We got a lot of Turkeys running around in this town we now live in, but most of them don't have wings. Can you make one out of an Arm bone? :crackup:

I just made two wingbone calls this wk...lot easier to make than to use.

 

[Huntinfool]

Yes Sir,

It took me a couple of weeks just to get good enough that it sounds like a turkey. Made my lip sore too.

I found that I have hold my lips parched very tight and suck in making a kissing like sound! It works fairly well!

But once ya get it down they work pretty good Old Lewis Wetzel supposedly fooled an injun with one. The injun was supposedly trying to lure out some settlers from the protection of a fort or something like that!

Don't know the truthfulness of that tale. But it makes a good story!

You better check your your state game laws for the answer to that one.

I think the wingbone calls were pretty effective for Indians around here once upon a time.

 

[jim gray]

I meant to say the Indians used them effectively to call turkeys and not that they were used to call Indians, but if the Indians were hunting turkeys at the time, who knows?

Took out a 18lb wild turkey from the freezer my father shot last year in N.Y. It should make a couple of nice wing bone calls.

 

I was recently shown how to use a clay pipe for a passable wingbone call. Takes some practice, but you can get some good clucks out of it. Be careful, though, and clean it out first...tabac in the lungs SUCKS!

Hey KyFlintlock,

Is the slate just epoxied onto that shell? How thick do you recon the slate is?

 

[KyFlintlock]

Yeah it is epoxied. My guess is about 3/16s, but I bet you could get away with 1/4". My guess is the thinner the higher pitch...

I am getting STOKED!!!!! I can't wait to hear one THUNDER!

Made my first wingbone call. Wasn't diffacult at all and rather enjoyed doing it. And every once in awhile it does have a great sound...but its gonna take some practice to get consistant lol. Anyways I'm glad I did it.

 

[KyFlintlock]

Nice job. I have one but quite haven't mastered it. WHo am I kidding, as a buddy of mine said, "I sould like a beagle caught in a steel trap with it". :haha:


Good luck

 

[KyFlintlock]

I still ain't figured out how to make this wingbone sound like a turkey!

Anybody else got any pics?

Wess you do it just like you make a noise with a drinking straw.
Stiffin both yer lips and then try it.
Your cheeks will get sore from doing it at first.
It takes a lil practice but it isn't that hard to do.
I have taken an inkpen apart and used it to turkey talk when I have seen them on a back road ride and didn't have a call with me. Amazeing they answered me doing that too.

Good luck!
