May not be the most productive; or the prettiest; or best sounding, or expensive call. Hard to describe unless you have/yhad one.
BUT it has some quality that makes /made it special to you.
Mine was (unfortunately past tense) a gifted Albert Paul box call. cedar over walnut.
I didn't use it for several seasons after I got it being addicted to the high pitch of a Camp box.
One AM I did carry it and was sitting beside a Uwharrie valley next to little river.
No roost action from any call or locator.
As I started to leave I brought out that call (it was the only one I hadn't used) and yelped.
The trees within a few yards of me exploded with yelping and gobbling.
I had found the call we all want, one that sounds good to the turkeys.
I used it for about seven years before a youth hunter left it laying behind my truck for me to drive over. No piece of messed up gear has ever been so painful. There is no telling what a real hunter could have killed with that call.
I sent it back to Mr. Paul for him to use the paddle on another box but he just sent another complete call.. It wasn't/isn't the same to me.
That's my story.
What calls do you have that were /are "special'? Define special as you like.
As I typed this it started to sound familiar. If I am being redundant I apologize but really just like to hear yall's tales on turkey stuff so please don't let my repetitiveness keep you from playing.
