Thanks for the reply , I have been turkey hunting for 45 years. Mostly use a wing bone and slate. I actually build wing bones. I have tried for years to use a mouth call. Just never really got the hang of it. I can do better with just calling with me natural voice. All my mouth calls have tabs. So tab down and I’ll keep at it.
I do use a slate and wing bone myself. Been hunting turkeys successfully for many hears, but somehow I could never be confident with mouth calls. I can’t make the right sounds yet, so I quickly put it in my pocket .
@@callemorcrawlem it’s a split v! I’ve already learned a lot more since I asked that question. But I’m still having trouble get any high tones out, no matter my pressure
Haha! Got it! Well, close 😂. But I can tell I'm gonna have it. Thanks, awesome videos. My wife and I got our call's delivered today and are sitting here watching your videos and trying our best 😅. We need to find some smaller ones, the ones we got are way too big for her, we trimmed the entire tape off and the frame is still tooth to tooth for her. Any suggestions?
Why is my yelp so high pitched? I’ve moved the call all around my mouth, have tried to use different parts of my tongue and even different pressures of breath. Still, super high pitched with little to no rasp
No sir the longest reed (top reed) does protrude out over the rest. So that is correct information that you've seen before. Guess that is a point I should have made. The reeds are stacked with the top reed furthest out and taper inward. There can be some variables on distance and such so it can be hard to see with the naked eye on certain calls based on its design. If your cut is up, and your tab is down reeds facing out then you've most likely got it correct based on the design of the average call. Hope that helps.
I think what you are referring to is what I call the whine, some call it a do-whit. If you listen closely to turkeys, or if you've had the opportunity to be around domestic birds, you'll find that rarely are they just being graveyard quite. Now a gobbler slipping in will be. But when in community hens will definitely make these little subtle sounds.
Hey Marion! Your tongue is actually used to produce the sounds as you maneuver it on and off the Reed. The call essentially sits on your tongue and you keep the call pressed to the roof of your mouth with it. As you yelp you will slightly drop your tongue
Best tutorial for beginners. Finally got it!! Thanks man 👍
Glad it was helpful!
I'm out here in the Desert
I know I can call quail with these if I learn it good. Thanks bawss
Good luck - Just keep at it!

Good Luck Buddy! Just like the wingbone, It takes some practice and you'll have it down. I want to get better with one of those myself.

Is it possible to be TOO raspy? I have the cut side up like you said in your previous video but it sounds so much raspier than yours
A lot of that is going to be driven by the call. Some calls will carry a bunch of rasp with very little air. What kind of call is it?

Some call makers offer kids frames. Check hooks custom calls
KLUK calls has youth calls that will fit her

What kind of call are you running
If other video I’ve ever watched about mouth calls says to put the longest reed up or on top. You are saying the opposite ?

What sound was that at 12/14 seconds?

Do you sell calls?
I sure do! Check out www.oldplaceoutdoors.com/
Where do I place my tongue when using the call?

It’s too hard
Gotta keep grinding at it! You’ll get it
