"Seasons Early Sign" is of the first batch of calls ever made by Edward Oehlman. The call is handmade with a Sassafras sound board, on a Hard Maple box, with a simple Black Walnut inlay. Wood burned all by hand the call is adorned with a Flowering Dogwood branch in full bloom on one side, and a Morel Mushroom on the other. The scratch block is decorated with a small turkey body feather. As Dogwoods begin to bloom and Morels first emerge, God's creation reminds the hunter "Turkey Season is back again!"

Other Information

More information about Edward Oehlman

With a personal passion for Forestry, Natural Resources, and Conservation, while being an avid outdoorsman. I found myself trying my hand at Custom Turkey Call making for the sake of supporting the NWTF mission utilizing craftsman skills the Lord blessed me with. I completed my very first call in the winter of ‘24-‘25, which now resides in my wife’s office. With some great support from a couple veteran call makers I was able to create a couple calls I felt comfortable entering at the 2025 Grand National Call Making Competition. Each call I make is made entirely by hand, and wood burned (“Decorated”) entirely by hand. I make each call individual and unique with an effort to tell a story or depict a small aspect of His great creation, and/or conservation.
