Post New call....
...for me anyway!
I've been toying with wingbones and trumpets off and on for a few years now.
I actually called a bird in last year with a wingbone.
I've had the honor to talk and call with a former 3 time All Around Calling Champion whose call of choice is a wingbone.
With his tutoring I now have full confidence to use a bone.

Oh...GN thinks I'm crazy to stray away from my tube calls but I told him I like the challenge :)

Happy Easter and Good Luck to all!!!

The real question is HOW MANY Barry will kill with a wingbone call ...no question in my mind that they will start falling this spring. Best of luck Barry GN

Awesome looking call. Had a friend over 50 years ago whose father made them. I never could figure them out, but he could really call in the gobblers with them.

That is one unique looking call. Good luck! If all else fails you can always fall back on the doans tube.

Beauty call. I started messing around last year making wingbone calls. Got a few of different sizes and pitches. I tagged out second week last year so went out scouting to find my nephew a bird. I went into the woods solo w just a wingbone planning on listening for gobbles and practicing some w the call.
Didn’t hear any birds singing at first light so worked my way to a high point overlooking a valley. I gave a few yelps on the ole wingbone and had a Tom answer me. Well, he was pretty far off, so I just sat back and enjoyed the morning and enjoying my “success” and didn’t call again.
About 45 minutes later here he comes right into 25 yds! Never gobbled again.

I went w my nephew two days later wasn’t able to get the gobbler to come in again.
Oh well. Playing the game.

They definitely work; only bit of advice is don’t call a lot w one. Just a few soft yelps was all it took
