A lynch deluxe foolproof Eastern 2003 version.   The sexiest one I have is a marlin Watkins bloodwood over apple..   I take one of those 2 every time I go.

To my ears it's my Watkins purpleheart over sycamore but we will see what the birds think this spring. Last year it was my Watkins bloodwood over butternut.

Turpin style - Doug Morgan Orange Agate over Sassafras
Cost style - David Halloran Macassar Ebony over Walnut

I've hunted the Morgan box and it's turkey approved. Got the Halloran after last season so time will tell but I bet it'll be well received as well.

noisy box call that seems to sound like a flock of juvenile hens pecking their way through a wheat field
