H.S. Strut Custom Craft Turkey Box Call

Two-sided playability allows you to switch between different tones or pitches without needing to adjust your grip. This is particularly useful for mimicking multiple hens or creating a more realistic, layered soundscape in the field.

The walnut base and paddle provide a dense, resonant foundation that helps project sound, while the poplar sides offer a slightly softer, more mellow vibration. This combination creates a balanced, authentic tone that mimics the natural vocalizations of a wild turkey.

A reversible lid allows you to flip the paddle to either side of the box, which is helpful if you are left-handed or simply prefer a different angle for your calling stroke. It ensures the call remains comfortable and ergonomic regardless of your dominant hand.

Like most wooden box calls, this requires chalk on the contact surfaces to create the necessary friction for sound. You should keep the wood dry and lightly apply high-quality call chalk to the paddle and box edges whenever the sound begins to lose its rasp or clarity.

While it features heirloom-quality construction, the mechanics are straightforward and manual, making it accessible for beginners. However, because it is a high-sensitivity instrument, it rewards the subtle control and practice that experienced hunters bring to their calling.
