Description

Hunters are innovators, and turkey hunters are always seeking a "better mousetrap" in the form of calls that reproduce the voice of the wild turkey. For the most part, turkey calls were historically made locally from readily available materials. Who knows whether this person heard a yelp when dragging a spoon across another surface, but the simplicity of operation and materials incoprated here to talk turkey is something any turkey hunter can appreciate
