Quaker Boy's turkey lineup is the largest and most established in their catalog, organized across mouth calls, box calls, friction calls, locator and tube calls, and accessories. Mouth call models include the Old Boss Hen, Beginner's Double, V-Cut, Half-Back series, and Mini-Mag series. Box calls include the Hurricane. Friction calls include the Eradicator Glass and Magic Touch Glass. Locator calls cover crow, owl, and gobble tubes including the Challenging Jake and Thunderbird Gobble Call. Quaker Boy started as a turkey call company in 1976 and introduced numerous industry firsts including the first aluminum mouth call, first raspy mouth call, and first double-reed raspy mouth call.

The Old Boss Hen is one of Quaker Boy's most recognized mouth call designs, known for its raspy, mature hen sound that experienced callers rely on to finish pressured birds that have heard too many clean, high-pitched calls. Quaker Boy was the first to introduce a raspy-style mouth call to the industry with the original Old Turk design, and the Old Boss Hen continues that tradition. Its popularity comes from producing the kind of realistic, imperfect hen sound that gobblers associate with a real bird rather than a beginner's call.

A box call uses a rectangular wooden box with a hinged paddle lid that produces sound when dragged across the top edges. Box calls are loud, easy to run, and excellent for long-distance calling and yelping in windy conditions. A friction call (also called a pot call) uses a circular pot with a glass, slate, or crystal surface that is struck and dragged with a peg striker to produce sounds. Friction calls generally produce softer, more subtle sounds ideal for close-range work and purring, and the glass surface of the Quaker Boy Eradicator Glass delivers particularly clear, high-pitched tones that carry well in humid conditions.

Yes. Quaker Boy produces several mouth calls specifically designed for beginners, including the Beginner's Double Turkey Diaphragm Call. Mouth calls require more practice than box or pot calls but offer the critical advantage of being completely hands-free at the shot. Quaker Boy also offers Instructional CDs that teach turkey calling sequences and techniques, making it easier for new callers to learn proper sound production and timing. Starting with a double-reed call like the Beginner's Double, which is more forgiving than single-reed designs, is the recommended approach for hunters new to diaphragm calling.

A locator call produces the sound of a non-turkey animal, typically a crow or owl, to provoke a shock gobble from a turkey without putting the bird on alert. Turkeys instinctively gobble in response to loud, unexpected sounds as a reflex reaction. A shock gobble reveals a bird's location without letting him know a hunter is in the area, allowing the hunter to reposition and set up before beginning the actual calling sequence. The Quaker Boy Challenging Jake tube call produces gobbling sounds used to trigger the territorial aggression of dominant toms.

Box calls require periodic chalk application to the paddle and box edges to maintain friction and sound quality. Keep box calls dry and store them in a call case or bag to prevent moisture from warping the wood. Never apply chalk to a friction call surface. Pot calls with glass, slate, or crystal surfaces should be lightly scuffed with fine steel wool or a call conditioner before each use to remove oils and surface glaze. Striker pegs should also be conditioned by lightly sanding the tip. Store friction calls in a case to protect the surface from scratches and contamination.
