This is the first installment of a series of threads that I will post showing how to get the most from your box call.

[/align]I know most of this you already know, so bare with me cuz I'm try'n to put this together to be able to help anybody. I'm sure you'll pick up a couple things if not and you know another way, show me. I'm always look'n for a new way to run a call.

[/align]When running a box call hold the box as if holding the forearm of a rifle. Hold the paddle handle loosely as if an extension of your arm. You want to create a wrist-like point were your fingers connect with the handle.

This first photo shows a loose hold of thehandle creating a hinge point.

[/align]Don't pinch off the paddle.

[/align]

[/align]For a plain Yelp, while holding the box keep your fingers off the box sides. Create a swivel like connection with your hold of the paddle handle.

Run the call at the closed end, for a yelp use minimal pressure playing the call from about a 5:00 o'clock position to nearly a 6:00 o'clock position on the right side of the box.

[/align]or a 7:00 o'clock to nearly a 6:00 o'clock position on the calls left side.

The call can also be held paddle away often creating a slightly different Yelp.

The box up method, running a box call in this mannermay seamsomewhat awkward but will create yet another Wild Turkey voice. Ihave had customers that prefer this method. Thiswill often createthe highest pitch Yelp.
