I was wondering everyone's favorite wood combos for 1, box calls and 2, paddle calls. None of us have heard all the combos out there. What better source for information than here. My favorite for paddle call is bloodwood over mahogany, for box call purpleheart over cedar.
We wait all year,why not enjoy the longbeard coming in hunting for a hen, let 'em' in close !!!
