Custom made Turkey Box Call

I have mentioned before that I am getting ready for Connecticut's spring turkey season. This will be my second season trying this. I also mentioned that it is a good way to keep tabs on the deer in my area which is most important, at least for me. I am though taking turkey hunting very seriously.

Now being new to this I am at a bit of a disadvantage but let me point out some one to you that I have to say makes some of the most awesome turkey calls I have seen in my most minimum experience.

Ed Blankinship from "Gobbler's End Turkey Calls" made and sold me a Scratch Box Call last year that sounded so authentic that I actually had turkeys answering it. Sadly my inexperience scared them away, haha.

Now this year I am a little smarter (little being the key phrase) haha again. I am going into this season a bit more prepared and a bit more confident.

I had contacted Ed about going from a scratch box call to a box call and he stated that he could make a real nice one for me out of poplar and even scribe my nickname (ct swamphunter) in it for me which I thought was cool. so I said let's do it and sent him a check. Here is what I just received in the mail and let me just say it sounds just as good as the scratch box call and maybe even better.





His prices in my opinion are well worth the time and personal attention he put into these magnificent calls. I recommend to any to stop by his site and check out what he can do for you. I know I am very eager to get out and see what happens with my new call.
