I'm waaay out of the loop on turkey/crow/owl calls as I've had what I use for years and am not a collector. But a friend has graciously invited me down on a turkey hunt. One of those friends that will feed my like a king, work like he's a guide and never accept any cash toward groceries, gas etc. My friend has a large collection of goose/duck calls and a pretty good stock of turkey calls too, so I need a suggestion of a turkey call gift that takes me off the beaten path but to a known name and proven rep for quality sounding calls. Throw out your ideas and if I see the same name repeating I'll grab one for him. Thanks!
SS Custom Calls, Jimmy Schaffer, TJ Johnson

I would suggest a box call from SS calls or a box from Albert Paul, I think box calls make nice gift calls as it can be personalized!
Or a hen box from Matt , The Bigsnood on here, it will make any turkey Hunter smile!
Schafer or SS would be my choice for a great call relatively quick. If you're willing to wait a bit longer the skies open.
Certain makers would be available in some fashion through midway but if you had one made up you can have the maker personalize it maybe saying "Thanks for being my friend".
"To a great buddy" you know something like that. Even just his name so he knows you expended some thought.
Agree with others. Get a hold of Al at SS Custom Calls - get a nice short box with it signed "Made for my friend _________" by Al & Josh Shoemaker - may it always bring good luck! (Your name here)
Or something like that...
Another vote for the Shoemaker's on this one.

^^^^ Another vote for SS
Get a couple calls from call makers here would be my suggestiongreat calls at great prices. Also don't rule out some nice strikers. Prarie has a huge selection of strikers at good prices and you could assemble a grab bag. If you do this I strongly suggest a tulipwood, yellow heart, and black and tan be in the mix.

I agree with the hen box. There a more unique call that he probably doesn't have. I also don't know anyone who wouldn't appreciate it.
I've given box calls, pots, and scratch boxes.. Agreed a hen box would be a very unique gift not many but really serious guys have many of those.
