Ray Ward has been calling turkeys for two decades. Hes even created his own turkey callers, and by his account, they work.
I love to hunt, the callers that I make were originally done by Indians, said Ward. While Ward offered no name for his turkey caller, he said turkey callers, such as the Box Caller, Wing Bone Caller, and the Slate Caller, pre-date his creations.
