Wanting to make a few calls, other than using bones from birds you've killed, where can you buy them? Found a place on ebay, are there others?
Domestic bones tend to not work well; they're undeveloped and soft. I'd imagine a lot of states would prohibit the sale of wild bones, but I may very well be wrong on that. If you can get with any other hunters a lot of times folks will save bones for you. If you can get with any snow goose hunters the radiuses out of them work incredibly well as mouthpieces; about as henny as you can get without it being a hen.

Thanks, that makes sense. Just wondering how call makers are getting enough bones. Also with season out I wanted something to work on for next year

Most of the really good wingbone makers, so someone like Tony Ezolt, are using the bones from a customer's bird to make the call for them. So with Tony you borax the bones and mail them to him. He keeps them in a freezer, I believe, until he makes the call.

Appreciate the input!
I requested Tony make a wing bone caller from some goose bones I had from some of the geese I killed. He made a great sounding caller.
