I've always liked scratch boxes, possibly because my first call was a scratch box. Well, this week I got my hot little hands on the hottest scratch boxes ever. Both were made by Wendell Rye - Lights Out Calls (Web Link). These are loud when needed and make awesome yelps. The calls aren't any bigger than a pack of cigarettes so fit perfectly in a shirt pocket. One is walnut and the other is honey locust. The striker fits right inside the call and has a slate striking surface. Man! I love these calls. He makes pot calls too if that's your leaning. Check out his page. These are neat calls!
Here are a couple of photos:
