Any advice for learning the wingbone yelper? I've taken on the challenge of trying to learn this difficult (for me) call in the last week or so. I purchased one of the wood/acrylic versions. I don't have any hunting buddies who use this call so I've been on my own.
The sound I'm achieving at this point sounds closer to a squirrel bark than a hen yelp. But I'm not giving up. I'll practice for months if I have to (or longer).
I feel like I need to get with someone who has mastered the wingbone for a little tutoring.
Any suggestions? |

Mtnbuk: I don't use a wingbone yelper but I have a good friend who swears by them. I have one he made for me. The wingbone does not really sound good up close, but at a distance it sounds good. I imagine getting the cadence and double note (like with any turkey call) is most important. My friend swears by the wingbone. He believes they are effective in high pressure areas because few people use them and birds don't get conditioned to the sound. There may be something to that. I've noticed that high pressured birds tend to respond better to friction calls for me. My friend likes the wingbone for late season. They are usually high pitched. I imagine gobblers think it's a young hen. |
