Hey there, fellow turkey hunters! Are you ready to up your game and unleash some gobbles that’ll make those gobblers come running? Well, grab your box call, because we’re diving deep into the art of using this versatile turkey-calling tool.
What is a Box Call?
A box call is a classic turkey call that produces realistic gobbles, yelps, and clucks. It consists of a wooden box with a hinged lid and a paddle that slides back and forth inside. By manipulating the paddle and lid, you can create a variety of turkey sounds that will entice even the most wary toms
How to Use a Box Call:
1. Secure the Call:
The first step is to secure the handle to the body of the call using a rubber band. This will prevent the handle from rattling and spooking the turkeys.
2. Get Grippy:
Hold the bottom of the call with the handle pointing upward. Make sure you have a firm grip on the call as you’ll be shaking it vigorously.
3. Unleash the Gobble:
Shake the call’s body back and forth while rapidly moving the paddle to make a gobble. The faster you shake, the higher-pitched the gobble will be.
4. Yelping and Clucking:
For yelps and clucks, use a slower, more controlled shaking motion. You can also vary the pitch by adjusting the position of the lid.
5. Practice Makes Perfect:
Like any skill, mastering the box call takes practice. Start by experimenting with different shaking speeds and lid positions to find the sounds that work best for you.
Pro Tips:
- Listen to Real Turkeys: Pay attention to the sounds that real turkeys make and try to mimic them as closely as possible.
- Use Different Calls: Don’t rely on just one type of call. Mix it up with gobbles, yelps, clucks, and purrs to keep the turkeys interested.
- Be Patient: Turkeys can be fickle, so don’t get discouraged if they don’t come running right away. Keep calling and be patient.
- Have Fun: Turkey hunting is supposed to be enjoyable, so relax, have fun, and enjoy the challenge of calling in a gobbler.
