Abstract: A turkey call apparatus includes a first portion with a slate pad mounted on a backing panel, which is mounted on an index finger using an elastic band. A second, U-shaped portion has a base integral with spaced apart legs, the terminal edges of which support felt strips. A striker is engaged with the base and positioned between the legs for contact between a free end of the striker and the slate pad when it is moved across the felt strips in a back-and-forth motion. A second elastic band is adapted for engaging a thumb so that the apparatus may be used with only one hand.
