What do you use to carry your box call chalk ? Do you think color of chalk makes a difference ? I always use rain chalk with the striker conditioners. What is your favorite chalk ?
Not the color that matters, its the oils that may or may not be present.
Only use Rain Chalk for my box calls anymore. Need less of it too.
I use the blue half round carpenter chalk.
Good question....i got grey..green...white....and red...was wondering myself!!
I have a ton of red, also have some rain chalk that I liked last year
I use white that Woodhaven sent me with a call purchase I have some brown I got from another call manufacture. As far as carrying it I use a plastic snap cap vial.
Spring creek calls had some good chalk
I use just plain white chalk and a snap cap vial.
I use blue carpenters chalk
Blue carpenter's chalk, but the best chalk I ever used was a yellow chalk that came with John Grayson's Lost John scratch box. Smith Binney discontinued that formulation many years ago.
I use the blue half rounds carpenter chalk, I think it brings a little more rasp out of the call compared to white railroad chalk
I buy the kids sidewalk chalk at five and dime. All different colors.
I use the blue half moon shaped carpenters chalk as well.
Rain chalk here. I find the Rain Chalk has more "bite" than most other box call chalks, and seems to last longer. It also works better in humid conditions.
Any wax-less chalk will work. Do not use play chalk.
I give up on chalk a few years ago, and went to using pine rosin. I personally think it works better in damp conditions.
I've used red/brown looking Primos, white, green, & Rain Chalk. Seems like some calls prefer one over the other but I like the Rain Chalk the best.
I have never needed rain chalk since I don't hunt in the rain. However, I have had a number of mornings where dew chalk would have come in handy.

Rain chalk is something you may need to look about using...It's really a great chalk and you can get it with the striker conditioner ... maybe you need a pair of hip boots for the dew....
Rainchalk here, use the one with striker conditioner

Plain white "chalkboard chalk," has waxes in it that can ruin a call. I do not know about sidewalk chalk, but my understanding is some of the sidewalk chalk can also have some wax is in it that can damage a call.
I have a bunch of light brown call chalk that I bought from WingSupply at $.10 each, and it works all right. I am going to order some Rainchalk this year just to see if it works any better though.
