HS Strut Raspy Old Hen Turkey Call - Glass/Carbon Friction Call for Realistic Turkey Hen Sounds

The HS Strut Raspy Old Hen Turkey Call is a glass and carbon friction call designed to replicate the vocalizations of an older hen turkey. If you're serious about spring gobbler hunting or looking to add authentic hen sounds to your setup, this friction call delivers the raspy, worn-tone calls that mature hens produce naturally. Friction calls work by drawing a wooden striker across a sounding surface—in this case, a combination of glass and carbon—to generate realistic turkey vocalizations that can draw gobblers in close.

This style of call excels at producing the kind of hen sounds that don't sound artificially perfect; the raspy character mimics the real, slightly rough quality of older birds. Many hunters prefer friction calls for their versatility and the level of control they offer over tone and volume. Whether you're running sequences of soft calls to work a bird in or cutting to get his attention, the glass and carbon combination on this HS Strut model gives you the tonal range you need in the field.

HS Strut has built a reputation for making calls that sound true to life, and this friction call fits that pattern. It's a straightforward tool—no batteries, no electronics—just proven mechanics that have worked for turkey hunters for decades. If you're building out a turkey calling kit or want a dedicated friction call for hen sounds, this is a solid choice that won't let you down when a gobbler is in earshot.
