New call idea

[Bowguy]

Saw taikwalks post n thought of something. No one has made a call that sounds like turkeys scratching yet to my knowledge. Maybe something in a bag almost like the horn rattling thing? Or something in a tube you shake like a waterfowl feed chuckle thing? Or maybe like the acorn crunch deer thing?  Idk it seems like a missing call. I guarantee it'll sell. Prob even become a craze for a bit. Who wants to go partners?

I've used a plastic grocery bag for years, and even the wrap that snack crackers come in.  I think Preston Pittman had something similar at one time.

There is generally leaves around all my set ups, so don't really see the need to clutter the vest with anything else.

Was a joke Mark. Of course none of the guys here would buy them but the primos crowd

Haha!  Can't leave out HS Strut (with the world changing screaming hen!! )

Someone has a patent on a scratching "caller".  I didn't check the patent date, but it appears that so far the inventor hasn't been successful in marketing the contraption.  No wonder considering all the natural leaves one finds when hunting.

I've got it! - what we need is not the call, but the sound MAKER. What sounds like a turkey scratching??? Turkey feet raking leaves, of course! Manufacture an over-sized (magnum) turkey leg / foot that the hunter will use to scratch the leaves that are already there! Brilliant!! Every real turkey hunter just knows that old gobbler knows the difference between a hunter's gloved hand and turkey foot scratching leaves...right?

Laugh all you want.  I've seen enough ridiculous products to know that, with proper marketing, you could get people to buy a bag of poop.

I'd be a rich man. My two Labradors are a poop factory.

Good idea Bowguy-- but I too scratch around my set-up. Now in a warehouse that I used to work at--the owners son got my attention pronto when he shook around a 2 and a half foot long sheet of ALUNIMUM. It sounded just like thunder to me. Now maybe something like that could be marketed if it was small enough. I am sure someone else heard a alunimum sheet shake 50+ years ago and thought--THUNDER as I did.   

[quavers59]

Anybody else here--hear a alunimum sheet shake as I wrote about??  At the time- I too thought-- now that is a great idea for a new shock gobble call that will make ALL the toms gobble and not just a few!!  Who would market something like that though??  So- I forgot all about it untill reading this topic. Perhaps a Call Company will now market a device like that that sounds like THUNDER. Send some money my way-LOL.

Using natural leaves is ok, but it rains a lot in the spring. I've found scratching in wet leaves to be ineffective. What we need is an artificial, waterproof, always crunchy leaf. You could carry a sack full out to your spot and spread them around. You would have dry crunchy leaves at your fingertips, even in a downpour. And as an added bonus you would always have a dry place to sit.

How about a back scratcher looking thing that's shaped like a turkey foot?  Beats the stick I usually pick up in the woods.  It'd sell.  I'll just wait for you to mail me royalty checks boys.
