Hen Box Recommendation

I received a snake / black limba from Matt Fulkerson this summer. It's the best sounding call I've ever heard. I can't wait to run it this spring, it's sure to drive a gobbler or two crazy.

I have decided I want another one. Not that I think another one will sound better than this one but one that will contrast. Matt has recommended snake/teak, snake/walnut and snake/apple.

For those who own multiple boxes from Matt what are some of your favorite combos and would contrast to snake/black limba.  Perhaps it's just the way he tunes them and not the wood at all.  I'm new to hen boxes but not turkey calling and I know enough that he makes an incredible call. I'm sure they don't all sound the same so I want to be able to mix it up some. Thanks.

I'd recommend bloodwood/ English walnut but if you must have snakewood then snake/ teak or snake apple in a M2. All very great calls.

Snake isn't a requirement but so far that's what Matt has recommended.

He had a teak at Turkey Trot, I came very close to buying that one instead, but that is just going on looks. They both sounded great.

Snake wood over Teak or Bloodwood over walnut. He also has some amazing Mahoe. Anything you get from Matt will be great and packed with turkeys. He's a great guy to deal with also.

Snakewood over just about anything. Out of a dozen hen boxes , my snakewood over English walnut is my favorite. Most all of my hen boxes wear a snake lid.

No it's not. The one he had up there was his M2 not his regular box.

I love my Bloodwood/Black Limba.  It is my favorite sounding call I own.

I will also agree that I really like the M2 version. That's what he had at Trot

No idea what I have but what is different with M2?

Love the pics of those henboxes.

I also got a one Sider while I was at trot and it's spectacular. Just another option to think about
