Why do you have multiple box calls?

I like them all!

As I have said in the past I enjoy all the different woods, they remind me of my father who collected antique furniture and all the different wood type and the magnificent grains they all had. I also have said that turkey are like human men, some like blonds, some like brunettes, I like redheads and I want a hair color for every turkey in the woods. I also like giving calls away to newcomers, especially youngsters.

I have a bunch because I'm a box call guy. I use them. I don't collect them. I have plenty that now look bad because of the use. Weather takes a toll. But again, I use mine rain, snow, sleet or sunshine. But they still sound great. So now, when it's rainy, I take the ones already weather beaten.

I'd say the majority of the birds I've killed have come from the hands of a box. I keep 2 in my vest (yes I have a vest with 2 box call pockets and won't consider a vest that doesn't). When I travel, I have 4 with me just in case. I've lost a few, still can't place where.

They all have a different pitch too. Box calls are the best. You can never have enough lol

Why do I have multiple box calls? I don't know.

But I needed a little Van Cise added to my life. This came the other week, quite the box call in sound and looks.

I can tell you one reason I do.  One year I stepped on my box call while in the woods and broke it.  I carry a spare incase I do something stupid like that again

Call the maker and let them know what sound you are looking for and don't get hung up on a specific wood combination. It can make the difference between getting a good call and a great call.
I have several sets of calls from the same maker in the same wood combinations that sound nothing alike.

I never hunt with a box, but I still own 3 or 4 nice ones. I have built a bunch of boxes myself, and just love the process of building/tuning/running them. Most guys build one better than me, so I own theirs and burn mine...lol....Not sure what it is about a box call in the woods, I just can't get comfortable with one.

I make my own Cost style boxes. Each sounds a little different. Purpleheart over anything is generally louder and sharper, while a Sapele over Ambrosia Maple is toned down and easier to call softer on. Same with Heart Pine. I keep 2-3 on me when I hunt and just see what the turkey wants to hear because they all sound different! Once I kill a bird with one I retire it and move to a different one.

I have a few. The box is my main call. Couple have been given to me by friends that made them. Nothing fancy they just work. I use to carry 3 in my vest. I change them during the season. Out of all the box call used to take birds my lynch have  taken the most. I as I've gotten older I carry less. I guess you can say I cut my teeth on the box call. Good day.

I have 4 nice ones but only carry 1 in my vest. They are bulky and awkward to me. I much prefer a pot call.

If someone made a vest with 3-4 box holders and 1 pot holder, I would own it.  Currently have a "Yoder Toter" attached to my vest to increase my capacity to 2 boxes.  I typically carry 1 that is higher pitch and 1 that is lower pitch.

My newer lynch is the worst one I own.  It is not one of the "originals" like my dad had from the 80s...because I sat on that one and broke it.  Soul crushing day right there...

I would own that vest too. Instead I use a tactical belt with a magnetic buckle, easily clips on and off, and is comfy.
