Turkey hunters in Alabama are very proud of their ability to call turkey. It is a macho thing and a very important issue in Alabama.Â
Without a doubt, the best turkey caller I ever heard was a guy from Alabama named Ben Rodgers Lee.
He began making turkey calls in the 1960’s and soon thereafter, was one of the first to do instructional tapes on how to call turkey.
His instructional tapes are a classic and apparently no longer available, so if you are lucky enough to have one of his tapes, don’t loan it out like I made the mistake of doing. They definitely have value.
Ben’s instructional tapes were not intended to be humorous but they are in fact a riot; it boils down to Ben’s simplistic and unique way of expressing himself.Â
