ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a turkey call device for reliably producing accurately simulated calls of a wild turkey. The device includes a sound box (10) having an acoustical chamber (26). An elongated rod (34) is carried in opposing sidewalls of the box for reciprocating motion and has affixed thereto a striker block (40). A striker peg (42) depends downwardly from the striker block to make a predetermined angle with a slate striker plate (22). A biasing spring connected between a point (48) on the striker block and a point (46) on the box has a line of force parallel to the line of contact between a peg contact surface (42b) and the striker plate (22). By locating the striker peg (42) between the elongated rod (34) and the biasing spring (44), wear of the plexiglass striker plate is automatically compensated for. The striker block and striker peg are pretensioned and start from the same point as determined by a stop (52) so that uniform signals are simulated at the beginning of repetitive sound strokes of the reciprocating rod.
