Welcome to Lighting Strike Calls |

Ralph is a serious turkey hunter/callmaker who understands the necessity of a quality call. Lighting Strike Calls are built for hunters with their needs and quality in mind. Ralph appears in Earl Mickel's sequel to "Turkey Call Makers Past and Present ~ The Rest of The Best" page 205. "In 1993, while hunting at Mickel's, Neil Cost gave me his personal call which is masterful at taking turkeys. I studied that killing machine an decided I, too, would like to make calls for myself and my friends." (Mickel, The Rest of The Best, 1999.) Ralph's calls are made from several different woods with; Butternut, Sassafras, Cherry, and Cedar being the favored materials. Though the pitch changes from wood to wood, hens a crossed the spectrum are achieved and all have a lively, yelp. They all yelp, cut, cackle and create most all hen sounds and many get a really nice kee-kee. As well as being collectable, these calls are tools for the spring woods and can duplicate a hen immediately and exactly in the hands of a hunter who knows what a turkey sounds like. My advice is that you should take the call hunting so you can put the meat in the freezer before you put it in the showcase. Ralph's Calls will fool a longbeard! |
