Wingbone yelpers

[quackaddict]

Decided to try to make some wingbone calls from the gobblers me and my buddy killed. It was a pretty damn fun project. I wish I would have used thread and acrylic instead of painting and epoxying the joints like I did, but they'll work.

Very Cool looking! Nice job.... I gotta try using one again, last time it didn't sound so good. (user error)

They do take some practice, but if you can hit the notes right, they'll sing real purdy.

Looking good! Funny this came up as I was on a project startup trip last week in Indiana and talking hunting with a guy there and he gave me one of his wing bone calls he made. I will post a photo later. It's not purdy like yours, but it's shorter and he used a drilled out deer antler for the last tail section, which I thought was cool. I've been practicing on it this week and it certainly is taking me some work to make it sound half way decent! I still have one of three turkey tags left so I may try for another bird and give this a try and see if I can scare anything off...

Those are good looking calls. I made a couple a few years back( not as fancy as yours) but still have'nt killed a bird with them . The wingbone and a tube call are about the only calls I've not killed a bird with. All in due time I guess. Gotta keep practicing.

Looks pretty good. How much time you have into making them?

Here's the one that a guy gave to me that I mentioned above.

Thanks guys. They aren't near as fancy as some...I actually think they're a little crude, but in a "native" way.

Dangerous, that antler call is pretty cool looking.

Aron, I've probably got 4 hrs or so in each one...including 45-ish minutes of boiling them
