box call?

[skimerhorn]

What kind of box calls do you guys use? I'm in the market for a decent one that won't break the bank, was considering a lynch call. Are there any other good fair priced ones out there?

Skimer, about 25 years ago I bought H.S. Strut Field Champion Natural and I've calls a lot of birds with it.

2 years ago I was hunting in the Low Country Swamps with a buddy. He called this bird from across the river. When we heard him hit the back he said to me : Give that Yankee caller a shot. I hit the Strut and as the bird was coming over the bank he started gobbling . Strut had him fired up. Cheep call but it's been a killer. Same year I called 3 Toms from 400 yards on a windy day. Took them 45 minutes to get to me and at 15 yards drop the one who gobbles back at the Strut from 400 yds.

I also have a Hunter's Specialties box call that I like a lot.

You can't go wrong with either of the two mentioned. I do not use them but I do own the HS .and a few others.......good luck this season......

Not sure , but I would just buy some mouth calls and practice daily with them. Can't beat them. You can do it, even if you think it sounds like shit. I have all sorts of calls but I like to travel light.

I carry a variety of calls so that I can sound like multiple hens, since I have more than one hen decoy

I have a few different calls. The one that I "WILL NOT LEAVE BEHIND" is the Mystic call. It works in the rain and I often will hunt in the rain or soon after and I want a call that works.
NOTE: after a few years the black stuff wears off and you will have to by another call.

I picked up a lynch world champion call

I have used the Ben Lee twin hen to call up more toms than I can count.

I have and use an old Lynch World Champion model that was made in 1958. It's been a good one. I even had to glue a piece of the box back together several years ago, and it didn't make any difference in the sound. I also use HS Struts' diaphragm calls, an HS Strut slate call, and just purchased one of the new Flextone "Thunder Chicken" calls. I keep going back to the old Lynch every time I hunt 'em, which has been 5 times since the season opened on March 15th.

If hens were legal, I'd already have my 5 bird limit.
