Abstract A hunting call consisting of an elongate hollow generally cylindrical body formed of hard wood and having a dowel fixed to one end thereof and extending therethrough and exposed at the opposite end. A second hollow generally cylindrical body is also formed of hard wood and has a disc of barium ferrite embedded in one end thereof so that the exposed end of the pin can be drawn thereacross to produce the sound of a lost turkey. This sound is produced by drawing the letter C with the pin on the barium ferrite disc. To produce the sound of a squirrel relatively short squeeking strokes are made on the disc.
