Lol...do you mean you want to make a homemade turkey call? I would suggest a wing bone call (made from the three wing bones of a wild turkey), or tube call (made from a .35mm film canister and a latex glove). If you search online, I'm sure you can find directions on how to make both.

So I have to defer to him to answer this one.

The Catch-22 on making a wingbone call is the fact that you have to kill a turkey first to get the necessary wing bones. Also, I'm told that hen's wing bones make the best calls and it's illegal to kill hens where I hunt.

BioGuy is right that tube calls and wingbone calls are probably the easiest to make. They aren't easy to use, though. Probably the easiest to use is a scratch box, but they aren't easy to make. Borrow a couple and see how they're put together. Sorry I'm not more help.

a wing bone call is pretty easy to make and you can use a wing from a domestic turkey to get you started . now learning to call with it is a whole other ball of wax altogether . look online there are videos on how to make them and how to call with them . they are fun to make but difficult to master calling with them . try it out i had fun with it this spring .
