Box calls

[KY-Hunting]

I feel honored that I have so many big named people commenting on my post.

I carry WAY too many calls in my vest but a Spring Creek longbox (Sassafras over Butternut) has a special place. Love a longbox for the variety of sounds you can get out of them...Have a new one coming from Spring Creek. It'll be a purple heart over cedar (longbox). I'm guessing somebody else is going to have to move out to make room!

I always had the ones that where loose and squawky.

They all are until you do something about them. Go to Lowes and get you one of those Velcro strips that you put around garden hoses or extension cords. Place the wide end between the lid and the rails, wrap underneath and back up. Problem solved!

 I carry  lots of different calls , but the long box is my go to call. I've killed more turkeys with a long box than any other call. But you should carry the calls that you run and sound the best with.

x2 or you can get a chalkbox built for you box call. They will keep the paddle off of the lid but like Mark said you will still have to have something to keep the lid secured. Velcro works great get enough for two because if you are like me you will lose it.

I guess I am more of a traditional turkey hunter, I predominantly use box calls and friction calls. I have used diaphragm calls and really do not care for them; I just enjoy making my own calls and using them to hunt turkeys. Between the two types of calls I can make any type of turkey vocalization that is needed at any given time. I would not consider using a "store bought call"; I used store bought calls and had some success, but which I switched to custom calls my success rate went up dramatically.
