More manufacturers add waterproof box calls

Published: April 2, 2006

The latest trend in spring turkey hunting is the prevalence of waterproof box calls on store shelves.

In the past, turkey hunters have only had a limited selection, but many more manufacturers have recently debuted waterproof box calls.

Knight and Hale's box call has a waterproof coating on all surfaces and never needs chalking. Prices of such calls typically range from $20 to $50.

A plus of turkey hunting in the rain: if you do kill a wet gobbler, it will weigh more.
