Thanks everybody, yeah i was pretty happy with it. 9.25" beard, 1" spurs and 22 pounds.

Bacon is the Crack Cocaine of the Food World.

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

Hey STMW, no fair hunting in the back yard.   :D
Great looking bird.  Nice beard length too.

I haven't seen a TOM since opening day.  Had a few hens come up to us and check out the Jake Decoys, but I think all the TOMS were taken on opening day.

Hey Gizmo, Yeah i hunted second season here in illinois and opening day had five or six gobbling in the trees, then someone  shot four times in the neighboring property. It all went quiet for about three hours till i seen this one behind us in the timber. Never made a sound until right before i shot. I was really happy for my first bird. Will be going out in fifth season as well. Good luck stm

Went up to my brothers yesterday.  We (mostly he) made this in about 3 hours.  My brother has an awesome woodworking shop so this was a simple task.
First time trying to make a box call.
I think I need to make some adjustments.  The box has a pretty low tone, maybe too low.  I suspect if I take the sides down a bit, the tone will go up.

Purple Heart and Birds Eye Maple.



Won't get to try it out until next season.  Turkey closed today.

That's a nice looking box. I never used one of them, how do they work?

They work with the friction from the paddle and the side.  Chalk is used to help the friction.  The underside of the paddle has slight curvature to help with getting the correct break in the sound for yelps.

Here is a good youtube video that shows how to make calls on a turkey call.  If you look closely, there is a black paint type material on the paddle.  This is a replacement for the chalk and actually makes the call water proof.

I like that one better than the stick and plate type that I use, looks easier to carry and makes the same sounds.

Nice looking call there Giz. Who says you can't try it. Just don't have a gun with you.  ;D
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.
