I have recently received a true piece of American Folk Art, it is one of my friend M Sharpe's custom wingbone yelpers. It is a fine piece for sure! The call is made from hen bones and a gobbler bone, the mouthpiece and middle section is made of the hen bones and the gobbler bone is the bell of the call. It is a one of a kind of Mr. Sharpe's calls and I can almost promise no one else has one exactly like mine.
He stained the call for me and wrapped it in a nice dark green where it will not stick out while hunting. Right now this call is a main piece on my mantle but I know Mr. Sharpe expects it to be in the woods next season chasing those beautiful longbeards and I can assure you it will be around my neck this coming season.
It makes a mature hen sound with rasp that the two notes of the yelp break perfectly and the clucks are nice a sharp just the way I like them. It is versatile by making then hen notes but it can also produce wonderful gobble notes as well. This call is hand made and you will not find a finer call that brings you back to the days of old! Thanks again Mr. Sharpe!
