The customer wanted them plain and rustic so I did em and he likes em.
He said I dont want that fancy stuff.... :laf:
Thanks for looking

They are pretty white  :laf:
Nice job Al

Those look great.  Have seen those but have no idea how they make them.  I am going to have to do some research.

I'm sure they look great, but what do they do :shrug:  you normally post good stuff so why would these be any different.

Barry:
You suck on the skinny end Kinda like a backwards kiss and it makes a yelping sound like a hen turkey....very hard to master but it is one way the Indians used to call turkeys. :wink:

Here is a short Vidieo of me calling with a trumpet which works much the same way.....

Hey that is pretty cool eh.  I'd have a mite of a problem just sucking on bone someone sent me so I may have to figure out how to build one of them out of tame turkey wing bones.  Thanks for clearing that up for me Al :highclap:

Let me know if ya need help....I can tell ya how to degrease and bleach them.....then fit them and glue them. :wink:

:roflmao: :roflmao:

Man I needed that this morning needed to clean my keyboard out anyway. :laf: :laf:


I have never tried one of these either. Kee Kee used to make and sell these and they were very cool and well made. I almost bought one of his with the display wish I had now.

Good clip AL like the sound they make very clear.

Well heck Al now you make it sound like there is work involved and being a lazy person that dosn't sound right to me :whew:.  How about if you build me one and send it on up here :wink:.  I'll let the wife test drive it[just to be safe you know] :innocentwhistle: and then I can do some more learning.  I think you know where to send the Bill. :shrug:

CCP sorry about the clean keyboard but you obviously have some reservations too :laf:

Barry CCP already knows what it is like to have a bone give to him to put to his mouth  :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

Right :laf:  I forgot about that one :doh2:

Alright I stepped all in that one. :doh2:

:noway:

I thought the trumpets were easier to use then the wingbones, but I  have never used either. Al can you post a clip of you doing that on a wingbone call?

I can try Jimbo but I will have to slobber on a bone....... :roflmao: :roflmao:

I think the wingbone sounds better but I am out of practice.....
The only real difference in using them is the tapper on the end and a smaller hole on the trumpet yet they both require a lot of practice to master and ya got to keep it up to stay that way.

Here ya go Jmbo wing bone yelper....

Well you may as well charge him then Al!! Ya gotta make the rent somehow buddy!!  :roflmao: :roflmao:


Actually that does sound purdy good.

Hey that sounds good.  Who the Sam Hill was the first to think of calling turkeys with a wingbone.  I'm thinking a wingnut.  What's the diffeence between a trumpet and a wingbone?

I would say the Indians were first but who knows... :shrug:
Here is the difference.......no voice inside just a hole....the rubber stop is just an anchor point like a kisser button on a bow.

A lot of trumpets and wingbones are way more fancy ...I even made one once with the turkeys spurr in the middle bone and deer horn on the bell end.

Nice chumface, nice. :wink:

You been talkin to Dave aint ya?  .......... :laf:

 :roflmao:

 :roflmao: :roflmao: :laf:

So does anyone know where i could purchace these most illustrious items as I don't have a clue what you are talking about again :doh2:.  I kinda/sorta thought I knew what a kisser button was but I'm obviously wrong again[I must hold the record for that now eh].   I sure don't know how to make the deer bone connect to the spur bone etc. :shrug:

PM me with what you need Barry and I will hook ya up......I can do the wingbones quick I am working on some now, but the trumpet will take time as I need some parts.

Barry, this was posted a while back but you may have missed it. You want to see some more examples of yelpers and trumpets, check these out.

This guy, kinda like HuntnCarve, hand carves all his. Ole timer from South Carolina been making this stuff for many moons. I think most of it is completely out of my price range, but it's still cool to look at.

NICE work!  :bowingsmilie: :bowingsmilie:
But how does a  Decorative Call Work?
Is it for turkeys with ADD?.........SHINY........ :laf:

Jumping Horny Toads Jim, you trying to get me denutted :wo:  Thanks for that and I do remember looking at that page and thinking WOW.  Now I'll be checking the carrier goose biweekly looking for something like that.

Irving Whitt is a "Master" and in a league of his own!   Just unadultered talent!

I love his work, I just found it odd to see listed on his web site ......Working calls......&.....Decorative Calls.
I guess I just think they should all be hunted with... :shrug:

Holy Crap Batman!!!! :shck: Thats some awesome hand work there

He asked me to build that website for him a coupe years ago. I'm  not particularly fond of it. He had his mind made up that he didn't want anything high tech, or too in depth. And he meant it.

But if I remember right, the reason for calling the decorative calls that, was because those were what he considered highly decorated. Hell they are all highly decorated to me :laf: But he's strong on the fact that every one of his calls is built for and should be used. The term decorative calls was simply used to categorize the calls that he puts that "over the top" touch into.

He should consider changing that.......They are all Wonderful and it just reads wrong or something. M2C

I'll have you all know that it was with great trepidation that I tried sucking on the bone :iroll: and just like the trumpet I couldn't make a peep. :doh2:  Wife wouldn't suck on the bone either :argh:, but Bob for some reason can make some sounds with the thing. :yoyo:

He really likes these instruments Al and I am so happy that he does cause Don is the music man in the family and he hasn't got the same sounds from it yet.   :wo:
   I have been a mite busy again this week and am going to bed but I really enjoy learning this stuff from you people on this forum.  I may have the only two boys who have ever seen these up in these parts and that means a lot to me and them.  I'm sorry for the p'poor videos but this is all I have for a video taking camera.
(http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh145/pitw75/videos/settingsunpics096.jpg)

 :congrats: He's not camera shy is he  :nono:

That is really cool that he can take some of these calls and work them like he does. He's getting a big head start on the game :congrats:

That one in the Video is the trumpet........Point it toward your lap and put it in the corner of your mouth......less work and you can make different sounds easier.  :wink:
I am glad they are enjoying these .....did ya get the squallers I sent ya.....I threw in an extra one so there would be pleanty to go around........ :biggrin:

Not bad!!!  :yoyo:
