The 4-Play turkey call, from Cutting Edge Game Calls, is a box call innovative enough to garner its own Utility Patent from the US Patent Office. Spotted at this year's Great American Outdoor show by American Hunter Editor Connor McKibben, the 4-Play features a forward mounted wheel which allows the lid to be positioned on either side of the box, to take full advantage of the box's four sound rails—each made from a different species of wood for a different tone. The aforementioned wheel also allows the lid to be moved forward and back, enabling it to hit each sound rail in multiple locations. 4-Play turkey calls are available with Cherry, Walnut or mahogany bodies, and all have sounds rails made of walnut, eastern red cedar, sassafras and poplar. For more information on these calls, which retail for $125, please visit 4playturkeycall.com.
Information gathered by hunters using today’s generation of game cameras can improve the odds of success on opening day, but state conservation departments are also adopting the technology to get a better glimpse of tough-to-count wildlife populations. Biologists in Michigan and Idaho are among the latest to join that growing list.
