I've recently started to make my own calls. Experimenting is part of the fun. Getting a good bird with a call I made myself has almost gotten to be an obsession to me. Call it moving to a new plateau in turkey hunting (note that I didn't say "higher&quot. Even if it sounds like every other call out there, it is still something dirrerent, at least to me.

To date, I've made a wingbone, and friction calls out of a turtle shell, cedar, and crab-apple (the tree blew over on my buddy's fence, so I stole a log off the burn pile and let it season for a year. I just finished it and it sounds pretty good. I gave it to him last Monday and he loved it.)
