This used to be "as the name states" the box call that was one of the best off the shelf.

My dad has one that is about 25 years old and is one of the best sounding box calls I have heard. I bought one about a year ago thinking that it would at least be some what comparable to his. Not so much... Frankly, it sux.

He and I were discussing strategy during lunch today and we got on the subject of box calls. Anyway, long story short I got that call out of the truck to see if he could do anything with it and it was confirmed. The mass production of this call has ruined what was a great call company.

I have even gone as far as calling them just a few minutes ago to see what they have to say for themselves, we will see if I get a call back and what kind of customer service they have in place.

Who makes the best out of the box, off the shelf box call? ? What say you Turkey South?

is your old lynch made in Birmingham? Dad has one that is and it hasn't been chalked in 25 years and still sounds great.

depending on the sound you like, I have had good success with the Dixie Darlin made by Heart of Dixie. It can be soft, loud, clean or raspy and has a heck of a gobble on it.

It probably was made in Bham, given its age. The wood has darkened and has an unmatched raspy tone. Much like everything else these days, they don't make 'em like the used to...

I should have gotten with Mr. St. John last year when I had the chance...

I will see if I can find one of those. I have not heard of them before. Thanks

If you can get one of Mr E's, do it.

A woodhaven real hen is a good mass production call cost about 60 bucks
but has good rasp

weren't lynch box calls originally built in liberty ms? seems like i remember an older guy telling me that?

Man I wish I still had my old lynch box call. My neighbor gave me an old one when I first started turkey hunting,I believe it was the Lynchs world champion call. Well it got stepped on and broke.

I bought a new one this Feb. It works pretty good...for tinder...

Dale's Turkey calls, Wesson,MS. VERY GOOD box calls and scratch boxes that will not break the bank. IM me if you want to know more.

I have a woodhaven slate call and it is awesome. Someone did mention that they made a good box call. I will have to look into that...

I'll second the woodhaven real hen box. I have the walnut call and it has a good rasp and good volume.

I had one from the 70's that was made in Liberty. Till I lost it two years ago.

I got two that were made in Liberty.
