Turkey hunting can be tough when a stiff springtime wind is blowing, but hunters can carry a trick up their camouflaged sleeves with the proper use of a custom-made, Neil Cost-inspired long-box turkey call, works of woodsy art made by modern-day craftsman like Lamar Williams

At the end of the day, there is no guarantee a long-box call will seal the deal on a gobbler, even if it was made by Neil Cost or his protégé, Lamar Williams.
But when used properly by a hunter in the field, there is often a magical tone in such calls that can cause even the wariest and wisest of gobblers to sound off and betray his position.
And that's the woodsy music that once made the legendary Cost grin and still makes Williams smile big to this very day.
