After getting into turkey hunting sometime around 2002, Ed Jenkins learned that he could take the bones of a turkey wing and slide them together to make a turkey call.
That led the recent Signal Mountain transplant to start a home-based custom turkey call business, Ghost Maker Custom Calls, in 2007 in his former hometown of Morris, Ill.
“I decided I really enjoyed doing it,” he said of making calls. “Turkey bones are kind of scarce, so I started making pot calls after that.”
He now sells pot-style calls made of wood and surfaces of glass, slate and bead-blasted aluminum through his website, ghostmakercalls.com.
He said the design makes his pot calls unique.
