Need a box call!

[EasternTurkeyHunter69]

I'm fixing to purchase a box call before season. Really leaning towards Hollaran Purple Heart over cedar. I love the sound of a sassafras call. Give me everyone's opinion on a good call to get. Wanna short box! Thanks all

Good Heavens !!

There's a bajillion great boxes out there.

My suggestion is grab one from one of the many great makers active right here on the OG Forums.

I'm not a box call guy, I've always wanted to have one in the tool box per se, i own several from custom makers and several production ones. They were all decent but nothing that I loved the sound of enough for me to consider it worth the hassle of carrying it. A couple weeks ago, I bought one from BBsCustomBoxCalls and when it came in I noticed it was a looker, the first time I ran the paddle across the box I was blown away, I played with it for a couple hours, put it in the vest, and ordered two more instantly. And truth be told, before he runs out, I'll likely get two or three more to put back. It is the best sounding, best feeling in hand, and best sized box I've ever had the pleasure to pick up.

I got Purple Heart for the lid and Mahogany for the box for  two of them. I actually ordered all of them in that combo but he had sold one that I ordered already and upgraded me with a more expensive one in Purple Heart/ Cherry with no extra charge. He told me that is one of his favorite combos.

I have a Bloodwood over red cedar short box from Mike at Spring Creek that doesn't leave my vest.  I've had a lot of successes with that combo.  I had to make myself NOT use it last year, because I wanted to use my new Gooserbat slates. You can find Mike here at OG.
