RE: tuning your box call
 

well I have sat beside BT against a tree and listened to the box music and it sounds sweet to me. I'll take you up on that AH.

I read that NWTF thing and sure didn't seem right to me. It makes sense Shallow what you're saying. You buy a custom made box and the guy who did it is an expert at setting it up for you. You buy a manufactured call and it's spends a couple season in your vest and eventaully you want to tune it.

It's like a gutiar. I have seen some play it awesome but hand it off when it gets out of tune for someone who has theknack to tune it back.

I'd get with Adrian if I were you, he's probably a master at rework'n manufactured calls.
But I would think oledick would hook him up with a good'n.

I gotta believe some call maker was taken Rob Keck for the kinda ride he takes this whole country. LMAO

I'm really not sure why I am getting knifes tossed at me when I expressed my opinion on what I do with box calls.

I open the same packages as everyone else that buys a call from the shelf and I use up a tag or two each season too.

I never cut up any call makers here and don't understand why this thread has turned like this , butI guess the rest of us turkey hunters are not hunters with out a custom call :eek:

I never read this from Rob Keck but I don't believe he is misleading anyone.

I have heard a awefull lot of custom box calls sound a little off and as well have seen a lot of custom call makers make a mess at trying to run them too...

I missed something. Some underlying tones.

No worries BT. I am quite sure our "manufactured" calls out of the plastic will work fine for us this spring;)

You can tune my call and we'll post pics of the bird it kills ;):D:D

RE: tuning your box call
 

I'm still using the same Lynche's world champion box call that I bought whenI was 17. I'm now 41 and have never used any other call except my own voice. I have chalked my call maybe 5 times in 24 years and it still does the job year after year. Of course new rubber bands are a seasonal thing, but otherwise I have done nothing to it.I tried mouth calls once but couldn't get them to make a sound. I have no idea how many birds I've killed over the years, but between being able to kill two each spring and two each fall, but not being much of a fall hunter I'd guess 60. The other 36 I might have taken were lost to missed seasons, illness or taking others hunting and not taking my own gun, which is something I do more and more. I see no reason at this point that it won't perform another 24 years of service, unlessI break it. It has spent 90% of it's time riding on the dash of my truck, which hasn't seemed to hurt it either. I now wish that I had taken more pics of my turkeys over the years but only have maybe 15 and only a few good ones. My best pic is at www.hiddenvalleyhuntingllc.com
