Title: Derek Tereza Box
Post by: va longbeard on October 06, 2019, 09:05:25 AM
Just got this red cedar over curly walnut call from Derek Tereza yesterday my first from him.

This call is a player one of the easiest cost style boxes I have ever played, great roll over, rasp and tone.  He pegged an old mama eastern hen with this call.

This is not the flashiest call Derek makes but listening to his calls on Facebook, there all incredible, this is the sound that I picked and the call I got sounds exactly like his Facebook soundfiles.

Derek is a new comer but I predict he is going to be one of the go to guys for boxes, word is already spreading quickly.

If you haven't heard his calls go to Facebook, either Middle Mountain Custom calls or Derek Tereza his personal page I think your going to be impressed with what you here.

Derek also has soundfiles of a lot of other call makers calls on his personnel page, TJ Johnson, Marlin Watkins, Mike Lapp, Ernie Fetters, Jeff McKamey etc.

He is the best playing a box I have ever heard.

Can't beat that combo for a flat out killing call! Derek is a good dude, glad to call him a friend. I dont think it will be long before I have a 5th box from him.

Chad for an old mama eastern hen I think Derek nailed it with this one! 

Derek is a great guy I have enjoyed  talking with him and texting him. 

He is a turkey call nut just like most of us on this forum and I think he buys and trades from other makers acquiring as many calls as he makes!

Looking forward to meeting Derek in person at Unicio this year for sure.

He is making me a snakewood persimmon that I cant wait to get.

Congrats on the call, but I have to disagree on one point:

I think that is a stunning call! I love that wood combo together, very flashy.  :icon_thumright:

Derek can flat out run a box, that's for sure. When he starts and walks away from the camera all you see are feathers flying. Best gobble on any box he picks up too. His will be the box to have, I concur.

Greg there all outstanding in my book!

I told Derek I think he could make a turkey call out of plywood that would sound great, I haven't seen a combo he has made yet that wasn't all pure turkey.

Those mahoe calls, all mahoe, cedar mahoe, snakewood mahoe and pernambuco mahoe all sound awesome to me.

If you want one of Derek's calls right now here is a link to one that he donated that is being currently auctioned for a good cause.

Fine looking call. He has been making some great calls for a while now, I have been seeing his posts since last winter or maybe spring and I have yet to hear one bad one from him. Hope to get from him in the future, he had a Blackline persimmon and Macassar I had really wanted to get from him but he sold out of them.

Congrats on a real fine call from Derek and yes he can run a box call real well.  Spent sometime with him at Turkey Trot Lodge this past August and he is a great guy to talk to about calls and hunting!

He was at Preacherman's table most of the day.   He did not bring any of his calls. He was on the end closest to the center isle.

Yea there was a joke something to the effect of Derek saying he owed Jody a lot and Jody told him to pay up or something to that effect.

Just got my snakewood over mahoe from him and its one fine sounding box. Waiting on a macassar over spalted pecan or spalted persimmon.
