Lesser Mentioned Lyman Calls

[letinmfly]

Bill's pots and strikers receive lots of accolades but a lesser mentioned call is his box call.  Bill makes a real good box call as well.  Here are a coupe of them!!

Cherry/Wormy Butternut


Osage/Mineral Stained Poplar


One of the rarest of them all is his longbox.  Only a handful of these out there.  Top Call in pic.

It is all Cedar.   I believe Rickey, hunter22, has a Holly/Cedar longbox.  Maybe he'll chime in and post a pic of it and clarify the wood combo.

[Rick Howard]

Nice looking callers.  You have a pretty awesome collection.  I would really like to see some more of it.

I couldn't agree more Lou. Bill was one of my favorite callmakers before he became so popular. I picked up real quickly the man makes turkey calls that sound like turkeys. Here are a couple short boxes and a Red Cedar/Holly longbox. I called three gobblers we killed while running the Cherry/wormy Butternut a few years ago. I was telling Bill recently the all-Red Cedar short box may be one of the best sounding short boxes I own. I plan to hunt it this spring. I think Bill's passion in turkey calls is now with scratch boxes and he makes killers there also.

Rickey thanks for posting these calls.  I remember the first time I ran Bill's wormy Butternut call and it blew me away.  I ordered one immediately!! 

[Matt k]

Nice calls both of you

[Jgarrett]

I'm getting real jealous down here in Florida, lol....great calls!

Been a while since I made this type of box call. I told Rickey I sold my all cedar to Mike Joyner thinking I'll just build another one and never did. I miss that call. I've had some lids and boxes inlayed and checked sitting for at least five years. Maybe some day.  Rickey has the last long box I made.

Super calls Lou and Rickey! I have one of Bill`s Holly/Ebony turpin style callers.
