Who of you on the forum also view turkey calls as a type of American folk art.

Not so much folk art, but musical instruments and tools is my view of them.

Some of them I do.  I love a call that has a story.

I think these are folksy!

I've seen callers covered in folk art

There's plenty of calls out there that I would consider folk art. Wing bones, cane calls, most scratch boxes and my favorite Chisholm trough calls. Love calls with some history and a great story behind them.

 I have a Lonnie Roger's box call that is very nicely finished. On the bottom-side, he describes the different types of wood used to make it, which state the wood came from and the date it was completed. This one is #45 of 100, dated 10/26/2001. Nice ol' gobbler painted on the outside .

Any turkey call with Kelly Puckett's work on it is not folk art its fine art.

Yes, some are folk art. I have tended to enjoy the older style calls and most certainly enjoy the artistic nature of them. Many instruments are considered pieces of folk art and many turkey calls fall into this category.

They certainly can be. I have a few calls that I keep on my fireplace mantle that I wouldn't dream of taking to the woods. I sure do enjoy looking at them though.
