Who here hunts with one of David Hallorans box calls? I've wanted to add one of his to my collection for a few years. I finally ordered one today, macassar Ebony and figured walnut. What are your favorite wood combinations with his calls?

Ebony over Poplar, Purple Heart over cedar and the Walnut over butternut are my 3 favorites of his.

I've never owned a Halloran anything, but I've heard his purpleheart/cedar on youtube and to my ear it is one of the best short boxes I've heard.

I have two of his boxes, Purple heart over Cedar and the Macassar Ebony over poplar.  I prefer the Purple heart over Cedar myself. :gobble:

Purpleheart over Cedar has a great raspy barky yelp to it.  It has brought several gobblers to the end of the gun barrel.  His Ebony over Poplar is a real player too, great response with that one as well.  My Jatoba over Elder sounds similar to the Ebony over Poplar, but has a higher front.

Definitely the Purple Heart over Cedar. :turkey2:

purpleheart over wormy chestnut is my favorite, and a close second is Padauk over american chestnut, and third is purpleheart over poplar

I have an ebony/poplar and a purpleheart/cedar both are great calls but I prefer the ebony.

I have an ebony/poplar and a purpleheart/cedar as well but I prefer the ebony also, both are very good.

I do not own any of his box calls, but man that dude sure can run one. I have 2 of his pot calls so a box may be next.

Ebony/Poplar in my vest since 2010.

I have high hopes for the ebony/walnut I ordered. While on the phone with David he mentioned he killed a lot of turkeys with it last year and it's quickly becoming one of his favorite combinations. We'll find out soon.
