I haven't had much experience with box calls. I was taught on a pot, and mouth calls, and that has basically been the extent of my calling expertise (expertise is definitely a stretch). I started learning a trumpet with a couple from Jeff Irb, and was decent enough to work a bird for a while with them, and will continue to work on it. But, as far as box calls are concerned, I only have previous experience with a Lynch Fool Proof. Sounded fine, but busted it this year in a tumble. I've wanted to get a decent custom box call for a while, anyway...
Enter Spring Creek Calls. A couple of days ago I noticed where Mike from Spring Creek Calls was quite generous in donating a box for an 11 year old boy to a guy on here. That sealed the deal for me. I later contacted him through Facebook, and he gave some solid advice. I decided to order a short box, and a scratch box from him, and he knocked $10 off the price! I even told him not to do so, but when I received the PayPal invoice from him, it was only for $60 bucks! (price on the box was $50, and scratch box was $20) I wanted to get a good box without breaking the bank, and now I have one on the way, along with a scratch box, for less than I expected to pay for a box alone. Mike definitely puts the customer first.
Thank you, Spring Creek Calls!
Top notch calls and a great human being. You w :emoticon-animal-005:I'll Minot be disappointed
I have a yellowheart over limba one piece hewn box, and it is a screamer. Excellent craftsmanship and good guy.
Great guy to deal with..
He makes a quality product for an affordable price...
Any new hunters on the forums (or otherwise) asking which call to get, I direct them to look at Spring Creek... It is nice to be able to call the call-maker and get his input on which call will work the best for your particular situation....
As a side note, I bet you start playing that scratch box more than some of your other calls... It is fun to play, and the clucks & purrs on a good scratcher cannot be beat....
You can't go wrong with Mike and Spring creek. Great quality product and great customer service.
I've never seen call builders on this forum , that wasn't ready to help us turkey hunters...great bunch of guys ....
The man puts turkeys in every call.........and, apparently, he is a stand up fellow to boot.
Kudos, all around, to Mr Mike at Spring Creek Calls !!!!!
Jeremy I hope you like the calls and I am humbled by everyone's response. Thank you!

I have seen one call maker that isnt any help out of all the years I am a member here that just pushes to make a sale and looks for praise.
