This is the general rule of thumb in selecting a call of any type. Most of us have a "best" sound in our head.  When we hear a call reproduce that sound, we have found the call we want to use.

That said, I think the best call is the one that will cause a given gobbler to commit suicide on a given day.  ;)

I have a large collection of box calls and my favorite calls were made by WI. call maker Jerry Zebro. Jerry's calls are reasonably priced and look second to none. He's a great guy and will work with you to get the sound you want out of a box call!

Jerry Zebro makes a great one that I think sounds like a turkey and won't break the bank. Here is a sound file of one of mine from him in the woods.

Two really greats for short boxes not mentioned yet are Ed Terefencko and Irving Whitt. Ed T's waiting list is substantial. Many times Whitt has boxes for sale at the ready and they are some of the very best.

There's so many outstanding call makers out there who makes great calls... My favorite short boxes are made by Al and Josh Shoemaker (SS Custom Calls). I also really like my short boxes from Bob Harwell, Scott Witter, and Tim Bullock... My favorite long box is a cedar over butternut from Jeff McKamey (Twisting Creek Calls)

The *BEST Box Call* is one that brings birds to your gun barrel day after day or year after year consistently.

That call could be produced by any number of builders. As stated above it all depends on your liking the sound of it. If your not sure about the sound of it, then you won't play it with much enthusiasm, and your confidence isn't very high in that call.

That being said, it pays for you to try to get to a call show to play as many as you can to see what you like?

There are only two guys that I trust to build a box call that I don't have to hear to know that it has turkey in it.  Harwell and Mann.
