Recommendations on a long box? Would like to have one before mid April.
Steve Mann. Boat Paddle Call. Cedar over Poplar/Alder. The guys from Mossy Oak called Steve when they wanted long boxes for the Mr Fox Vest. I don't go into the woods without the one in the picture.

Doesn't he have a long wait list or can you get a call from him rather quickly?

Ed Terefencko usually has some in stock. I have one and gave one to a friend. They are good ones.

Agreed on cedar/poplar and cedar/alder, but also can recommend cedar/butternut, cedar/mahogany, cedar/walnut, cedar/chestnut....if Steve builds it it will be all turkey.
Not sure where he's currently at with his list and wait times, but I do know that he's building calls for shows right now, he might have an extra available as part of that process if you call and talk to him.

Great advice here.
SS or McKamey
Someone else who makes a great long box is David Halloran: Look for his IPE over Black Limba or his Ebony over Black Limba ... ONE of his Ebony over Black Limba is on eBay now ....

I was considering a holster but I rarely have a belt as the pants I wear have suspenders and I don't know if I would like having it on my hip. Hoping to just put it in the box call holder on my Sitka vest, it will be sticking out and won't be able to close the lid but should be secure.

I saw that one on eBay and emailed him last week about when he would have some in stock. With the Mann coming soon and a Paul short box on order I will probably just wait. I mainly run pots and diaphragms because I run them best but wanted to add a couple box calls to my line up.

I hear you. That's why I got Yoder to make me a shoulder strap. I wear it across my shoulders where isthmus is out of the way and I won't sit on it. I can take it off easily and set it by the tree.

Hmm gears are turning now. Do you have a pic of this set up you got?

I have a hen box holder and just ordered a short box,good stuff!
I would recommend either one of David Halloren's long boxes or Roger Parks long box. Roger's is made of different materials and sounds awesome. He has a good sounding gobbler yelp. There my go to box calls.
