Best “Out-of-the-Package” Box Call #2775643

Need your help please...I have a buddy that lost his box call last spring when he took me on a hunt and I wanted to replace it. Even though I do not use a box call often, I would prefer to play with a call before purchasing. Unfortunately, it looks like ordering on-line may be the best option at this point. I would like to hear your opinions on the best box call “out-of-the-package” and hopefully under $100...I don’t really like him that much!

Thanks!

$100 is an expensive box call as far as I’m concerned. Obviously you like him if you are willing to even spend a $1 toward a call for him.

I believe you can get them at Woods and Water but if not take a little ride to Marks Outdoors in Birmingham and they can hook you up.

I've used a truck load of box calls over my life span, but want to try the woodhaven real hen. I noticed they come in cherry, walnut, or poplar. Any thoughts on which wood sounds best with the Real Hen?

this guy makes some really excellent short box calls that are very affordable & come in a lot of wood options for the boat & paddle ...

Both of mine have cherry boxes with mahogany lids. Just go somewhere that will let you try them because I had to go through several to find the ones I have. But I'm pretty picky. Don't care much for the Walnut ones

Tony designed and built that Real Hen, and the Tom Teaser box as well as many others that you have run. The box's he made this year are the best I have ever seen or heard and Mark's has them in their display case right up front.
