Bring in the birds with natural-sounding squaks and gobbles. From distance calls to subtle temptations, achieve the right sound with the help of the following wild turkey calls:
- Turkey box calls operate by holding the base of each call and moving the top across a swivel point. These are simple to use, though they are generally composed of wood and not suited for hunting in wet conditions
- Turkey mouth calls are designed with a ridged, U-shaped structure and soft rubber piece. The entire piece is placed in the hunter's mouth, where they apply pressure with their tongue to push air over the rubber reed
- Turkey slate calls include a striker piece made of wood or plastic and a base made of glass or slate. Move the striker over the base in a circular motion to produce sound. These calls require both hands, but are excellent at producing loud sound
Different types of turkey calls produce different sounds. Research each product to learn what calls it will create. Some help you master a purring or cutting, while others help you gobble hoot and crow like a tom.
Many experienced turkey hunters head into to the field with two types of calls for variety.
