How To Make a Turkey Call in 10 Minutes

Turkey Tube Call - to make one, use a piece of bamboo at least 1 1/2 inch wide and some cheap latex gloves from the store. If no bamboo is available, empty spice and pill containers and film canisters with the bottoms removed can be used.

The tube call will make an array of wild turkey sounds, including cutts, putts and clucks, yelps, kee-kee runs, purrs, and even gobbles. Pretty much every wild turkey vocalization can be made with a tube call. Clucking is easiest to master and only some practice is needed to sound fairly decent with a tube call.

Have you called in any turkeys with it

[catman529outdoors]

@hossgobbler12 I've killed 4 birds in my life... one spring jake, and 3 fall hens (in one shot) and all were called with a homemade tube call like this.

I didn't know a homemade call could sound so good!!!!nice call

@hossgobbler12 Thanks!

Hey i tried this but I could only get a high pitched whistle when I used it with my top lip on the plastic (I know that is not how to use it). Any tips?

[catman529outdoors]

@shmellhole123 Keep messing around with it and trying different positions, amounts of pressure, and amounts of air that you blow through the call. And even your tongue can control the sound somewhat - saying "shuck" makes a better yelp than just blowing and moving your mouth.

Great job! When I began turkey hunting, I resorted to homemade tube calls because I couldn't afford any of the expensive store bought calls. Now, about 16 years later, I still prefer the tube calls because they are the most versatile and effective calls I have. Sometimes, I go to the woods with only one or two homemade tube calls and a few spare latex reeds.

@UltimateCountryChick LOL! Toilet paper roll? Don't think so!!!

Seriously, anything (PVC, pipe, conduit, pill container) that is round with an inside diameter of about 3/4", an outside diameter of about 1" and one to two inches long will work. You can also get real fancy and turn one on a lathe. Some of my best tube calls were made with various pieces of PVC pipe, 3/4" EMT conduit or PVC fittings.

Can you use a toilet paper roll? Lol... I'm deperate and could only find a half inch PVC pipe, and that didn't work....

Is the reed made out of the glove?
