WEST POINT, Miss.(WCBI)–Its one of those best kept secrets that you stumble on, a West Point businessman and championship turkey caller is right in your back yard in North Mississippi.

The gifted golden throated bird caller was born with a love and understanding that includes talking the turkey language of the wild. Oh you can use the old man-made caller if you like, but Preston Pittman is the real McCoy, and Pittman tells us, he was actually hatched.

“And when I popped out of my mamma and that baby doctor grabbed me by my hind legs and he spanked me on the hiney, instead of crying I,Pittman begins gobbles.”

The turkey talker has captured 5 different divisions of World Championships and is a member of the Mississippi Outdoors Hall of Fame. Pittman is nationally known.

I’ve done Leno and I’ve done Letterman, and I’ve done Regis and Kelly, and The Comedy Channel, and Country Fried Video,” said Preston Pittman.

During turkey hunting season, the idea in the mind of the male gobbler, is to listen for and court the female hen, who has a distinct clucking sound.

Pittman considers himself your average wild life country outdoors woodsman. The businessman with Pittman Game Calls who teamed up with Longleaf Camo in West Point appears to be like the folks at Duck Dynasty……just without a lot of fame and money.

“Lot less money. Ha, ha, ha. And they are good ole boys, I know them. Ha, ha, ha,” said Preston Pittman.

Youth turkey hunting season starts Saturday, for adults its the following day.
