Hunters Specialties Slingblade Turkey Box Call

The Hunters Specialties Slingblade Turkey Box Call is a single-sided box call engineered for serious turkey hunters who demand consistency and reliability in the field. This specialized friction call is built to replicate authentic turkey vocalizations—yelps, clucks, and purrs—with the precision necessary to close distance on wary birds. Whether you're a waterfowl guide with decades of experience or a dedicated upland hunter, the Slingblade design eliminates user error through its foolproof open-close mechanism, making it accessible to beginners while satisfying seasoned callers.

Constructed from solid American Walnut with an exotic Purple Heart wood lid, the Slingblade delivers superior tonal quality and durability that rivals professional-grade calls. The single-strike design reduces the learning curve—only one side makes sound, eliminating confusion during critical moments. The off-side of the call features a taller design that mechanically stops the paddle in the same position on every stroke, ensuring uniform tone and pitch consistency across multiple calling sequences. This precision engineering translates to realistic, repeatable turkey sounds that trigger response from goblers and hens alike, critical for controlled harvests.

Turkey hunters operating in spring season or fall hunting scenarios benefit most from this call's compact 4.5 x 2.75-inch footprint and featherweight 0.35-pound construction—ideal for glassing fields without fatigue or visibility. Law enforcement and wildlife management professionals also rely on friction box calls for aversive conditioning and wildlife dispersal operations. The Slingblade's intuitive design requires no batteries, electronics, or complex setup; simply operate the paddle for immediate results in any weather condition, making it field-proven for backcountry applications where durability and simplicity are non-negotiable.
