Abstract: A turkey caller for producing sounds for enticing wild turkey gobblers by producing life-like turkey hen yelps, clucks and purrs. The turkey caller is of durable construction and functions properly in various climatic conditions and even if the sound producing metallic components become rusted. The turkey caller combines a metallic striker plate or sound board having a roughened upwardly facing surface formed by sanding the surface and a striker in the form of a rod-like structure having a handle at one end which includes a sound chamber. The sound board and striker produce sounds closely simulating sounds produced by live turkey hens when the other end of the rod is moved against the roughened surface of the sound board.
