This is a book about a unique American art form, the game call. Calls are most familiar to duck, goose, and turkey hunters; however, many other types of calls exist and one has been made for nearly every type of sporting hunt as well as for the hunting of most prey animals. A few other books have been written on calls and the books by Harlan are superb. I authored Collecting Antique Bird Decoys and Duck Calls, 3rd Edition, and it has extensive coverage (two chapters) of all types of calls. Yet very little else has been written on this subject and few know the value of a good call. I am not a call maker but I have used calls for duck, squirrel, and turkey hunting.
