Bloodwood Boxcall and Slate Call

Product Review
By Thomas Remington

The Bloodwood Boxcall is a well-crafted turkey call that anyone would be happy to have in their pack of items as they head out for a day of turkey hunting. The workmanship is first class and the combination of woods makes the call attractive as well but does it work?
With ease, the operator can create the sounds that they want. I found that there was so little effort or concentration needed to produce the sounds I was looking for. This is important to me as I prefer to focus on what is transpiring in front of me and not have to concentrate on the call itself. It fit nicely into my pack and most importantly it worked.
The slate call was also an item that seemed to be effortless. For me the slate fit comfortably into the palm of my hand or I could hold it easily and tilt it in any direction that I wanted the sounds to travel. A uniquely crafted and personalized striker also was easy to grip and allowed me to change positions with little effort. I never felt as though I would lose the striker from my hand even when it was cold enough to have to wear gloves.

After a little internet searching, reading, and checking up on this stuff I found it’s a pretty well established product in Canada and hails from Quebec where they have this funny habit of speaking a lot of French. Thus the name, Jig-A-Loo, and the company’s claim it derives from a saying they have up north, “I’ve got it!”
