Now take one of the larger shells, rough the interior up with coarse grit sandpaper, burn the tip of a broken cedar arrow shaft, and use it like a striker on a slate turkey call. Those freshwater mussels make pretty good slates for Ol' Tom Gobbler.

No kiddin wow i am going to try that
JW_Halverson:
I was going to start a post this spring about time the turkeys were heating up..."Show your homemade turkey calls". I have 6 homemade calls and try to avoid going back to the store-boughts. Simpler the better!
Plus, if I forget a Chesapeake Bay bluepoint oyster shell on top of a ridge in the Black Hills I can have a great laugh on whoever finds it and scratches their head bald figuring how it got there!

I am not able to fire the pottery I made some weeks ago due to the drought. I did go to the clay deposit and make a nice haul.
iowabow:
I was able to carry 75# out

#75 Dang strong man. Looks l;ike good clay too. We found some in our creek the other day due to the drought. We found it because the water was so low. It's kinda grey and stinks a little. My boys have been messing w/ it, maybe we need to collect some and bring it home. Good luck, dp
