Quaker Boy Tear Jerker Box Call

The Quaker Boy Tear Jerker Box Call is a premium turkey hunting call engineered for experienced and novice callers alike who demand authentic vocalizations in the field. As part of Quaker Boy's Elevation Series, this box call produces the full range of hen turkey sounds—yelps, cuts, cackles, whines, and purrs—that are essential for establishing dominance, locating roosting birds, and triggering responsive gobbler activity. Compact enough to fit in a vest pocket yet powerful enough to carry across terrain, the Tear Jerker addresses a fundamental hunting need: the ability to replicate natural turkey communication with tonal accuracy and projection control.

Construction quality directly impacts call performance and longevity in harsh field conditions. The Quaker Boy Tear Jerker pairs a Purple Heart wood lid with a Mahogany wood bottom, materials chosen for their tonal properties and weather resistance. The defining innovation is the strategically positioned ToneBlast port built into the lid; rather than trapping sound inside the call cavity, this design allows vocalizations to escape directly through the lid, enhancing projection and clarity across the hunting environment. The friction-based sounding mechanism responds predictably to scraper pressure, enabling hunters to dial in the specific cadence and intensity required for each calling situation—whether mimicking a subdued feeding hen or an aggressive fighting purr.

Turkey hunters pursuing spring gobblers or fall hunting seasons will find the Tear Jerker particularly effective during peak calling hours when visibility is limited and sound carries the entire conversation. The call's modest weight of 0.37 lbs and compact 4.25 x 2.25 x 12-inch profile make it ideal for extended stand time without fatigue or bulk. Whether hunting open timber, creek bottoms, or ridge transitions, the call integrates seamlessly into any turkey hunting system as a primary or backup vocalization tool. Maintenance is straightforward—periodic moisture control and storage in a protective case preserve wood integrity and sounding surface consistency season after season.
