New Turkey Hunting Calls and More for 2019

First comes SHOT Show, then comes turkey season — a time of year greatly anticipated by both hunters and shooters across the nation as they get a preliminary look at new products set to hit hunting and shooting store shelves.

Before spring turkey season kicks off, all outdoor media and hunting and shooting manufactures meet up for the largest outdoor trade show in the world — SHOT is held in Las Vegas.

If turkey hunting is your bag, then you’ll want to pay close attention, as there will be an impressive number of new turkey-hunting products being unveiled. Here are several sneak peeks from renowned companies Hunters Specialties and Primos.

HS Strut Cookie Cutt’R

There is no question that learning how to adequately run a turkey call takes practice. The Cookie Cutt’R trims the learning curve and helps novice callers become experts in no time at all. The call is a convention pot produced with HS Strut’s best injection molded pot coupled with a slate striking surface. The company designed a durable quick-release removable cap that allows new and veteran hunters quick access to the right sweet spots on the call. It eliminates all the guesswork.

Features:

• Removable quick-reference cap has a slot for yelping, clucking and purring
• Easy to use and very durable, producing lifelike turkey calls
• Slots are designed to insert the striker tip and move it in the direction of the included arrows to produce consistent calls every time.
• Once the user gets the hang of the calling method, simply remove the cap for an unrestricted calling surface.

HS Strut Slingblade Box Call

Running any turkey call effectively takes plenty of practice and time in the field to become a master. Everything from positioning, rhythm and cadence can affect the tone and productivity of any call. Shortening the learning curve will make new, budding hunters more effective sooner. For Spring 2019, HS Strut is launching one of the easiest-to-use box calls ever built.

Features:

Primos Waterboard Box Call

If you need to make a gobbler talk, rain or shine, the Primos Waterboard is your call.
