Short or long box for a gift

[Muzzy61]

Need some opinions .

I want to get a premium box call for someone as a gift. Think I've decided to get one from SS Custom Calls.

It's for someone that is letting me come up to KY and deer hunt this year. I know that he is a big time turkey hunter and thought a premium personalized call would be a good way to say thanks.

Not sure If i should go with a short or long box, what do you think?

Either will work great.  I use a short box.  Just easier to carry and fits well in most every vest.  With a long box you usually need a holster.  Do not think you can go wrong either way, but if I had to choose for most turkey hunters I would go with a short box.  Love my SS box.

I would send him a short box. He'll love both but odds are much greater that he'll use the shorty.

SS short box can't have to many of those.

 Devil's advocate here.....if he already turkey hunts a lot he may have personal calls he already uses.  And a longbox would make a nice gift or collectible item.  And it can still hunt.  If it's for the mantle as a sentimental gift I would go long.

Yea,  that's what got me thinking about a long box.

First of all, an SS box would be great no matter which size you choose. Personally I would go with a longbox. IMO more versatility, a box that can do anything from kee kee to gobble and everything in between.

I agree w kentuckyheadhunter, if the guy hunts he almost certainly has a box but maybe not a long box. Be cool to give him a call he doesn't already have, but the short boxes getting more field use thing since they're smaller is prob right as well.
SS make some awesome calls

Maybe a short box/scratch box set? Those SS scratchers are deadly and not a lot of people are running now them in the woods
