Sore subject, brother, sore subject.
I had a buddy that has no class, tact, good taste, or filter. Needless to say, GREAT GUY. He built a box call out of a 2x4 with a dremel tool and a pocket knife. Stupid thing was so ugly I saw a pine tree throw up when he pulled it out of his pocket out in the woods. I pointed and laughed (if you know Mikey, you know this only encourages him). Much to my chagrin, with a little luck, lots of practice, and your tongue carefully clenched firmly in cheek...the bloody awful thing worked! We had a number of birds responding to it that weekend.
It seems to me the most critical points is that the sides need to have a little outward angle and the lid needs to be curved underneath. From there, you just keep varying the angles, depth, length, and materials as you slowly become eaten up by the custom call making bug. From all I hear, it is even worse than the bow making bug.

Only Tom we saw was in town, running from the rain, in the afternoon. Even in Custer, SD, they frown on hunting in town!, but at least the sob crossed the road in front of us! We did get some "talking" but not coming close enough! Well, maybe .223 close in fall season, but this is spring". Curses! Foiled again! Turkeys, 5, Hunters, 1, and that is seasons! Good camp, though!
