I have to agree with and acknowledge the rest of the posts on here. Mike Crooks makes some of the best quality short boxes for the price that I've found. I've bought several from Mike, kept two of them for myself and gifted several to my hunting buddies. They all give the boxes GREAT reviews and use them every spring. Mike's Bloodwood over Walnut runs smoothly and has a deep raspy older hen yelp and his Jatoba over Maple has a sharp younger hen sound. Mike is easy to work with, answers your E-mails and ships quickly but most of all makes GREAT box calls.
