I have been turkey hunting for a couple of years now. I have gotten a good feel for box calls and I am working on my slate, but I can not get anything out of a mouth call. I have tried several types and reeds. All I can ever get is a high pitched squeel like blowing against a blade of grass. I have watched a couple of videos with no help. Anybody got any ideas on how to start?

xizang, I would go to a Turkey workshop or expo and buy a mouth call from one of the makers while you are there. They will work with you on the spot to help you get up and going and perhaps point out what you are doing wrong.

Anybody got any ideas on how to start? I am far from an expert as I just started doing mouth calls last year but a couple of things to think about... Try using a single reed to start with as they seem easier to operate then work your way up to a double then triple if you want. Try different size frames, the roof of my mouth is narrow and the youth frames fit me real well. Last but definitely not least, practice ALOT. I will put a instructional CD in my truck and practice to & from work everyday.
