Description
This Ashby Large Slate Turkey Call, Model 002, is a rare find from the 1980s, still in its original packaging and never used. Donated by Joe and Kathy Richardson from The Admiral's Historical Collection, this turkey call is a valuable piece for both collectors and hunters alike.
The Ashby Large Slate Call is designed for making a wide range of turkey sounds, from purrs to loud mating calls, offering exceptional versatility in the field. The call comes with two pegs: one made of Missouri walnut with cedar, and the other made of corncob with a birch peg. Each peg produces distinct sounds:
- The walnut peg creates louder calls, perfect for mating or lost calls.
- The corncob peg is ideal for soft purrs when birds are close or hung up.
The slate surface requires occasional light sanding to maintain performance, ensuring it delivers clear and realistic turkey sounds. With the right angle, pressure, and practice, hunters can master a variety of calls to attract even the most cautious birds.
