FSU_Seminole Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Only for it to sound like crap? I guess I made the mistake of not calling this company and listening to their calls over the phone or online. I don't want to bad mouth anyone but this guy makes a BEAUTIFUL and I mean BEAUTIFUL box call with turkey feathers on one side, tracks across the other curly maple lid with a hand painted gobbler head handle with my name and birth date on it. Its beautiful but sounds God awful. I got a few box calls from Wal Mart that sound better than this for 1/3rd the price. This ever happen to anyone else?

Ethan Givan Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Only bought one custom box call before, and it sounds great. I dont carry it while hunting, for the fear of damaging it. It sets up on a display cabinet with about 7 other box calls that my dad has collected. If its as pretty as you describe, I wouldnt worry how it sounded, because I wouldnt have it out in the woods to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yep...sure have...a custom box call that was supposed to be "the thing". Made of Canary wood & Poplar. My name on the side too. Came wrapped in a special protective cloth in the box. Broke it out, chalked it up & it was so apt at making a squeaking sound there was NO way I'd risk using it in the woods.
