Love hunting scratch boxes. If you have one made by Doug Camp you want to get rid of let me know.

I love them also, Bill. You may notice about 20 of yours in that stack. Unfortunately, never had a Camp scratcher.

I almost never leave without scratch box in the vest. I have at least as many if not more, haven't counted lately.

Same here. I have a big mess of scratchers and strikers too. Our fellow member here Boatpaddle would remember me suffering a bad case of scratchbox mania few years back.

Thanks to Boatpaddle, I carry a killer Ernie Fetters woodpile scratcher. Also carry one from Shadetree Callers that is a flat out runner, it even kee-kees easily (like having a long box shrunk down to fit in your shirt pocket).

Bob at Shadetree also made me a small scratcher from cherry and walnut that came from Dick Kirby's personal wood pile after he passed away that is priceless to me. Took it to the woods once and got on a big wood gobbler at daylight, chased him all morning and finally got the drop on him before quitting time. Put that little Kirby wood scratcher away after that.

That's similar to Steve Mann box call he made me that used Cypress given to him by Don Chancey. Pretty cool.

Drenslinld you were the one who inspired me years back from your posts/videos to give scratchers a try. Might now be my most used calls. Almost always start w one and somehow I’ve accumulated a good pile as well. Funny though cause I commonly use the same one or two very often
