Scratch Box Turkey Calls of Unknown OriginEntry/Object ID
VTC003A0020Description
There are turkey calls for which the makers may always remain a mystery, but it does not diminish our appreciation of them even a little. Some of the simplest, most innovative, most beautiful, most crude, and most unique calls are in the realm of folk art turkey calls. That class of calls includes examples that cover all of the aforementioned attributes. Many were built decades ago, even over a century ago, by passionate turkey hunters with what they had or could get. These calls vary in design but are clearly double-sided scratch boxes. They may not have had a striker paired with them originally, as some hunters sanded their gunstocks to use as the striking surface.Collection
