Reasons to Make Your Own Turkey Calls

  • Availability

    Never again will you be without your favorite mouth call. As long as you have access to the supplies, you will forever be able to make the same call, time and time again.

  • Tailored to You

    If you want a pair of basketball shoes, do you just go and buy the shoe that LeBron James wears thinking that his shoe will be a perfect fit and make you a better basketball player? For most of us, we go to the shoe store and try on many shoes, selecting the one that fits best. However, this is not the way that we buy mouth calls. We typically watch a pro caller blow a call and then buy it thinking we can sound just like them. The downside of buying mouth calls is that once you buy it, you can’t return it. However when you make your own mouth calls, you can test fit many versions at a minimal cost until you find that perfect fit.

  • Customization

    Making your own calls has that unique benefit where you can make minor changes to custom fit your mouth call to get the perfect sound needed. Just like hand loading ammunition or fletching your own arrows, you can get the perfect sounding call that mass manufacturing just can’t achieve.

  • Calling Competitions & Call Making Competitions

    Crafting your own turkey mouth calls allows for precise customization to match your unique calling style, giving you an edge in competitions. This control over sound quality and consistency can set you apart from competitors. Plus, the ability to fine-tune and adapt your calls ensures you're always ready for varying competition scenarios.

    There are many call making competitions available where you make several sets of mouth calls and judges personally test your calls and rank them based on the quality of sounds they can make. Did I mention you can win medals and trophies to flaunt your call making skills?

  • Income

    Have friends or family that hunt? Make them some mouth calls, free samples this year, and I guarantee you they will be coming back for more next year. I have a list of friends that contact me every spring, asking me to make them some calls.

    Looking to start a custom call making business? Mouth calls are an inexpensive and easy place to start.

  • Cost Savings

    You can make a mouth call for just over $1. Think about that. You're paying up to a 1500% more for a call at the store, and you are purchasing it blind not knowing how you can make it perform. Even if it takes you 10-15 tries to perfect your homemade call, you will still be ahead because now you have a call, custom fit to your needs; and you can make the same call every year.

  • Connection to the Hunt

    Killing turkeys is fun. Killing turkeys using a call you made is an unmatched experience. The first time that I had a turkey respond to a call that I made, it just blew me away. It feels incredibly rewarding to know that you created an item, that you then used to interact with a wild animal, in which they thought was a real hen. I guarantee you, there are few feelings better than this.

  • Bragging Rights

    Come on, what’s cooler than being able to tell your buddies that you killed that ol’ tom using a call that you built with your own hands?
