I have a couple dried out wing tips but I'm always leary of bringing them to the woods because of all the wing-nuts out there. I use my hat sometimes. A a piece of cloth snapped taught makes a great sound too.

You wouldn't have a picture or a web link of this product would you ?
I haven't seen or heard of those before.

I have a couple of wings in the freezer waiting. For those that use real wings, do you dry them with the feathers spread? I'm eager to try it in April. I haven't had any luck with my hat...

RDhunter, I believe that I got it from Wing Supply. I just recently finished up a roll of film in my 35mm camera and took the roll in today to get developed. If I would of seen your post earlier, I could of taken a pic and posted it on this forum. You can make one if your wife sews.
Cut a piece of camo material 7" X 22" long, (rectangle shapped).
Fold over the ends approx, 1/2" on the two longer sides, the cut a piece of wooden dowel 1/2" in diam. approx 5/1/2" long and rol the fabric onthe ends around the dowel then stitch up. I prefer this to an actual turkey wing, since you can roll it up and stuff it into a vest pocket.

I got lucky, checked on Pittmans website and here it is!!

Cool ... thanks for the link.

I second the hat idea. It works just fine for me. The thing about turkey hunting is that you might have to move a lot. By the time you factor is a couple decoys, couple calls, gun, and any other supplies you take, that last they you want to do is carry around 'the real wing'. It don't fit nicely in a fanny pack. If hunters owned all the different gadgets out on the markey today, we would be toting around a couple suitcases.

mine ties to my vest and slips in the carry pouch at the back which is big enough to tote a 20 plus pound gobbler. Don't even know it's there. It weighs nothing. when I want it I just reach behind my back and grab it.

RE: Real Wing
 

i use my hat too......i agree , the less stuff you have to tote when youre going to the gobble, the better.

I have used The Wing by Primos with Some success. Its like all calls, sometimes it works, sometimes not!

I was hunting with a buddy a few years ago. He was positioned just out in front of me and off to one side. We had just started spring gobbler hunting, and right at daylight there were two old birds gobbling from the roost. I did some light yelps and waited a few minutes. I then eased my hat off and gave a flydown cackle and used my hat to simulate a flydown. It scared him to death! Heducked down and froze still as a stone.LOL!I couldn't help but laugh. He turned around and saw that my hat was in my hand. He said he thought a turkey was about to land on his head.
