Title: Another design for agitating stubborn birds
Post by: KentuckyHeadhunter on June 17, 2016, 06:52:51 PM

I think I like this design and I plan on making many more of these. The sound holes are my "Agitator" design with acoustic horn sound ports. The wood is rough sawn walnut (I left the saw marks because I like them) and some really nice yellow poplar. I'm running it with a 100 year old cherry striker from some very old furniture.
The video has a lot of background noise and I did it intentionally to experiment with the volume. I think it will do the trick. Thanks for the look.

Nice call and a neat design! I'm sure it will be the death of a Gobbler this coming Spring.

Thank you Kelvin and Dale. I appreciate the compliments. DC1 took three gobblers this spring with my hooch box and I appreciate the field testing. He's a turkey slayer and apparently knows how to run a scratcher!

I wish I could see a close up of how you were working the call at the 11 second mark. How did you make so many fast clucks in a row?

Life of Riley I really need to make a better video but here is a really brief clip of one of my other scratchers. I play them all the same anyway. The fast cutting is done by simply leaving the soundboard on the striker and twitching your hand. I hope this helps . I really hate this video but I think it may be helpful .

Bottom line Allen can flat out run a scratch box.
