That's some high dollar shnit right there. I never met a turkey that was worth that much scratch.

My two were cheaper than the Woodhaven and Zink calls they sell at Bass Pro and imo are built better.

Also over priced IMO. You don't need to spend that kind of money on turkey calls. That's BS.

Home made yelper/cutter made from 35mm film can and a rubber with a rubber band. Sounds just like the real thing with a little practice-hands down.

Yup. We used to make them all the time. One more use for the now defunct film 'can'.

Lol. That's why I recommend people practice alone in their cars.
Now you tell me!

They're getting hard to find anymore. Go easy when you cut the bottom out these days. Too big or too quick and you can mess it up!
One of the most realistic sounding calls one could have.
I usually slow cook them, but there's no reason you couldn't grind them up. I might try that next time.
We raise Bourbon Reds. It's a heritage breed, so it has more characteristics of wild birds. I will say, I smoke my turkeys when I cook them, and ALL of the meat is good on our birds.

Well, I found a good video from New Hampshire Fish & Game on processing a wild turkey where they use the skinning method. It looks much easier to me and avoids the mess of gutting so I'll definitely be going that route.
Bourbon Reds are one of the top contenders on my turkey breed list. Good to know that smoking them has positive results. Most of the people I've stumbled upon who raise turkeys do it in addition to chickens and they all seem to choose the Broad Breasted White.

Dont buy a BassPro ReadHead Ozark Bottom Owl call.If the turkey is within 50 yards from you,he might hear it.I wish I would have read the ratings before I threw $20 bucks away.With the Covid,there is a no return policy on mouth calls
