Is a Tom gaskins call considered a scratch box call? Does anyone here use one?  Thanks

I believe it would be considered a scratch box, I have one but though I like the sound I do not care for it, seems like it was built for a left hander, when played right handed the cork falls out that holds the chalk in. Greg will give you more detail than I can, he likes these quite a bit as i recall.

The older version is better than the newer ones... But yes it's like a scratch box...

It is a scratchbox in the Kenward style, and a well made one is a great call. Agree with Greg the older ones made by Tom Sr are better callers. With a little practice anyone can learn to be plenty proficient to kill a turkey. A great ambidextrous and easy to carry call.
