I'm really enjoying this forum. If nothing else, it helps me take some trips down memory lane. If I tend to ramble at times, forgive me, or tell me to just shut up.
I've never done any turkey hunting, but I might have to give it a try this spring just to have an excuse to take my Parker out in the woods. Since I know little and nothing about it, I'd be shocked by any success but on the other hand, if I don't kill anything, I don't have to clean it.
Sort of catch and release hunting. Any morning in the woods is a good morning I suppose. I heard a turkey just yesterday when I stepped out on the porch about first light.
I've got a box call that my grandfather made, I don't know how many years ago, but he's been dead for about forty years. I suppose the call is much older. I never knew him to do any turkey hunting when I was a kid. There weren't even any turkey's around that I knew of.
It's a simple cedar box, about 4x3x1, carved out of a single block of wood. It's got a small piece of slate about 3" long that you rub chalk on, then rub the lips of the box over. It sounds pretty good to me, but then I'm tone deaf as a post.
No help to the original question, I know.
