Bought one this winter to try. But will bring my 30 year old lynch box call also. It can hunt better than I can. :grin:

I do. Can't claim I ever had any luck with the "commercial variety", but the last couple years have had decent luck using homemade calls. I carry a wide variety of calls and like to take their temperature. Whatever gets a response is generally what I stick with. That said...I don't like to overcall. I think that's why I like the wingbone so much now. I put it away early and let him come "a lookin." Those mouth calls are just too easy to keep yack'n it up!

I know what ya mean about yaken it up. I tell newbies call like you have 10 grizzly bears in the woods with you can they eat turkey hunters.
My Dad that is the one call he used 99.5% of the time and kilt quite a few using it in heavly hunted public land. His was made out of aluminum tubing about 4" long. We've cut river cane and used them also. The hardest parts of learning the wingbone call is one: getting over it tickling your lip then two: getting the two tones out of the yelp with it. Get your jaw moving a little helps with getting the two tones. I can say I've killed a couple using one but my Dad was a master at getting them to come to it.
Might have to take that stroll down memory lane an cut a cane and give it a try this year.

I use one occasionally. I used to make them out of turkey wings. I always keep one in my pack. I made a couple out of the very first turkey I ever killed. I think they are pretty useful later in the season when the gobblers have been exposed to every call known to man. Maybe it's just a frequency they've never heard but I have called a few in using the ole wingbone.

I do, some, made from a wing bone of a turkey I killed, and a box call I made. Sometimes I carry a slate call and a 1 finger push box, that makes nice purr sounds. I can make a diaphram work but it tickles the roof of my mouth....Robin
