If you're out there hunting turkeys and using this box call, we want video.

I am. And you will get it.

We kind of baby sat my brother-in-laws pet turkey while we found him a new home after my BIL house burned down. We have a 6 ft fence around our yard but everyone in the neighborhood could hear him. It was hilarious hearing all the turkey hunters for 3 blocks calling him. Most of the time he didnt respond. He got to be an old pet because he was smart. 😊

Nice! I'm headed to Michigan next weekend for a turkey hunt. Maybe I can squeeze one of these calls in between all the dang planter boxes I have to make. 🤣

We are just getting it going. It took off a lil faster than expected. Glad you found it!

That sounds just as good as any of the store bought over many years. NICE

When we study sound in class I usually bring in my turkey calls to illustrate the idea of vibration and how the sounds are formed. It's pretty funny to see a kid use a call for the first time. It might be nice if I build a few of my own so I'm not worried about them breaking the ones I paid for! Thanks for what you do!

Nicely done, Brother! You have inspired me to make a train load of turkey calls. I live in the Midwest and I have even had wild turkeys in my backyards. Again, kudos and thanks for the video.

Pale Horse Outdoors with Matthew Peech, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!

My turkey hunting brother wanted to find out if I could make him a box call. Now, I know.

I think it’s sounds pretty dam good for a homemade call those yelps are on point! I’m a woodworker and a taxidermist I build custom bases for animal mounts, make all my own plaques for European skulls, I’m definitely adding some box calls to my products here. Great build man 🤙🏼

Awesome video. Thanks. Love turkey hunting and never even thought about making my own box call till I saw this. Now it's on my list!

I hand turn pot calls on a lathe and now want to explore making box calls, your video is definitely a big help! Would love to see a hunting video with it

Great video! Sounds awesome to me!! Unfortunately, I do all my turkey hunting at Costco!!! Blessings!!!

Welcome!

Good little project, very calming video.

Awesome job Sir!! Sounds great too!👏 💯

Very cool! Looking forward to your new channel

nice box call .my only problem with box calls and slate or glass is the humidity in the mornings or just dampness would make them not sound good they sound great in your living room when its dry . the mouth call was my go to if you can master that its a winner .

Awesome..

Very much enjoyed this video! Thank You for sharing, looking forward to more!

Sounds good n looks good .

Thanks for my new next level hunt! Got two weeks to find time to make one with wood from my mill.

I thought it sounded great! Thanks for this diy video, I will be trying it for sure.

I'm not a turkey hunter, even though they are in my front yard from time to time. I have some poplar laying around that I wasn't sure what to do with, but I will definitely give this a try. Thanks for the videos. Keep up the good work, and God bless you!

Those are so cool

I find that alder wood makes the best sound

I called in a nice one using a 24”Irwin Quick Grip Clamp.

Nice. I'm sure it feels good to get a Turkey with a homemade call. Heard turkeys called in with some pretty questionable calling and they didn't seem to mind, I'm sure the sound is fine.

Awesome job my friend!! 💢Subscribed💢

Thanks for the sub!

need some box call chalk , the white chalk usually has some oil in it , but hey sounds great

Any other ways to cut out the center of the bottom? I have all the tools but a drill press. Thinking theyre oughta be a way to use a router

Inspiring. Have you ever tried using a polyurethane finish? I have an old call I bought years ago that had a heavy finish and I feel like it adds to the sound of the call. I use it mid day when I want to strike something and its killed a many a lonely longbeards. Id be interested to see how different finishes compare

Great video! I love the idea of making your own call. How do you go about tuning it? I’m guessing it’s just sanding in inside of the pocket (making the walls thinner), sanding the lip of the box and or the top underside where it meets the box lip?I noticed one side didn’t sound as good. What I mean by that is the push stroke sounded different from the pull stroke. Is this pretty normal?

@Pale-Horse-Outdoors

Ай бұрын

Yes. Each side will need to be tuned. And you're right, you tune by sanding the walls, rounding the edges and with the screw.

Do you think Alder would be good for the box with something harder like cherry for the top?

Great video. I always enjoy watching your videos very easy to follow, just like your plans. Are you going to be putting this box call on your etsy page? i know i would buy the plans with templates. Great video again!!

My dad was ranked #3 in the fwta under Niel Cost...there a bit more nice than these and are tuned to where the turkeys pretty much run at you.Ive been making them for few years now since he has passed....SWEET THANG TURKEY CALLS.

Hey Matt, any suggestions on how to get the curve on the striker if you don't have a belt sander yet? Living in a huge turkey hunting area, this would be a great smalls item for me.

You could remove the edges with a table saw and then hand sand it. Or just use a regular cordless sander.

Good job. Does it still sound right if you glue the wood together for the bottom of the call? I don't have a thick piece.

@Pale-Horse-Outdoors

Yea they sound good. All box calls you buy from the big stores have glued on bottoms.

You made it look easy . Kick a## video. Love calling them birds in tho.

That turkey call will hunt! What would a person charge for a call like that?

@Pale-Horse-Outdoors

Ай бұрын

Thanks! Honestly I have no clue. It would depend on the wood that you used. If you found some reclaimed wood to use you could probably get a good price for a custom made call.

Do you sell the turkey box calls?
