Title: Help needed
Post by: Mallards Only on April 02, 2014, 10:29:37 AM
I am desperately searching for some replacement diaphragm calls for a call that I have used for years and can no longer find.  I believe it is a Quaker Boy call, although it may be HS Strut.  It is a double-reed latex with the thin clear latex(not the white, thicker stuff) and has brown tape.  It's called something like Boss Hen or Old Boss Hen, I think.  Anyone know who made this call and, better yet, who still sells them?

I thought it was a pretty popular call.  Can't believe they just stopped making it.

If its the call I am thinking of it was call the Boss Hen and it was made by Quakerboy.  To my knowledge they still make that call as I picked one up last year just before the season.

HS Strut makes the Raspy Old Hen, Quaker Boy the Old Boss Hen, but I cannot remember either company offering brown tape.  Now, some of the older Primos calls had that tape, but I think it was their stacked series.

Check out the Gooserbat Classic Hen and Public Land Special (PLS) for a real good spin on that classic cut

I found it.  I feel like a complete moron too.  My Alzheimer's must be setting in because I wasn't even close.  It is a Primo's call and is called Limbhanger.  Old Hen was my other go-to call.  Thanks for all the help.

Quaker Boy...Double reeded and had a raspy sound. It was brown. It was one of the first mouth calls Quaker Boy made. I had a couple the lil fat boy gave me when I guided him....lol..Surprised they don't make it anymore..
