I Challenge all Callmakers..................

[pappy]

Ok this may sound a little off, but I would like to challenge every callmaker, no matter their expertise, or lack of, to make a turkey call using the below listed scrap.
1. tin can or sardine can
2. pine 2 by 4
3. legos
4. old photographs
5. assorted springs
6. balloons or rubber bands
7. slate
8. old CD's
9. acrylic or latex paint
10. glue or fasteners of some type
Make whatever kind of call you want, it has to make a sound at least similar to a turkey, crow, owl or other call used in turkey hunting and it has to be able to withstand the pressures of being used more then once. It cannot be vulgar. You have to come up with a name, and an advertising slogan to describe the call. like you were placing it out on the open market.
Pictures have to be submitted, and since not everyone is able to make sound bites, we are just going to have to be able to trust that the call is workable....you will have 10 days from Monday to start, July 11th through July 20th. Then there will be a grace period of two days to post pics, July 21st and 22nd. Then we will take our votes. Everyone will vote and judge, like we did on the oddest trade post. We will vote for three days, 23rd - midnight the 25th, and on the morning of the 26th, we will see who has come up with the wildest or craziest or the best looking or what ever call. Bragging rights will be the prize....callmaker will be crowned " Greatest Scrap Callmaker of the year"
Now I know season is slower for some, then others, so this should give you something to do, have fun and be creative.....pappy

Does the call have to have all of those ingrediants or just some of them?

That's a great question, they have to have at least some of them incorporated into the call.

Can't wait to see a few of these calls. I'm not a call maker, but I have made a few decent sounding pot calls from the bottom of an aluminum can and a plastic skoal can. I also made a few tube yelpers from snuff cans and........(well that ain't bubble gum in those machines in quick stop restrooms.........lol

  This is gonna be fun & interesting

Well, I guess I'll be the first one to take up the challenge pappy.

This is my tuna can call.  I incorporated at least 3 of the things you listed into it.  Tin can, slate and glue and there is also some cedar on the inside.

The call features slate/glass with 2 sound chambers.

Great overall sound quality with good volume and produces outstanding clucks and purrs.
I found that a canarywood striker works best with this call.

Here is a one time offer buy two and get one FREE!  (I hope you guys understand I'm kidding theres no way I would want to sell these things) Ha!

This is a great call for hunters and fishermen because it "Sounds like a turkey and smells like a fish."

So far, Pappy, I don't know whether I love you or hate you. The jury is still out.

[TRKYHTR]

I got one done. I'll post pics tomorrow. I want to make a sound file to send with it. Unless it wont make a turkey sound.

Here is my call. I took a few pics as I was making the call. I also have a sound file of the call at the bottom. The only thing I wasn't able to put on/in the call was a leggo. I had no access to leggos and didn't want to buy one just for this.
