What do you use to carry your box call chalk ?   Do you think color of chalk makes a difference ?    I always use rain chalk with the striker conditioners.  What is your favorite chalk ?

Not the color that matters, its the oils that may or may not be present.

Only use Rain Chalk for my box calls anymore.  Need less of it too.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

I use the blue half round carpenter chalk.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I use white that Woodhaven sent me with a call purchase I have some brown I got from another call manufacture. As far as carrying it I use a plastic snap cap vial.

Spring creek calls had some good chalk

I use just plain white chalk and a snap cap vial.

I use blue carpenters chalk

Blue carpenter's chalk, but the best chalk I ever used was a yellow chalk that came with John Grayson's Lost John scratch box.  Smith Binney discontinued that formulation many years ago.

I use the blue half rounds carpenter chalk, I think it brings a little more rasp out of the call compared to white railroad chalk

I buy the kids sidewalk chalk at five and dime. All different colors.

I use the blue half moon shaped carpenters chalk as well.

Rain chalk here. I find the Rain Chalk has more "bite" than most other box call chalks, and seems to last longer. It also works better in humid conditions.

Any wax-less chalk will work. Do not use play chalk.

I give up on chalk a few years ago, and went to using pine rosin. I personally think it works better in damp conditions.
