Title: Scratchbox get's it done
Post by: SS Calls on April 11, 2016, 11:38:48 AM
 What an awesome time Josh and I had in the woods this morning. Heard several gobblers on the roost. Got this one fired up around 7:30 with the little scratch box. After about 25 minutes of soft calling occasionally he hadn't budged. Just stood over on the ridge gobbling.. So I decided to crank things up a little. I started cutting on the scratch box and he went crazy. I saw him cross a branch headed toward us in a full run. Just got the gun up and waited for him to show. Didn't take but a few seconds. Great morning!

Nice bird! Your calls have so much turkey in them I'm surprised they don't fly off when you shoot.

Look at that. Can't believe that little scratch box called that big gobbler in to his death sentence. Lol

Congrats Al. That appears to be a Primos vest as well. If that's the case, we may have more in common than I'd thought. Great job man.

Yea I know. You'd think they would sound like a mouse by the size of them.  :TooFunny:   That is indeed a Primos vest Kris. I've had that thing for many years. Not sure exactly how many. 
Thanks for all the congrats guys!

I'm going on 11 years with mine. Keep telling myself I want a different vest until I look at one or try one on. Then I back out thinking that the one I've got is just fine. Mainly because I know where everything is in the vest. Scared that the new pockets will mess me up in a hurry. Lol. Again, congrats Al. now get Josh out there and hammer another one.

Congrats Al. No better way to call in a gobbler than using a scratch box IMO. By the way I still have my original Lynch Long Beard vest that I bought in 89. Don't use it for much other than my scouting trips. The Elite III holds more stuff. :turkey2:

Bill, I agree totally! I've used scratch boxes for several years. They're definitely one of the most realistic sounding calls I've heard in the woods.  The Primos vest is only the 2nd vest I've owned in 30 years of turkey hunting. They're built tough. I don't baby it and it still looks almost new.
