Brad Harris - The Screamer: Turkey Locator Cassette
* the pic of the wild turkey is not the cover of this recording
I think I'm overdue for a new post in this blog. The Thanksgiving holiday here in the U.S. of A. is right around the corner. That means that people all over America are hitting the stores to gather a bunch of food for the upcoming traditional Thanksgiving feasts put on by families everywhere. The main staple of the traditional Thanksgiving meal is the turkey. Usually, turkeys are bought from either the meat department of the grocery store or the frozen food section. Just pick up a turkey usually wrapped in plastic, put it in the cart, then check out and pay for it. Take it home and put in the freezer and wait until the big day arrives then bake it for the consumption of relatives that you may or may not be embarrassed that they share the same gene pool with you.
What's so fun about just picking up a turkey from the store? Would it be more exciting to go out in the wild and track and chase down your own turkey? No doubt it involves much more physical activity than shopping at the grocery store, but I'm sure going outdoors in the woods and looking for wild turkeys would provide a nice bit of exercise. Hunting for wild turkeys also involves some skills such as knowing how to track live animals and using a gun or some other weapon to take out the turkey.
Thankfully there is a tool that would aid in finding the main course of your next Thanksgiving meal. This device is called The Screamer. On a cassette tape (found at Goodwill), some dude named Brad Harris explains the merits of The Screamer and how to use this thing. Brad tells about four different calls that would cause the turkey to gobble and give its location. Basically these calls are imitations of bird calls. As Brad explains, you have to have technique and apply the right amount of breath to nail these calls.
I would like to wish my visitors a happy Thanksgiving, even including those visitors who don't celebrate this holiday. May all of your food including those store-bought turkeys turn out delicious and that you don't end up with too many leftovers.
