On a recent episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, three young turkey callers showcased their impressive talent that left the audience in awe. Dakota K Clouser, Kirsten Hayes, and Corey, who are known as America’s best young turkey callers, took the stage with their unique skills.
Corey, a 12-year-old from Smithfield, Pennsylvania, explained the concept of the Kiki run, which involves mimicking the sounds of a lost turkey in the woods. With a diaphragm tool in his mouth, Corey flawlessly executed the Kiki run, impressing everyone with his authentic turkey calls.
Next up was 11-year-old Kirsten from Pennsylvania, who demonstrated the cutting of an excited hen. Although the term might sound alarming, it actually refers to imitating the sounds of fighting or excited hens. Kirsten made it clear that no actual hens were harmed in the process and proceeded to showcase her impressive chicken call as well.
The final contestant, 13-year-old Dakota, has quite the winning streak. As a three-time first-place winner, Dakota’s skills in clucking and purring like a turkey were unrivaled. His expertise in turkey calling is a true testament to the countless hours of practice he has dedicated to his craft.
These talented youngsters not only wowed the audience but also received a special gift for their incredible performances. Each of them was gifted a Sony PSP handheld game player as a token of appreciation for their hard work and exceptional skills.
Although turkey calling might not be the most conventional talent, it is undeniable that these young performers brought a fresh and unexpected flair to The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Their passion for their craft and dedication to honing their skills at such a young age is truly impressive.
As always, The Ellen DeGeneres Show continues to be a platform that showcases unique and outstanding talents, leaving viewers entertained and inspired.
