Title: One Box, One Pot, One Horn...Who are you carrying?
Post by: ChesterCopperpot on May 24, 2020, 03:28:18 PM
If you were limited to carrying one box, one pot, and one horn, what are you taking with you in the woods?

I'll go first,

Box Call: Albert Paul walnut over poplar short box
Pot Call: David Halloran Metal Mouth II with one of his ipe strikers

Marlin "Don" Watkins  Alaska Yellow Cedar over Service Berry Longbox

Promised I would not name him when he gave it to me but it was made from a Maple Tree taken from (Omitted) It was stabilized and the brass parts and Buffalo horn mouth piece are adjustable from a young hen to a old Tom. If forced to name one then I would name my Yelper from Tony Ezolt.

Trading the box call for a diaphram, I wont say which one, the pot call will be a Lon Trice and the trumpet will be a wingbone call or cane yelper.

I think most people lock Cody down to pot calls and sleep on his boxes. I'm more surprised by the lack of Anthony Ellis and Herb Hornstra trumpet love.

I have a ton of pots, but I do know one thing-the 2 piece dymondwood striker I have from Clay Townsend plays on everything. It's probably more important than whatever pot I decide to use. I should probably order more strikers from the guy as a backup

SS Kwilla/b-nut
Cody legend or CT Osage glass

I could hunt the rest of my days with just the legend but these are the 4 calls in my vest last year or two.  And I got calls from almost everybody in this thread.

Way to go opening poster!
:newmascot:
Now I need to get one of each for my addiction................lol
Amazing to see all the different answers.
I'll be a bit different here:

OLD Lynch Foolproof 101 This call still sounds amazing
Halloran Crystal Mistress
No answer for the other one. Never learned to use one.

Box - bloodwood/butternut Terry Baker
Pot - halloran twisted sister with lyman dylumax
Horn - can't run one so I'd choose a scratch box
Scratch box - SS holly english walnut with purple heart striker
Mouth call - savduck batwing

That line is basically what's in my vest 90% of the time with maybe another scratch box and 2 more mouth calls

Box - Josh Farley Bloodwood over Limba small talk
Pot - Buster's Osage Glass double sider or one of Nathan Taylor's slates depending on the weather. Purple's a winner right now
Horn - Don't own one yet, so I'll have to say I always keep my Daryal Gosey crow call tied to my chest rig.

That'll be my opening lineup this season anyway. See how the pot lineup looks after the first week!
