Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting Which box call?

What Martin above said.
It really makes no difference, any box call will work. I use several and can tell no difference in the results.

Pretty much.



Depends what you wanna do.

Not ALL box calls are created equally. Some have WAY more realism in their sound than others. Some have a WAY better "roll-over" than others. Some will purr. Some will not. Some will kee-kee. Most will not. Tones vary...........and some will carry better than others. Some play softly better than others.

Boils down to how fine of a tool do you want to work with ?? And what is your budget ??

Lynch Foolproof.

Mentioned before. And not for no good reason.

Solid choice. Yep.

Marlin Watkins makes a good box

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I know YOU'RE right !!!

I've played a couple hundred Marlin boxes and have YET to find one that wasn't ALL turkey !!!!!

Do I detect a biased opinion? Lol! I still like, and have, a couple Quaker Boy box calls. Just about never carry them anymore though, but still mess with them.

No bias from me. 😉

It ain't bias if it's the truth.

I consider Marlin a friend and he makes an OUTSTANDING box call. He's probably been the most in-demand builder for the last 10+ years. There's a reason for that.

But there are a bunch of OTHER guys who put out incredible calls, as well.

Very good production call. 👍

Primos doesn't put out gimmicks. Just a LOT of really good box calls.

Billy White , hustlin’ hen. Great Box Call!!

White Feather.....bought in late 90's and have killed a lot birds with it. Forgot what paid for it, but for a call back then it was expensive. Looks like it never been used.

I've got a couple of Primos box calls and they are both very good. I have a Waterboard and a Foggy Bottom and not only do that produce great yelps and clucks, I can get good kee kees out of them.

I took the plunge and ordered a David Halloran Ebony & Walnut short box and a Ebony and Black Limba longbox. I've never had a long box before. There's a 4-5 week lead time on that one. Looking forward to getting them.

Can’t go wrong with the Lynch, especially the older ones.

You'll be a happy man come mailbox day.

My primary call is a home made wingbone yelper.

I have a Quaker Boy Grand Old Master that I've been taking out since the early 80s. The first time I stroked it, I had a gobbler answer. That's what got me forever hooked. It still keeps bringing them in.

My #2 son works a Lynch. He's been using it since he was a yute.

Is this considered a box call?! Doing some cabinet clean-out in my shop on this crappy January Saturday and came across this thing. Been a very long time since I used it...
