What if something happened to your turkey calls-Box calls specifically and you had to start over and you could only get on 5 call makers waiting list. I know there's some top notch calls you can get now with no wait or a reasonably short wait but I'm talking about the big time guys that have a substantial waiting time. Who's list would you want to get on first. In my limited time with custom calls I would think Williams, Watkins, maybe Dawkins but I'm sure there's call makers that I've never even heard of. So if you had to pick 5 or so who would it be?

Greg Massey

Wakins, TJ Johnson, Jeff Mckamey, Matt Faulkerson, Steve Savage, Ed Terefencko or new comer Derek Tereza this is custom one piece boxes. i would look at another group if it was glued boxes ...

bobk

Lapp, Mckaney, Dawkins, Terefencko, Williams and Paul.

Derek Tereza is turning out some incredible sounding calls. 

I have one on order from him now, walnut over cedar.

The guy is one of the best if not the best I have seen at running a box.

If you have not heard his calls go to Facebook (middle mountain custom turkey calls) and listen to his videos there incredible

Derek had a Blackline persimmon and Macassar I had contacted him about but he had already sold out of them. Sounded and looked fantastic. https://www.facebook.com/derek.tereza/videos/vb.100000735698372/2566616506706181/?type=2&theater

That's an awesome looking box. Wow.

After getting over the loss of over $10k worth of box calls I'd get in touch with Watkins, Johnson, Lapp, Dawkins, and McKamey to work on replacing them.

Mine would be
#1- Marlin Watkins for a Fiddle Paddle
#2- Billy Buice for a trumpet
#3- Mark Cornius for any of his pots but would like another green slate
#4- Mr. Sneed for one of his green glass friction calls, I don't recall what he calls them.
#5- Matt Faulkerson or Richard Hudson for a Hen Box, I only put Matt's name first because I own one of his and I have never even held a Richard Hudson Hen Box but his reputation tells me his stuff is high quality.

Honorable mention to Derrick Stuckey and his Tulipwood Striker and David Halloran for his one piece Ipe Striker.

I do not have nor have I used many of the  "big time guys" , the only two "big time guys" I own from are Marlin Watkins and Matt Fulkerson so they are on my list, from there I just go from reputation and my interest.
