Title: Sound Files - 2 Hen Boxes
Post by: gergg on January 26, 2020, 02:56:34 PM
I made two Hen Boxes and these are the sound files that go along with them. They are both Teak & Snakewood. I forgot to take pics of them both, but they are very similar, so here is what they look like. You will also notice that I am not the best box call player, but I gave it a good go here. I ran the boxes on both sides and tried to run them softly too, they were very sensitive to light pressure and seemed to run good no matter how I bad I was...except a few times I really messed up....lol...Feel free to let me know what you think.

 Subdued calling on pressured birds pays dividends. I liked the soft calling done on that box.

Appreciate the feedback Tal. I hunt public land 99% of the time, so I always tend to play these things a little on the light side, and they must run softly or I won't even carry one. I haven't hunted much with boxes, but I am going to take one with me this year to see what kind of response I get. I want to test all kinds of wood combos, got a Black Walnut body almost finished, going to try a Purpleheart lid on it first......fun stuff!

Thanks guys, appreciate the thoughts.....as an FYI, I was down in a little hardwood bottom and the recorder/phone was approximately 25 yards away. The hardest part for me was playing the left hand side of the call with the right hand in a traditional calling position.
