It's easy to see I'm fairly fond of Ernie Fetters' longboxes. This is another absolutely jam-up call from Mr. Ernie. Rosewood lid on a Wormy Chestnut body with Sycamore inlays that don't show good in this picture. Yet again he's made a looker that has the sound to go right along with it! Thanks for the look fellas!

Beautiful call Nick!
Thanks fellas and thank you Doug! She's a winner no doubt about it!
:icon_thumright: awesome looking call right there, I bet it sounds great coming from Ernie, I live about 45 minutes from Ernie and have several of his calls.
Another beauty Ernie!
Nyhunter I live about 15 hours South of him and feel like I'm 45 minutes away! Lol. As fine of a gentleman as they come and I can't get enough of his calls. I own a fair share from Ernie and look to add a many more as long as he's turning them out!
I like it. :icon_thumright:
I have several yelpers from Ernie and they are all turkey. He makes great calls but he is a great person. Top Shelf in my book
Congrats on that great call from a great callmaker.
Another great caller! Congrats Coop
I couldn't agree more about Ernie being a great guy, He welcomed my best friend and I into his Garage to look at his wood shot and run call's. that ended up being an all afternoon get together talking about everything from turkey hunting,family,life...ETC.ETC. It was as if we'd know each other for years.
Coop, what is your favorite wood combo in a long box from Ernie?
Crenshaw I have his all sycamore, all cedar, Osage over butternut, and the rosewood over chestnut. They all shine in their own way. I'd without question take any one of them in the woods and I will be doing so come spring but if you forced me to pick just one I'd have to say it's a tie between the Osage/Butternut or the Rosewood/Chestnut. Both of those can play every turkey sound in the woods from a Kee to a gobbler yelp with about 6 different hens in the middle depending on where you play it or how you cant the lid. The other two can run just as good if not better but they run a little "cleaner" yelp than the Osage or Rosewood. I tend to gravitate towards a nasty yelp more than a clean yelp and that's just personal preference!
I seen this post and just couldn't take it any longer...i have a rosewood/chestnut coming to me real soon...i love longboxes and this will be my 1st from Ernie!
You made a wise choice buddy! Let me know how you like it when you get it!
Received the rosewood/chestnut lomgbox from Ernie...its a killer..really like the sound...guess I am gonna have to get another...i like raspy as well. ..osage/butternut will be next...they are full of hens!!
The only other longbox that had as many turkeys in it as Ernies is a Billy Bush, and Ive had them all...
Good to hear Jed!! You'll love the Osage/Butternut as well! That one is the easiest playing without a doubt and has some serious nastiness in it.
I have six of his long boxes and two short ones and a few scratchers. About everything he makes is stellar. My favorite longbox that Ernie makes is the osage over wormy chestnut, followed closely by his sycamore over holly. I can honestly say that every call that Ernie has made for me could be my favorite any given day. They all have that real hen quality and they all have that classic look that I love.
Only trouble is, which one to carry first. I don't see me going afield without one or more of Ernie's calls.
AND, like everybody has said, Ernie is a genuinely nice man.
If you need a great scratcher/short box/ long box, you won't go wrong with any of ernie's calls.
I want to thank all you guys for the good feed back on my calls, You have me standing here with my chest sticking out. The only reason I make calls is because of all the guys like you that like and buy my calls. You guys keep me going, Thank you very much. Ernie

Well Ernie, credit where credit is due...
You have every reason to strut. Puff right up brutha'. You deserve every accolade!
If any of you fellas are looking for a stellar longbox, Ernie makes some of the best!
