I've got a couple of Spring Creek and S&S calls that I love and use a lot.
But I never leave the house without an old original Quakerboy old grand master call that I've had for years.

Thank you all for the replies. I think I'll always have a problem paying three figures for a box call, but a few of the makers (Spring Creek and Gooserbat, especially) looked intriguing.

I have no problem paying for a quality call but some are outrageous.

Thanks for the interest.  I've got a couple of new wood combos coming out in late January.  Pm me for the info.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

For under $100 basic hunting call you have had some good suggestions Jeff White is another one priced competitively. There is probably a couple good ones posted in the classified section on here .

I have a few Spring Creeks I got from the maker on here.
They are full of turkey. reasonably priced.

:agreed:

All turkey for sure. Got one in my vest too.
A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

What is your favorite box call? I have used a Moss Double Tone for the last 20 years, but sat on it during last turkey season. Apparently, Moss Double Tone is out of business now as their website isn't up and an email to the company was returned as undeliverable. That being said, it looks like I'm in the market for a new (and different) box call. What do you all use, and why?
I also use a Moss Double Tone as my go to box. I have had one for 15 years or so. I sat on mine a few years ago and bought 2 just in case they stop producing them. I haven't looked yet but they were available from Midwest turkey supply last year I believe. Love that box and have never seen anything like that.

I carry an old Doug Camp Screaming Hen box I purchased from him about 30 years ago when he was still alive. It's my favorite box call and I hunt it like he would have wanted. Sometimes I see them on Ebay from time to time but they have gotten sky high.

Several years ago I bought a cedar over butternut longbox from a retired preacher down in Eastern Kentucky. I can't recall the gentleman's name but his boxes were called Kentucky Thunder. It was a real bargain at $35 and my favorite box call.
