ABSTRACT:
A wild game call of the box and striking plate variety is provided that can easily produce superior sound variety, sound quality, and volume control with minimal user input. The invention comprises a box with a base portion and substantially vertical sidewalls, which form an opening, and a striking plate, which provides a striking surface, and a bottom surface. The striking plate further includes a main body portion, which is adhered to the sidewalls to form the top of the box, and a protruding portion adjacent the opening, which extends over and beyond the opening. The striking plate provides a striking surface, which may be comprised of a single material, or of multiple friction materials. Hollow structures such as channels and grooves are also provided to alter the sound of the call.
