A multi-purpose box call having an outside of the box and offset self-centering extension arm to constrain the lid, which permits generation of turkey cutting noises via merely repeatedly tapping an end of the lid in a single direction. No grasping or twisting of the lid is necessary, and no need to locate the proper orientation between the lid and the box is necessary. The box call can be played in a normal manner by removing or overpowering the rubber band.
