There's TONS of SUPER-talented makers out there.  A good many of them are members here on OG Forums.

Bang for the buck, you'll be hard pressed to find better than an Ernie Fetters bloodwood/chestnut.

PA elitist since 1979

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Ernie makes a great one and so does jeff Mckamey.

If you want to spend more money and wait Steve Mann makes a great one.

Marlin Watkins makes a good one.

Dan from dans calls in Washington makes a nice one.

A quality paddle caller will most run itself.  It just needs someone to carry it around the woods. Yoder409

I'm gonna throw in Frank Kruer and Jeff McKamey. Either of those in bloodwood and black limba will work.
