Need some opinions .
I want to get a premium box call for someone as a gift. Think I've decided to get one from SS Custom Calls.
It's for someone that is letting me come up to KY and deer hunt this year. I know that he is a big time turkey hunter and thought a premium personalized call would be a good way to say thanks.
Not sure If i should go with a short or long box, what do you think?
Either will work great. I use a short box. Just easier to carry and fits well in most every vest. With a long box you usually need a holster. Do not think you can go wrong either way, but if I had to choose for most turkey hunters I would go with a short box. Love my SS box.
I would send him a short box. He'll love both but odds are much greater that he'll use the shorty.
short box- ss calls make great calls I love their brick checkering
Short Box,easier to carry.
SS short box can't have to many of those.
Devil's advocate here.....if he already turkey hunts a lot he may have personal calls he already uses. And a longbox would make a nice gift or collectible item. And it can still hunt. If it's for the mantle as a sentimental gift I would go long.

Yea, that's what got me thinking about a long box.
First of all, an SS box would be great no matter which size you choose. Personally I would go with a longbox. IMO more versatility, a box that can do anything from kee kee to gobble and everything in between.

I agree w kentuckyheadhunter, if the guy hunts he almost certainly has a box but maybe not a long box. Be cool to give him a call he doesn't already have, but the short boxes getting more field use thing since they're smaller is prob right as well.
SS make some awesome calls
Maybe a short box/scratch box set? Those SS scratchers are deadly and not a lot of people are running now them in the woods
