Folks, we’re not cluckin’ around. It’s the first-ever MeatEater Turkey Calling Contest. Crew members will be facing off head-to-head to see who is the best turkey-talker of the bunch. There will be three categories of calling throughout the contest: best turkey call sequence, crow call and owl hoot, and turkey gobble—and you get to pick who wins.
The winner of the contest will get to donate $1,000 to the National Wild Turkey Federation in their name. Watch the videos and cast your vote below to select who you think should make it to the next round. Don’t delay—voting will only be open for 24 hours!
We’ll also be giving away a Work Sharp Turkey Week Exclusive Knife Sharpener and a special edition Golden Professional Precision Adjust Sharpener every day this week! To enter to win, tell us what you think of our calling in the comment section.
In the last matchup of round one, we have our two southern stars: Clay Newcomb and Brent Reaves. This is going to be a tough one! The winner you choose will go on to face Janis in the crow call/owl hoot round.
(Note: votes will not be counted in the comment section, so please use the voting box below to vote for your favorite caller. Likewise, only voting won’t enter you for a chance to win a sharpener, so make sure you leave a comment!)
