In case turkey hunters here aren't checking the classifieds, maybe you'll want to know about the turkey call I make. It's a unique scratchbox and here's the link in the classifieds:

I think you'll like it. Waiting for the season to open here, making calls while I wait.

Thanks.
Steve.

I'll take one. Pm sent in a few minutes for address. Love stuff like that. I bought an old heaters scratch box at a yard sale last year, it sounds ds ok but I bought it as a collectable. I have a Doug Champ box and a Eddie salter box too. I love wooden calls of all types. I will use this one though.

EH,
Can you expand on your statement that not many wooden calls can make a two tone yelp?

If you run the soundboard in a circular motion on the strikerboard, you cover the areas that make both the high and low pitches. It takes a little practice to get the right spot, but I know of no other wooden call that can do it.

Thanks for asking.
Steve.

I'm not all that familiar with a scratch box but run box calls and pot/peg friction calls pretty handily. Two note yelps are easy peasy with the latter two and it surprised me when you made that statement. I just wasn't aware that the typical scratch box was incapable of a two note yelp.

Are you sold out?

Doing a seminar this week for a crowd of about 625 people on Thursday, then another for about 150 on Saturday. I should have enough to get through those two events, plus some mail orders.

I have about 50 ready for final sanding, finishing and tuning. So even if I run out, any orders that come in will be filled quickly.

Thanks.
Steve.

Steve, ordered one last week, approx. how long before shipping, Turkey season in Alabama in full swing.
Thanks

I ordered one last week, he shipped on Sat and i got it yesterday. who would have guessed that the USPS could get it done that fast!

Did you send a check, or order by PayPal? The only order I've had from Alabama was a PayPal order under the name "April." It was shipped on Saturday by First Class mail and the tracking number says it was delivered yesterday to the mailbox. Hope it's yours; if it's not, then I apparently didn't receive your order.

Let me know if there's a problem.
Thanks.
Steve.

Steve, you were correct got it yesterday have not had a chance to look at the call, had a Gideon meeting last night and yes the pay pal account is in my wife's name. Thank you very much.

Great. Thanks.

Steve.

I'm a little ahead of the game -- I have about a dozen finished right now and 25 more will be ready by the end of the week. Thanks to all who have expressed interest and the many who have already purchased one of my Northern Scratchbox calls.

All have a Pennsylvania Black Cherry body with a cedar soundboard.

Scratch calls are are about my favorites

Very impressed with the calls. Easy to use and great sounding. Fast shipping as well. I'm about to order two more for friends!

Just filled your order of one Cherry and one Maple. Although they sound the same (both have a Cedar soundboard), the Cherry is much more popular. You got the last Maple for a while.

Thanks. Don't forget to have your friends view the instructional video on my website, www.EverydayHunter.com/turkeycall.htm.

Appreciate it Steve, and thanks for the fast shipping. We are always looking for calls with a different sound or tone. I actually thought the Cherry had a softer tone over all than the Maple. I liked both calls. Figured I'd get one of each and let them decide which call they want. Hopefully I can put up a long beard picture this weekend killed using the call!

The difference in sound is more likely to come from the fact that the grain in the Cedar soundboard is slightly different. I can tell when I'm tuning them if the wood is a little harder or the grain is a little tighter. That will have at least as much difference as the main body of the call, because the main body isn't the part that vibrates. But then, your ears may be better than mine.

I've made a few dozen with walnut soundboards, but the harder woods are much more difficult to tune because it doesn't vibrate as much over the short span of the scratchbox size. When the walnut works, it has a higher pitch than the Cedar. I don't like to make the walnut version because I throw more of them away that I successfully complete.

Thanks. Hope to see your success photo.

Steve.

I can see that. Appreciate the insight from a builder's perspective. Look forward to using my call this weekend. I think it's the most versatile call in my vest now.

I've filled all the orders and received some pretty good feedback like this:

Another buyer reported three kills one morning with my Northern Scratchbox call. I have about 10 ready to go, and another 15 I'll have ready in short order, so if anyone still wants one I can fill the order.

If anyone has a success photo they can post, I'd appreciate seeing them. The Pennsylvania season begins Saturday. Hoping to post my own picture soon.

Many thanks to all, and to those who have yet to order -- www.EverydayHunter.com/turkeycall.htm.

Unsolicited positive comments like that help me know I've got something really good here. Right now, I have seven finished and ready to go. More by the end of the week.
