Description

The innumerable variations of turkey calls made is truly amazing. The effectiveness of a design may differ depending on who made it, and when and where they were hunting. There are calls designed with specific purposes in mind for wild turkey vocalizzations. How a call is "played" is also a variable. Regardless, as turkey hunters we can appreciate the effort put forth in crafting these instruments, as it comes from a place of shared passion. This call is unique in its form, with a narrow, elongated paddle. Also visible is a tuning peg inserted between the sideboards. The little details such as the ball on the thumbrip, grooves on the box body, and rounded paddle end all speak to the love of the maker.
