Title: Scratch Boxes
Post by: ghost5 on February 26, 2013, 05:00:09 PM

Thanks to some great tips from some folks here I tried my hand at some scratch box calls. Nothing special just a few I did to learn the ideas behind them. Sorry for the bad pics the light was terrible here today. First two are Eastern Red Cedar, next Black Walnut, the last 3 pics show different sides of 3 I did using Spalted Flame Box Elder.

Thanks guys. Still have more to learn but at least i found a turkey in them. The flash blew the color out on the FBE it is some pretty stuff. I have pretty much the whole tree sitting in the wood pile to be cut up still.
