Youth call

[hunter24605]

Watching my 9 y/o grandson struggle to use a full size sate call. I came up with a smaller 3” slate in purpleheart. Much easier for him to manipulate. Also scaled the striker down. Hope to put it to use this weekend. Supposed to rain the rest of the week so hopefully we’ll be able to get across the creek.

Good luck. Awesome little call!

Well done! Good for you. You know the old saying, "Necessity is the mother of invention".

It’ll be a cool hunt with a call I made him and his .410 is his great. Grandpa’s Win 42 that’s been in my family since the early 50’s

Best of luck! What is your choice of shells for the little .410 and turkey?

I would love to use bismuth or TSS, but this gun was made in the 40’s so pretty much restricted to lead what works is REM express 3” #6. I think Santa is going to bring a new 410 for TSS

Nice looking call Howie. Best of luck to your grandson. Hope he calls in a long beard and smokes him with the 410!

last Saturday was youth day for spring gobbler . our lease had 4 youth hunters , 2 were successful . one bird was shot at 40 - 45 yards . both used a 410 shooting TSS #9 shot . the guys are buying savage / stevens single shots , they come with a cheap red dot sight , and cost around $150 - $200 . I'm not sure if the local gun shop is putting this combo together , or if it's packaged this way from savage . I think it was 3 years ago , a gobbler was shot at just over 70yards with this 410 gun and TSS ammo .

EDIT ; we had 4 youth hunters , 2 were successful . I forgot one youth hunter .

That is neat!

Neat looking call Howie. Here's hoping you and your grandson connect on a gobbler.

That 42 is like GOLD here in Pa. Saw 4 of them sell at auctions. None went for under 3 grand.

Yeah, I’ve been offered some pretty steep prices for it. But I’ll never part with it.

Can't say I blame you. BTW need little call you made.

You'll have to fight a scrappy 10 y/o for it .....PM me and I'll get you the particulars on one. I don't want to re-finish it, but I am sending it out for springs and other parts that wear over time.
