Title: Box calls and foul weather
Post by: WVLungbuster on February 07, 2021, 05:37:18 PM
Not specifically looking for a call for rainy weather, just wondering if hunters are using higher end custom calls in wet weather?

Depends on how "wet" the wet weather will be. If its forecasted to rain, I'll run my Woods Wise all weather box (green scotch brite and a screw driver got that call dialed in).

If its light showers or intermittent rain, I'll carry a custom mini boat paddle in the vest. Just picked up a Watkins misfit, that will go in the vest on those days as well.

Put them in a bread bag and keep on calling! Their made to hunt, so hunt them.

   I dont use my custom call$ in the rain, I use standard production calls because I dont have to worry about damage and you know what, they work too!

Yes inside the bread bag. Even with good calls. Works great

I'll add something about the bread bag trick. It doesn't weigh anything and could be stored in a vest for just anytime needed. Imagine being caught without it? What would you do quit on your only day to hunt this week if it suddenly started raining some? That's what it does in spring.
