Making a wingbine turkey call is easy. There are only 4 basic steps: boiling/cleaning, cutting/fitting, and gluing. The best part is that you can make this call with things that you can get t the grocery store! This video is a little different than the norm-it is meant to be a fun, simple project that you can use to make a piece of history and learn a new skill!
Wingbone turkey calls were not unique to North American either. Archeological evidence reveals their popularity in Europe as well as North America.
I hope you enjoy. The fantastic music is once again from the phenomenal D. Wiggins.

Nice sounding call. I personally prefer a three section call, probably because a good caller only needs two, lol. We still got a foot of snow on the level up here!

Wow! It was 70°F here today. Definitely a weird February for us.

@TheWoodlandEscape 7 месяцев назад

@@thedeerskindiary weird here as well, well above freezing today which is unheard of in a normal winter.

In regards to your pitch glue. I have a couple of additional ingredients you might try on your next batch. One I have heard of but never used is rabbit droppings. The other which I do use when available is cat tail seed pods. These fibers add to the strength acting like modern day fiberglass. Other natural micro fibers may have been used based on available.

@thedeerskindiary 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip! I often use dry grass that’s pulverized but for this use I kept it simple. I’ll have to look at the rabbit droppings too.

Can you use the wingbones from a cooked turkey?

@thedeerskindiary 6 месяцев назад

I have never tried it. Essentially the ones that I used are cooked (boiled not roasted). You might try it and find out! The only thing I could think of that would be different is that well cooked bones may be brittle.

Good video. I too enjoy making and using wingbone calls. I usually make a couple every year and give them to friends. TC

@thedeerskindiary 7 месяцев назад

That’s a great idea. I want to try and scrimshaw one soon.

@TurkeyCreek-ek8mj 7 месяцев назад

A few years ago I called a tom in from about 600 yards across an oat field using nothing but my wingbone call. Looking forward to your video on the scrimshaw. TC

Did the native Americans use the turkey calls to fool enemies

@thedeerskindiary 7 месяцев назад

I don’t know for sure. What I have found is that animal mimicry was used for human communication but it isn’t clear how they did it all the time. The other crazy thing is that we know these calls to be used for hunting but what if they were also used for music? We assume we know based on the archeological evidence but like you mentioned there are other possible uses that have to remain in the aspect of speculation.

Another great video

@jamesvatter5729 7 месяцев назад

Good stuff! One of my favorite calls. I was shown to use pine pitch glue and encase the joint with rawhide. The fellow overlapped the rawhide and put a hole in it to attach a leather thong as sort of a lanyard.

@thedeerskindiary 7 месяцев назад

That’s a great idea. I am currently looking at a shot pouch that supposedly was carried at Kings Mountain. I have my doubts. Anyways it has a turkey call stuck through a slit in a piece of leather hanging from the strap. More to come on that hopefully.
