"YOU HAVE A WINNER HERE WITH YOUR ROLL CALL! WELL THIS WEEKEND WAS HOT! AS IT IS IN TEXAS AND THE WIND WAS BLOWING FIERCE. I MOVED OUT OF POP-UP (TOO WINDY) AND SET UP IN MESQUITE TREES AND CALLED WHEN WIND DIED DOWN SOME. MIXING MY VOICE WITH THE ROLL CALL (THINK ROLL CALL DID TRICK), I HAD 6 TOMS WALKING QUIETLY AT 15YDS-STOOD UP TO MOVE FURTHER IN WOODS VS. ALONG EDGE. THEY WATCHED ME AND TOOK OFF-FUNNY HOW THEY DID NOT KNOW WHICH WAY TO RUN. I SAY THE ROLL CALL WITH SOFT CLUCKS/YELPS IS GREAT (APPLY MORE PRESSURE FOR LOUDER SOUNDS) WORKS AND IS SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT SOUND THAN WHAT BIRDS ARE USED TO HEARING. SET UP FOR MORNING HUNT SUNDAY AND STARTED WITH THE ROLL CALL, THIS BIRD ALONG WITH 4 OTHERS (HE WAS CLOSEST AND BIGGEST OF GROUP) HE TRIED TO MOUNT MY BEDDING HEN AND HE MET UP WITH #5 SHOT AND DID BACK FLIP INTO TREE .NOW I MAKE SURE WHEN I GO OUT THE FIRST ITEM I CHECK FOR IS MY ROLL CALL."

- NORM W. (TEXAS)

" THERE WAS A RECENT FOREST FIRE AND I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THE AREA FULL OF BIRDS. SINCE I HAD NOT SHOT A BIRD IN TWO YEARS I DECIDED TO TAKE THIS SMALL JAKE THAT CAME IN WITH A GROUP OF THREE. IT WAS THE THIRD GROUP I CALLED IN THAT MORNING WITH MY ROLL CALL. THE ROLL CALL WORKED GREAT!"

- DEREK D. (NORTH CAROLINA)

"MY HUSBAND WAS PRACTICING HIS ROLL CALL IN THE LIVING ROOM WITH THE WINDOWS OPEN. I LOOKED OUT MY SECOND FLOOR BATHROOM WINDOW AND THREE TOMS WERE LINED UP STRUTTING AND GOBBLING! I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO COME THROUGH THE WINDOW!"

- CHERYL R.

"I SAW THREE TOMS IN A FIELD OFF IN THE DISTANCE ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I PULLED MY TRUCK OVER AND POINTED THE ROLL CALL AT THEM TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. I THOUGHT I SCARED THEM WHEN THEY RAN TO THE HEDGEROW ON THE RIGHT. BUT SUDDENLY THEY TURNED AND RAN STRAIGHT AT ME! WHEN I DROVE AWAY THEY WERE STANDING AT THE DITCH! THIS CALL REALLY WORKS!"

- MIKE S.

"IT WAS ONLY GOBBLES IN THE DISTANCE UNTIL I USED THE ROLL CALL. TWO HENS CAME STRIGHT IN WITH THIS TOM STRUTTING BEHIND! THANKS! "

- BOB J.

"WE THREW EVERY CALL AT THE BIRDS WITH NO RESPONSE. WE PULLED OUT THE ROLL CALL AND IMMEDIATELY GOT A HIT. FIVE MINUTES LATER WE HAD A LONG BEARD. WE LOVE THE WAY YOU CAN DIRECT IT. I PUT HIM RIGHT WHERE I WANTED HIM! THANKS. "

- DON B.

"USING YOUR ROLL CALL FOR THE FIRST TIME I DIRECTED A HEN TURKEY ALMOST IN THE LAP OF MY FRIEND, MIKE. SHE WOULD HAVE GONE ANYWHERE I POINTED IT. IT REALLY WORKS! "

Roll calling turkeys

Matt Stephenson, a local turkey hunter from Wilson, has hunted turkeys some 25 years. “I’ve been working on different call designs for a year and a half and came up with a friction call that directs call sounds,” Stephenson said of his newly marketed call model he named Roll Call.

The Roll Call is friction call formed with a rise or radius shape, rather than a flat surface. “It’s about half the size of round calls and you can direct sounds in any direction,” he said of his patent pending product that has drawn much attention after considerable market testing during the 2009 spring turkey season.

Stephenson continually works on turkey call variations and has established the company Out of the Box Game Calls. To find out more about this call, check with him at 939-0430 or e-mail: INFO@OUTOFTHEBOXGAMECALLS.COM

Roll Call does it again! This tom came in following a hen and gobbling through a very thick morning fog.

With the tail feathers missing, this Roll Call tom looks like he was almost dinner for someone or something!

A rainy day youth hunt did not stop Herb L. from getting Kyle C.(age 15) his first! “Your roll call brought them right in!” Herb L. is President of the Niagara County Chapter of the NWTF.

My brother, Mark, gets a nice Tom! “Hunters were everywhere, but he came straight to me!”

Using my roll call, two hens came in with this Tom following!

Mark does it again! Early morning Tom sneaks in for a closer look.

Early morning distant gobble produces this Tom for Dick L!

Bob J. produces a great Tom using the Roll Call.
