Building your own turkey calls and owl hooters brings immense satisfaction and can give you an edge in the field. Crafting calls lets you tailor tone and response to local birds—and there’s nothing like bagging a gobbler or triggering a gobbler’s gobble with a call you made by hand.
Have you ever wanted to make your own turkey calls?
This book will show you how.
Stu Bristol’s self-published book Building Turkey Calls and Owl Hooters is sure to give new and veteran wild turkey hunters something to do in the off-season while looking forward to the next one.
Available from Deadly Imposter Game Calls, the comb-bound book (for laying flat while building calls from the instructions), is 128 pages. After some introductory material on turkey vocalizations and calling devices, Bristol moves into step-by-step details for building standard box calls, custom box calls, simple pot calls, custom pot calls, wingbone yelpers, scratch boxes and owl hooters. A chapter on call tuning follows.
Black-and-white photos depict each step. Materials for calls aren’t provided of course, but detailed information will have you finding what you need, with suggestions by the author.
Whether you’re a novice or seasoned maker, these techniques will have you crafting professional-grade turkey calls and owl hooters in time for the next season.
