I have been useing one for about 30 years.I tried all the others,slate,glass,box calls, diaphrams.
I always come back to my little scratch box.I do keep a diaphram with me for close calling.

I also make a few scratch box calls that I give to young hunters when they get there first bird.

they work good for me.I busted my box one time.that is when I started making them.I worked on the old box and fixed it and am still useing it.

get one and learn how to use it and have fun.[&:]
