The invention relates to a turkey call device for reliably producing accurately simulated calls of a wild turkey. The device includes a sound box (10) having an acoustical chamber (26). An elongated rod (34) is carried in opposing sidewalls of the box for reciprocating motion and has affixed thereto a striker block (40). A striker peg (42) depends downwardly from the striker block to make a predetermined angle with a slate striker plate (22). A biasing spring connected between a point (48) on the striker block and a point (46) on the box has a line of force parallel to the line of contact between a peg contact surface (42b) and the striker plate (22). By locating the striker peg (42) between the elongated rod (34) and the biasing spring (44), wear of the plexiglass striker plate is automatically compensated for. The striker block and striker peg are pretensioned and start from the same point as determined by a stop (52) so that uniform signals are simulated at the beginning of repetitive sound strokes of the reciprocating rod.

A device for simulating the calls of a wild turkey and the like comprising: an open top box having a sidewall enclosure and a bottom enclosure; a striker plate forming a top wall of said bottom enclosure; an acoustical chamber formed in said bottom enclosure below said striker plate; a reciprocating striker block carried within said open top box for generally parallel movement to said striker plate; a cylindrical striker peg carried by said striker block for striking and moving relative to said striker plate at a predetermined angle; reciprocating means for moving said striker block and peg in a rectilinear motion in a first direction within said box over said striker plate and predetermined call strokes to simulate a desired one of a variety of said calls: a peg contact surface formed by a flat cut on an end of said striker peg and terminating at an outer arcuate edge of said cylindrical peg creating a crescent shaped striker edge surface which engages said striker plate at such a configuration and angle to produce a call sound emanating from said acoustical chamber during striker movement in such a manner that said call sound is produced only as said striker peg is moved in one direction of said reciprocating rectilinear motion to accurately simulate said wild turkey calls; and biasing means acting on said striking block urging said striker peg against said striker plate with a generally constant predetermined biasing force.
