Abstract: A method and apparatus for calling wild turkeys using a strip of flexible cloth which is longer than wide and having a first end and a second end, a reinforcement structure at each end of the cloth for holding the ends straight, and a flap attached to each of the side edges of the cloth. The method includes the steps of grasping one end of the cloth with one hand, grasping the other end of the cloth with the other hand, moving the hands towards each other while holding the ends whereby the cloth is allowed to become loose, and rapidly jerking the hands apart while still holding the cloth to stretch the cloth tight, thereby simulating the sound of a wild turkey flapping its wings.
