Title: New favorite box call
Post by: whiskey on April 08, 2012, 09:08:27 AM
I was a at the NWTF convention in Nashville and picked up a very small box call from Scott Wilper of http://www.wilpercustomcalls.com/default.html (http://www.wilpercustomcalls.com/default.html)

It's called a pocket rocket and is a really neat call. I have never been a big user of box calls, but this little sucker fits nice in my vest and sounds great. I have called in 3 gobblers with it in the last week. All 3 of these were gobblers that weren't responding to my slates or mouth calls.

I was surprised when I did a search and didn't find any info on Wilper Custom Calls, so I wanted to give him a little credit on a nice call.

That is a small one but nice.

Congrats on the gobblers.

As a fellow callmaker, I thank you.  Congrats on the gobbler.  I have not heard of Scott Wilper, but he must be good with initials like those :D ;)

Pretty sure mine is red cedar over walnut. I played with several he had on the table at the show and they all sounded nice. My buddy got a walnut over ?? Something, it sounds great too.

Those little calls sounded awesome and i have kicked myself many times since for not buying a couple. He also had some super LONG boxes. He had a limited edition of those little suckers with some wood from Leavenworth prison that had a great sound. I am so stupid for not buying a couple. Glad someone did. I knew they were killers.

I ran his boxes at the convention too. Very nice. I'm not a box call guy, pretty much the only reason I didn't buy one.

I called Scott today and ordered a walnut/purpleheart pocket rocket. He's a real nice guy that took the time to tell me about each wood combo availible. I cant wait to run it.

Just got my call in from Scott. He has great customer service and his call sounds awesome. If you don't have one I promise it's worth giving a try that things sounds downright turkey.
