I have misplaced or lost my box that I have used the last few seasons. What do the turkey guys recommend I replace it with. Seems to be a lot of options out there, are some better than others?

Try Tim Cockerel, Has an add on Facebook. He makes a very nice box call for 40.00 & all kinds of hardwoods. Bought one in walnut, sounds great.

Ferocious Calls by Kip Feroce phone number 724 393 1704 He gives to many trapping organizations and creates the highest quality box calls in the opinion of many. All hand made! Works of art and great sound. Something you can pass down but it won't cost you an inheritance.

I've been using the same Quaker Boy Mini Boat Paddle for almost 30 years. Very nice sound and very effective.

Lynch

I've made several for myself, really not as hard as you might think.

Killed a lot of turkeys with the lynch, a lot of these gimmicky calls are just that.

Rohm Brothers from Pa.
Mine was walnut and the perfect tones. It never let me down.
I gave it to my secretary because she needed a good call.
I miss that call and want to replace it.

The Primos waterproof box call is excellent. Not a beauty, but it works when damp.
It sounds good. I have killed turkeys with it.

Lynch's "FOOL PROOF" has helped
me kill nearly 100 long beards since 1977
here in New York State in Steuben, Yates,
Ontario, Oswego, Jefferson & St Lawrence
Counties as well as many in PA.

Can't go wrong with this turkey box call.

Count on it.

Been using the same Lynch since I was 12. I plan on using my 42 year old lynch again this spring. Quaker Boy makes a pretty good slate call for close work.


I can't believe that cop put me in the back seat when I clearly called shotgun.

I passed on one years ago that I thought sounded great with some nasty rasp to it. Broke kid that I was didn't want to spend the coin.

A KITS Call black widow box made of black locust.

The one on bottom. It is now long out of print and I'm searching high and low for one.
