Long Box Thoughts

[TJ3152]

Who all uses a long box a good bit during the spring season? I got one from Marlin Watkins a couple of years ago and I use it on just about every hunt. I assume I may be in the minority on this, but curious what others think. Thanks for your comments!

I always carry a longbox, it is my best turkey hunting tool.  Unmatched versatility.

I have a Steve Mann Cedar over Yellow Poplar that is always with me.  This call seems to always get a response.

Snodgrass special in a Yoder holster, always on my belt.

My favorite call to use! Many hunts are just the long box and an easy to run mouth call in case I can't finish the deal with the box.

I carry one on every hunt whether it's Spring, Fall or Winter season. I've been carrying a Watkins Yellowheart over Black Limba the past few years and it has been the key to a few hunts. That box was used on 2 hunts this past Spring and was the demise of 2 birds.

What combo Watkins do you have?

My favorite is a SSCustom maple over butternut. Always gets the gobblers fired up!

I love them, very versatile calls that can do so much in the right hands

I think I have a couple of them.

Did somebody say "hunting with a Watkins fiddle paddle" ??  Sounds like a good idea !!

Halloran Ipe over Black Limba and I roll together on nearly every hunt......

I much prefer a high quality long box over a short box. I'm at the point now of considering selling my short boxes and picking up another high quality long box. Better range of sounds and more versatile. A short box and paddle ride just the same in my Glenda Green satchel so transporting them is a moot point.

I use both a long and a short, depends on the day. Sometimes I will change up between longboxes, I have 4 to choose from and I try to get them all some action. The same goes for the short boxes.

This boatpaddle style long box has been the cause of death of a fair number of old gobblers......

I carry a lot of short boxes, but carry the Halloran Longbox a lot. I have both of his, the Ipe/Black Limba & the Ebony/Black Limba wood.  I prefer the Ebony paddled call.
Extremely versatile call and always gets 'em gobbling. And it really pisses off a hen that has locked down a Tom.
