Title: Jeff McKamey combos
Post by: Jgarrett on March 13, 2018, 08:57:15 PM
Just curious...what is everyone's favorite combinations from Jeff?  Would love to see some pictures.  I am interested in ordering a couple from him.

I have several of his calls and they are all great calls . However I think his best combo is mineral stained poplar and bloodwood.  This call is  screamer - I struck a bird with it around 10 one morning that was about 400 yards away .  He gobbled all the way to the gun....

I'm gonna agree w that. I only have 4-5 from him and that one is the best sounding to my ear

I had someone else tell me that was his best as well.

Don't quote me on it but I believe bloodwood over mineral poplar is the combo he has won several of his awards with as well as champion of champions.

I only have one, a bloodwood over blue mahoe short box and it is a stellar call.

I would definitely look into one in that combo

Jeff shipped me a mora over butternut and a mora over mineral poplar short box two weeks ago. 
Both sound fantastic! 
Hillbilly Yelper recently posted a video of him running the mora over butternut.

I don't have one but it's coming,,go to his website and look at that rosewood/Alaskan yellow cedar short box,,or any of his in yellow cedar.

I have a butternut and bloodwood.  Very nice call.  Still learning how to run a long box.  I'm sure the call has far more potential than the user.

Here are my two long boxes. Top is maple over poplar and the bottom is kwila over butternut
They sound awesome and have worked their fair share of birds both Spring and Winter. The Maple/Poplar is responsible for my sons first bird.
Great boxes!

A terrific gentleman who makes a killer paddle call. Haven't heard one box of his I wouldn't gladly hunt.

Bloodwood/MSP, Bloodwood/Black Limba, Bloodwood/Butternut, Snakewood/Butternut are probably his most purchased and requested calls. But, anything he makes will be killer, or he won't let it go out the door. Best thing to do, is call him. Ask him what he likes at the moment. It depends on what the wood he has on hand is making. Some is better than others.

I talked to him yesterday...he was heading to FL, so I'm getting up with him in 2 weeks to discuss the 2 boxes I'm wanting built.  Never had a snakewood call.

I have a kwila/butternut like that and absolutely love it.  My favorite call by far.  Still can't make it sound as good as Jeff did when he played it for me though.
