I start at 50, and work my way down to 10

Noticed you were the only one that started high and worked low, how come that is?

Probably because once you're grouping at fifty, ten yards is a gimme!

Two weeks to go and I just robin-hooded at thirty... If it walk out, I'm confident I can take the shot from any angle and any distance up top and including fifty yards. Where my blind is located for the opener, I'll not have a shot beyond thirty. Richloam WMA opening weekend... I'm targeting fall turkey and have a sweet spot with lots of scratching beneath the aoaks and down into a nearby dry cypress head. Tons of scratching. I got the route between the two covered and just made myself a new wingbone yelper to bring 'em close!

Been building and selling wingbone callers for several years now. Duplicates of a pair I found at the Ah tah Tiki Museum at the Big Cypress Seminole Indian Reservation. Grandaddy taught me how to make both two and three bone callers when I was a kid, but the Creek/Seminoles favored one and two bone callers. Allo of mine are two bone. Only difference is I use epoxy to connect them as opposed to clay and pine resin.

I always cary a wingbone in the fall. Even while deer hunting, I always cluck a few times every ten or fifteen minutes. Many times that has brought in a curious bird or two in to my set up; especially of you hear one kee-keeing off in the swamp; that old wingbone will draw him out on a string!
