Abstract
An improved turkey box call adapted to prevent the emission of inadvertent sounds which might otherwise alarm the prey. The call has a base and a pair of opposing standards, one with a post and the other with a camming surface with a pair of detents. The call includes a striker pivotally connected to the post, which is selectively adapted to interact individually or simultaneously with a pair of resonating panels such that sounds similar to those of tom and hen turkeys are cooperatively generated. The call also includes a cavity spaced between the pair of resonating panels, the striker, the pair of opposing standards, and the base. A separator, having a nub biased in sliding engagement with the camming surface, is adapted to space the striker apart from the pair of resonating panels as the nub is disposed in one of the detents and to allow the striker to interact with the pair of resonating panels as the nub is disposed in the other one of the detents.
