Title: Help Me Pick Out My Newest Addition!!
Post by: StruttinGobbler3 on January 17, 2012, 09:27:47 PM
Decided to add to my ever growing arsenal of calls again this year. This time i have a nice custom box call in mind. I've noticed some favorites on this board are Albert Paul, SScustoms, and tim bullock. Any reviews on these or other good quality custom boxes? By the way, looking in the price range of 100 to 120. Thanks.

I think all 3 of those are very good options. I have boxes from all 3. You might also look into Marin Watikins. His boxes are also top notch.

Jerry Zebro for a short box,  he has won many awards with his boxes and $40 for a glued box and Scott Hembrook who goes by WillowRidgeCalls on this forum.  I believe his Gibson boxes are $60- $75 but I am not sure.  They will really reach out there on those windy days.  Scoot

Jeff McKamey and Scott Witter are two more really good box call makers. They both build purebred turkey killers. Scott's boxes house some of the best art work you will find out there.

At the Midwest Competition I played most every box call from guys like; Jerry Zebro, Jeff McKamey, Terry Baker, Tim Bullock, and I liked all of them.

Thanks for all the replies and advice everybody. After much thought I'm leaning towards an Albert Paul, but keep the suggestions coming!

I ASSURE YOU, JERRY ZEBRO'S CALLER ARE THE BEST CALLERS I EVER DID PLAY IN THE PRICE RANGE YOU ARE WANTING. I HAVE SOME 3000 + CALLERS AND JERRY'S CALLS ARE TRUE ALL TURKEY. JERR HAS WON THE MIDWEST NATIONAL 3 YEARS IN A ROW FOR BEST HUNTING DIVISION BOX CALLS. HIS CALLS ARE BETTER THAN MANY $200 TO $500 CALLERS.
