I would like to get a good box call. I'm pretty new to turkey hunting, does anyone have a recommendation for a pretty nice beginner box? Thanks a lot.

Call Al with SS custom calls and he can get you set up with a wood combo for one of his field grade boxes

I'll second that!!!!!!! Al and Josh will do ya good!!! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Yep I'll give that a Third vote!! Al and Josh make a fantastic Field Grade Box that wont brake the bank and have plenty of turkey in them.
SS custom calls and Spring Creek Calls are both great options.

Good options.
SS is the obvious choice. They make great boxes at a very fair price, especially the cheap talk or field grade and you can't find one'll sound better. Great boxes
YUP ALL THIS & THAT :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
I've had excellent results with Mike @ Spring Creek.
Very reasonable prices and excellent service.
Excellent advice - quality boxes at a great price. I'd add Rohm Brothers boxes to the list as well. :icon_thumright:

X2!!!
You got it narrowed down now. Ask what kinda wood the guys like, you'll get many more varying answers lol. Welcome bud.
SS cheap talk $40. Field grade slightly higher
Another vote for Mike Crooks with Spring Creek. I've got two from Mike and have given two as gifts and they are all turkey. The bloodwood over walnut is my go to short box. For $35 to $40, these boxes are hard to beat for the price.
I do not have a Spring Creek so I cannot comment. But I do have some SS Customs, they sound incredible and you wont have to wait as long as you would from some other call makers, if you do have time to wait the the list is endless. Also maybe try giving Irving Whitt a call, his boxes sound great as well and I bet he could get you one pretty quickly.
My two favorites that are easily had are SS which has a very strong following on here (rightfully so) and Albert Paul calls. Mr. Alberts calls are a bit more expensive and may have a slight wait. I don't own a Spring Creek, but might have to fix that. Hadn't read a bad thing about them.
Al and Josh (SS) are Top Notch in my book. I own a couple and they are true blue turkey killers. Russel Beard and Mr. Albert both build mighty fine calls. I have an old Billy White that has seen many turkeys take a dirt nap. If you are just starting out believe me. ONE WILL NOT DO IT......

Ain't that the truth
If you can find an old, original Primos Heartbreaker, buy it.
I also really like the Hustlin' Hen.

More solid advice. Yep. :icon_thumright:
Can't go wrong with a David Holloran box call, he makes some sweet sound box calls for sure.

I can recommend both of these. Great calls, and great people to deal with
Thank you very much for the advice, been meaning to reply sooner, but work has been crazy lately. I am pretty much a rookie when it comes to turkey hunting, have killed a few but mostly luck. Would love to actually learn how to be successful, because of ability and not luck. But I'll take what I can get. Thank you again

So I think I have my box figured out, now someone school me on pot calls. Which pot material is the easiest to make a decent turkey sound? Does anyone have a recommendation on a call maker for a pot call

Sorry guys, just realized there was a pot call forum as well. I threw a post in there

I really like Albert Pauls calls, I own a few of them and everyone are turkey killers. They are made one at a time by hand and the quality is beyond reproach. I own three of his calls and each one I killed a Osceola the first time using the call.

Well what box you going with???
Pot calls, slates easy to run but in wet or humid air it might not work well so I'd recommend a glass crystal call. I'm very partial to Jimmy schaffers calls but halloran makes a great one too. But there are hundreds of good pot calls

I'm pretty sure I'm going to give SS a try, calls look really nice and are reasonably priced. I haven't had time to contact them yet. Need to decided on what type of wood I want
