It wasn't so much that I really was planning on being serious about making calls...I just happened to run across the videos and since I was
bored , I thought why not?
It's was something to do, but once I stated playing with it and trying to improve my sound..well......I'm sure you know how that goes.
Working on a bamboo one right now, but I think it's too large to work. Has an interior diameter of 2 1/4'.
Sorry, I didn't look at the Youtube Videos and just assumed you were talking about a suction type yelper when you mentioned the bamboo and that's why I shared mine but you were talking about Tube calls...Sorry I misunderstood ya but Yeah That's a little large for a Suction Type Yelper but for a Tube Call, You should be Fine..It's a Rather large Tube Call that I shared a pic of compared to a traditional Tube Call...also for the Latex, Buy the cheapest Gloves you can find because I have found that it gives a better sound than the thinker Latex..Have Fun Buddy and it's addictive for sure... By the way...The Old 35MM Film Canisters make a neat little Tube Call also Plus you can snap the lid in place and it will hold your Latex where you position it....Some Turkey will NOT leave Home without a Their Tube call!!...Another Tip is to hold it tight to your Lip like your drinking a soda instead of a loose fit.

Tube call by Terry Madewell
Scoutfish, That's Cool that you show a interest in such Calls. All you really need is a drinking Straw to talk Turkey lol I make Wing-Bone Calls from The 3 Bones af the wild Turkey...I have also used Deer antlers but It's hard to get the Hole all the way through without messing up lol...Wing-Bone Calls can be a ace in the hole when the Turkeys have heard everything else...The Pill Bottle Call is better known as a 'TUBE' Call or 'Stuff Can'...Mr. Madewell that did the article on my calls for the NCS mag also made very Cool Tube calls and when I gave him a few of mine. he gave me 1 of his...Trick to use but still a neat call....Here's a few Wing-Bones I have made for myself along with The Tube Call that Mr. Madewell gave me.
