Redesigned turkey call

[hunter24605]

Tinkering with a design that’s more “glove friendly” I cut it with a wider finger groove and rounded the angles. It’s easier to hold in a gloved hand, but cosmetically I think the old style is prettier. Guess it depends on if you want a woods call or a collectible.

That's a nice looking call Howie. I bet it sounds great.

Since I don't hunt turkey (saw some once way up here in the north, but they were escaped from a farm I suspect), the collectibles are more appealing to me. However, I can recognise the utility of that call.

What is with turkeys and geese, they can’t seem to wait to escape your neck of the woods?

 

[DrMike]

Right! The geese know where it is warmer and head there each winter (just like my wife). Turkeys can't tolerate the cold winters. They are found in the southeast tier of the province right along the US border. I believe they are illegal immigrants. Hmmmm? Wonder if those are Mexican turkeys?

You bring up a bucket list item of mine. Going to the Yucatán and hunt ocellated turkey…they are a handsome bird! Wonder if they’d understand my calls

I suppose these turkeys in southern BC could have had a bus ticket from NYC allowing them to escape Bidenomics. So, apparently, Canadians can shoot interlopers sneaking across the border. And, the ocellated turkeys are a very attractive bird.

Your call would work, just dip the striker in salsa and call away.

Another good-looking call that is made for function. If it sounds as good as the one, I got, and you made Landon I'm sure it will lure the gobblers into their death. Dan.

Reminds me of a time hunting on public land adjacent to a cattle farm. Had a good sized heifer amble through a gap in the fence separating the two and walk in front of me at a range of maybe five yards (I was just sitting back against a tree, using a bush as a blind). Presented a nice broadside shot, too.

*EDIT* Oh, yeah, the call. I think I've said it before, but if not, I will say it now. Those are equal parts function and art. You have a gift.

So, can we take it that your venison weighed out at around 650 pounds that year?
