In this video I attempt to make a wing bone turkey call. This is an ancient Native American hunting call that was ingeniously devised from parts of the same animal that was hunted.
"...Historians and archaeologists say that wing bone turkey calls date back perhaps 6500 years.
Native American peoples made yelper calls from the three main bones in a turkey's wing..."[1]
1). Thick part - humerus
2). Second thickest part - ulna
3). Thin part - radius
These are cut down and interested into one another and then made air-tight with a gluing agent such as pine-pitch, epoxy, or super-glue and Elmer's glue mixed together.
