What is your favorite box call? I have used a Moss Double Tone for the last 20 years, but sat on it during last turkey season. Apparently, Moss Double Tone is out of business now as their website isn't up and an email to the company was returned as undeliverable. That being said, it looks like I'm in the market for a new (and different) box call. What do you all use, and why?

do I have to pick one??   I'm gonna answer this with call maker only because i have several different wood combo's from these call makers, This is not in any sort of order. These guy's all make outstanding sounding calls. I personally carry these calls so I'm only giving there names, there's many many other good call makers out there. My suggestion is to call a few of them and talk directly to them.

I have several by different call markers , what i look for is a turkey in the box , i look for that special tone and sound that will get a turkey to respond or at least reaction ... Call makers have different ways of making and tuning calls and few added secrets ... so you will just have to contact them and get sound files and like them on facebook or become friends so you can hear boxes being played .. etc ... Different wood combo's have different sounds ...  Some call builders have a better ear for tuning call's .. some like a clear sharper sound on the front of the box with rollover rasp on the back end ... some like lot's of rasp .. it's just up to you and what makes your ears pop. Lot of good custom call builders on this forum.. they are always willing to help...

I have an old Quaker boy Boxcall I think is made of butternut. I've had more gobblers answer that old Boxcall than all the other calls I've owned or used combined.
If you make everything easy how do you know when your good at anything?

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 like my Firedup (l.T.Pack) box call.   I guess he is still building them.  You can tell him what your looking for in sound and chances are good he will come pretty dang close.   He goes by Firedup on this board.   He's a fine fellow who happens to make a pretty dang good box call.  Shoot him a pm.   If nothing else you'll get to talk to a good ole WV boy. 
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

Wendell Lancaster is my favorite box call maker. His Jatoba/Holly is my favorite box. It sounds like a turkey and it just kills turkeys.
