I have been useing strickly slate calls for most of my turkey hunting carreer, but for the last two years I wanted to try somthing different. I was interested in trying to make my own wing bone call and kill a bird with it. So I made one out of the wing bones of a bird a couple years ago and after practiceing all year I got pretty good. The only sound I could do though was a yelp. Not sure if you can make any other sounds with it or not? But I ended up calling in a bird opening day with it and shot it within the first hour of my hunt. Around here, after a few days of people chaseing birds around the birds got wise and call shy. Well, my friend wanted me to take him and I told him I was going to try to use a wingbone call and he didnt like that idea so we stuck to the slate call for awhile. After two hours of nothing, I told him I wanted to give my wing bone call a chance at our next calling location. I called three times a bird gobbled back in the timber about 75 yards away. So we hurried up and sat up and while trying to find a spot I lost my call. Then the bird started getting gobble crazy so out of nowhere I decided to cuff my hands and attempt to try to make a yelp and I ant going to lie, It sounded good. I stopped calling and the was in hour face and down stone cold before I had any idea what had just happend. I think that this call can be very effective when Birds have heard most every other call and this call has a sound of its own that most birds have never heard. Anybody outhere have any luck with this call, and can make other sounds besides a yelp.

As the name implies, I'm a fan, and, I use them a lot successfully. Besides a yelp, You can do some very realistic cutting and a very dead-on cluck, loud or soft. And since I have it around my neck, it's my go-to striker for my slate call. Works wet or dry.

SHHH allot of times my wing bone call wiil get a responce when nothing else will especially in areas that the birds have been called at allot

Wingbone user here too! Agree with Wingbone! You can do more than just yelp - get creative!

And I am the guy who posted how to make yer own and will do so again.

I have many new tips how to put them together.....


And as a striker - Wingbone has it correct. Bone yelpers can doouble as a pot striker.Even betterthat I save all my drumstick bones as that also makes a nice two bone suction call and is a fantastic striker on any ole pot call!

As I said ya just gotta get creative!
