Call was made by a C McCullough as a meal ticket for his Grandson when he went off to war. War Between the States. C McCullough was a gunsmith and mountain man that made flintlock rifles in the NC mountains. Grandson was named Pvt. Artemis Pritchett, in a letter to his married sister S. Pickens he states he fed half his camp with a pair of young gobblers killed during the Mississippi campaigns. Call was carried the duration of the War, and to my knowledge is the oldest yelper type call in the country. And its just as deadly today as it was then, that I have personal testimony to

This gobbler never answered my calls but his group of hens did. I softy called from an old road through the woods. A hen responded so I stepped off the road and took a seat. She kept talking so I laid my gun down so I could hold my phone to video. She came right in and was followed by 3-4 more hens. I had no idea he was there until I glanced to the left and saw his red head. He was in full strut trailing about 20 yards behind the hens. They worked past me at 15-20 yards. When he went behind a tree I snatched up my gun and finished the deal as soon as he stepped out.

I'm so glad you acknowledged him as a "yank."
Hopefully that will turn off some people and loosen up the demand!

He's just rambling about someone I guess. That call was made 60+ years before any Turpin yelper or 30+ years older than the Jordan call, oldest suction type turkey call in the country. And maybe the only existing call that fed soldiers in a time of war. Plain Folk in a Rich Mans War

Question is, how many of these pics were simply "posed" with the yelpers. ;D

No idea, nor care, but I can count at least 12 that I know died from a trumpet call.
