Strut10 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I have some boxcalls I've accumulated over the years in a Rubbermaid tub. I had to move it this morning to get at something and noticed it was on the heavy side. So I hauled it out and emptied it onto the floor. Wasn't really aware that it had gotten this bad. I think I may need help. Oh, yeah...............did I mention there's only one of them that I use to hunt with?? It's the one on the far right in the row coming off the lid of the boxed set (right above the purpleheart longbox). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Maybe a box call collector addiction but not really a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strut10 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 The first turkey i ever called in i used one of the camo hs strut calls i havent seen one in awhile That camo HS Strut one-sider is the first boxcall I ever owned. Bought it early 80's and used it to bring quite a few gobblers to their deaths. It is one of the nastiest cutter-boxes in that picture.

Strut10 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I bet that it will not be long until all the Little Struts will be making claims to some of them.:rockon: The Strutlets, actually, do already have their own boxes. Didn't put those in the picture. Only a couple of the calls pictured have ever seen the woods. No plans to expand that number much or at all in the future.

Strut10 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Interested in selling off a few? Probably not. Did you have something in particular in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado bob Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Not really. I use Lynch & Quaker Boy. My go to call is my Quaker Boy "Grand Old Master" & then Lynch. Box calls seem to work out here----the sound will carry out in the canyon. Add in the fact that I really suck with a mouth call. I'd probably would get a backup Lynch & Quaker Boy.

colorado bob Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think I paid @ $25 for it about 15 years ago. It's called in @30+ gobblers. It just plains works for me. Called in a couple Rio's & Easterns also. It's done 3/4 of the slam. Just can't see paying that kind of money they want for a Fla. bird.

loner Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 your problem,seems to be an obsession about box calls.LOL:jaw: it is similar to us turkey hunters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flintlock1776 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Those that may not be collectible, does the NWTF have a program to hand out stuff like that to needy kids or Hunter Ed programs? That may give you more closet space.:group: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 The only problem I see is that your storage box might be a little too small Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Problem, I don't see a problem there. Nice collection Don. I have just one box call, your pic makes me think it should be easy to justify getting a few more calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Wow, quite the collection! I've got a box call...don't see it in your collection though so bet I got one you don't, lol! Will post a pic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddyboman Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 NICE collection!!! The problem I see is your are not displaying them but instead hiding them in a box......:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsharp01 Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Yes Strut 10 you do have a problem!!!! The problem is they are crammed in a tote and not in a display case where they can be proudly displayed of yours and others viewing pleasure.

LETMGROW Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) It's interesting what some folks will collect without the intention of collecting. I started collecting Gun Digests a few years ago. It became an obsession to the point I bought and bought. Today I have the whole library from 1944 to 2010. Believe it or not I have read the majority of them. For some years I have as many as 4 copies because I kept upgrading the condition of each years digest. I actually have 3 original 1944 editions as well as a reprint 1944 edition. I have over 40 more that aren't on display. To this point I have never heard of anyone who has collected the whole series. Nice collection Don, Lynn Edited March 5, 2011 by LETMGROW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
