- This week on SMART Tips and Tricks, Walt Ingram teaches viewers how to make a simple and effective wild turkey call.
The call is made from a 35mm film cannister, where the lid is cut into a half moon shape and fourteen to seventeen holes are drilled in the bottom. Latex gloves are used for the reed, which can be adjusted by pressing on splits in the sides of the call.
The call is great for locating turkeys from a long distance away but can also be used to call them in close due to its adjustable volume.
Making your own call brings satisfaction and pride, so if you make one, share it in the comments below - and be sure to Like & Subscribe if you enjoyed the video!

It is a great feeling to call a turkey up with a call you made yourself. I was fortunate enough to find an unfortunate hen on the side of the road years ago. I don’t have any call that sounds any better than that wingbone, and I don’t leave home without it.
Growing up my dad would make these using a balloon as the reed on the film canister.
Iv been using these for over 20 years
Great video Walt! I can’t wait to make my own.
Amazing
I am so looking forward to this
Yep,made many of these.
Just saw a pill bottle used ! Sounds fantastic! Nobody as creative as turkey hunters lol !
Yup we know a few fellas who use a pill bottle over a film canister - might be easier to find those these days!
@@UnionSportsmen being 68 I have a few laying around here lol ! I use em for holding flies for trout fishing! Time to start cutting lol !
I love calling turkeys with homemade calls. I’ve made wing bones and striker calls with turtle shells and corn cob strikers. One of my favorites is a turtle shell call I made with a copper striker plate that has a really raspy sound. Have you tried these calls with multiple pieces of latex and trimmed notches to alter the sound?
Sounds like a goose call to me😮
Just curious are you a railroader? I worked for CSX for 20 years and just retired.
