I'll give a shout out to a young man in Pa. that does nice work... Austin Hornberger. I have a field grade walnut over poplar that I love.

I'll give another plug for the fellas at SS. Couldn't bring myself to pay the price for a custom box until getting one of their scratch boxes in a trade. Then I couldn't see myself not giving them a chance. If I ever need another box, it'll be from SS. Well, to be fair, I've got a really nice Lonnie Mabry box call too. Both of which are super nice but I'd probably give the edge to SS. Just found it to suit my likings slightly better but make no mistake, both will bring about the death of some birds. My McKinnis box is nice too but I've found the sweet spot to be a bit narrower than I'd like. Still a great box but my money is on the guys at SS if I ever need another one.

Looks like the fella done ordered him one from Al and Josh. They make some good ones!!!

I have a maple over black limba field grade box from Austin. Love it. My buddy also got a call from Austin and he loves his too, can't remember the wood combo on his though.

Maybe I should put "Bronco Fan" in my sig line if I am going to quote this guy.  :toothy9:

Lol... I can respect that. (Cinncinati now, not so much  ;D )

Get a Billy White Hustlin Hen. You won't regret it.

I'd also add Mr. Jerry White (Dads Custom Box Calls) to the list. His purple heart over cedar checkered short box is all turkey and I won't leave home without it.

Jody gave you a good list of guys that make box calls that kill turkeys period. I just got another Albert Paul box call. Maple over mahogany.  I really like his box calls.

Well this year I've bought a Paul and an SS.  There's other great makers out there as well.

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.

I just got back from Lonnie Mabry's shop in Georgia and couldn't be happier with the calls I received from him.

I only got one box call, Billy Whites Hustlin Hen. Just don't carry many calls, normally a few mouth calls and a friction pot. So one box call is enough to take once in a while. And box calls are the number 1 call I hear on Gamelands, is the main reason I don't carry it much.

I'm exctited to be getting box calls from Frank Kruer and Chad Griep.
