Recommendations on a long box? Would like to have one before mid April.

Steve Mann.  Boat Paddle Call.  Cedar over Poplar/Alder.  The guys from Mossy Oak called Steve when they wanted long boxes for the Mr Fox Vest.  I don't go into the woods without the one in the picture.

Doesn't he have a long wait list or can you get a call from him rather quickly?

Ed Terefencko usually has some in stock. I have one and gave one to a friend. They are good ones.

A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

Over time...they come to learn how little air a good yelper actually requires. ChesterCopperpot

Agreed on cedar/poplar and cedar/alder, but also can recommend cedar/butternut, cedar/mahogany, cedar/walnut, cedar/chestnut....if Steve builds it it will be all turkey.

Not sure where he's currently at with his list and wait times, but I do know that he's building calls for shows right now, he might have an extra available as part of that process if you call and talk to him.

Real good. Now you need to get a leather holster from Yoder for your new call.

Someone else who makes a great long box is David Halloran: Look for his IPE over Black Limba or his Ebony over Black Limba ... ONE of his Ebony over Black Limba is on eBay now ....

I was considering a holster but I rarely have a belt as the pants I wear have suspenders and I don't know if I would like having it on my hip. Hoping to just put it in the box call holder on my Sitka vest, it will be sticking out and won't be able to close the lid but should be secure.
