One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

Ive  always wondered when call makers make a batch like this. How many do you personally test in the batch before you are satisfied that its a good batch or do you get the recipe and call it good?

Here is my first attempt at a wing bone call that I made from a gobbler I killed last year using a wing bone call for the first time.
Not much to look at, but sounds ok. Going to give it a try in the morning.

I was in the machining trade for 45+ years. (Retired 2019) Around 20yrs ago I got into turning pot calls and strikers.
I mainly use what I've turned but enjoy using box calls, wingbones, and just picked up an EZ cane yelper.

They don't have to look pretty as long as they get the job done!
Good for all of you who make their own calls.
Thank you for sharing with us!

Great picture!

Thank you !!

That was just one of those "picture perfect" mornings.

Would that bird be considered a mossy head?

I guess I didn't even know that was a thing.......

Don't know if that bird is one or not.  All along, I just thought it was a hen turkey.   ;D

Hunted this one or another one just like it (a little less figure) for over 2 decades.

Made em in my basement with a drill press.  I did buy dowels and striker heads and figure out which went best with what.
