Abstract
A box call apparatus including a box frame and a hinged lid pivotally coupled to the box frame. The lid includes a main body section and a sound producing section for contacting the box frame. The main body section of the lid is injection molded. The sound producing section is mounted in a recessed area formed in the main body section. The sound producing section can be made of wood, etched glass, slate, or any suitable material. The relatively small sound producing section reduces the overall amount of fine tuning required in manufacturing the box call, and the overall cost and time required to produce the lid. The lid may include an arrangement for varying the weight along its length to fine tune the sounds produced by the box call.
