut, I have two of them. They are the two best boxes I own.
I would say Macassar ebony over anything as Macassar is always a favorite( Voodoo wood ) of mine , but watching David kill em everywhere with the purple heart over cedar is going to make me tote mine this year !
Toss up between his purple heart over cedar and mac ebony over walnut. Both are great. Wish I could get my hands on both of those prior to his laser engraving days. Just don't care for laser engraving on a "custom" box. To each his own.
Turkeys certainly don't seem to mind.
thanks guys
Purple Heart over cedar is outstanding.. but so are his others.. you will not go wrong with any of his box calls..his box call leather holder is awesome..
I have the mac ebony over walnut and am very pleased. Wife ordered it with my name engraved for my birthday last year.
I gotta say my #1 favorite is Padauk over American Chestnut #2 is Walnut over butternut or Walnut over Ceder havent hunted the Walnut/Cedar yet boy does it sound good in the woods .
I would have to go different route , I would have his IPE / black limba longbox , it gives me more diversity in my options of calling birds .... this is if i could only have ONE ....
I have the ph/cedar and mac ebony/walnut they both sound great turkeys haven't heard em yet, so I can't wait.

my Halloran long box,,maple and purpleheart , from years ago..
Just from listening to soundfiles and watching videos I would say Macassar Ebony over Walnut. I have never heard any of his calls in person though.
Purple Heart and cedar is the most versatile box for me. It will make a wide range of calls. My favorite box for gobbler yelps but has a lot of hen to offer. I also have his walnut and butternut (2nd favorite) and the ebony and poplar.

Ipe/Black Limba long box is killer!!
Purple heart ceder
Purple heart and cedar is a killer for sure.
I've had both his purpleheart and cedar as well as his Mac ebony and walnut. Both are awesome that will kill turkeys every day of the week. My preference goes to the Mac ebony and walnut though. That's the one riding in my vest

I just recently got one of his Mac Ebony and Walnut... Would have to say its a great sounding call and will be with me this season. Very impressed with this call!!!
Purple Heart over Cedar. I also have the macassar over walnut, but like the PH/Cedar better
It's a tough call tho. Both are great calls and will both be in my vest this season.
