Box Call Chalk

[Spyderman]

Long story short, I moved houses since last turkey season and I cannot find my box chalk. I'm trying to avoid a trip to Walmart. Is there any problem with using my kid's sidewalk chalk on my box calls?

I believe there are not the same type of chalk....

Sidewalk chalk should work ok.  You don't want any wax in the chalk combination.  It will really screw box up and cause you to use a lot of elbow time with a rag and rubbing alcohol to get the caller back in service.

How do you know if there's wax in the chalk?

No way to know for sure, and risk trashing your box call. So just order this online:

I've always been told by the call makers, to use railroad chalk

[Sir-diealot]

Do not use sidewalk chalk, it almost always has oils in it, this is what just about every maker told me when I asked this when I first got here. Railroad chalk, rain chalk, some carpenters chalk but I do not think all so I do not suggest any.

Order some box call chalk from Springhill right here on OG. Not expensive and is quality.

This is timely I need to find some chalk. I could not find any contact information on Springhill, could you provide a little more info? Thank you

Sidewalk chalk is not a good idea, most call makers have told me to avoid it due to oil or wax in the chalk that will ruin the box. You can order a half moon of blue carpenters chalk from David halloran for five bucks that will last you forever. Also, Irwin white railroad chalk from Amazon is a good option. Third, you can order chalk from markal that will suffice.

You can get in on amazon, bass pro, cabelas, Halloran's website there all kinds of places online to buy it from just google box call chalk. Pay the extra money for expedited shipping that's the price of doing business if you're concerned about going to Walmart and you need it quickly.

I actually found a large quantity of the red brick chalk thats extremely hard to find now on Ebay. Its the half moon blocks. I have enough to last many life times. One block would probably last a life time.
