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.
