Got my first mouth call today, it is a primos sonic dome triple reed with bat cut. I've been practicing a bit even though I don't think my wife likes it lol. I'm making progress and am determined to get good enough by turkey season to actually use this thing in the turkey woods.

I have some of primos mouth calls as well. Yesterday I bought my first box call as it was 30percent off at MC Sports since they are closing. It was a primos as well. I love it. Sounds a lot better than me and my mouth calls. But I'm not pro. Box call is very loud. Probably good for windy days. Good luck.

Check out Shane Simpson and Scott Ellis on YouTube. Those guy give good instruction on mouthcalls. Especially Scott and his "Mouthcall Magic" DVD series.

Good luck with that mouth call.
Just like with fishing, I'm always holding my mouth wrong. Therefore, I use my trusty Kaiser Kall; it's deadly. My wife uses it sometimes to draw me in. I try to run, but a deep hypnotic state takes over.
Wes, get a Kaiser Kall and hide it well.

You started with a challenge by your first mouth call being a triple reed. You get to using that one good and you shouldn't have much trouble with any others.

I got a 3 pack of calls and the 3 reed sonic dome is a little easier for me than the 2 flat calls. It has a dome on it that helps you place it in your mouth correctly. I can cluck and cut somewhat just need to practice to get consistent. The yelp is what's giving me trouble. |

I use a slate pot call for all "long distance" calling. In close the mouth call with clucks gets it done. Clucks are easy with a mouth call..

Day 3 and I'm making good strides as far as I can tell. I'm thinking come turkey time I will be good enough to try to mouth call in the field. Definitely not as good as the pro's but serviceable.

I gave up long ago, well a few days after getting mine. I know when I'm whipped. I can't roll my "Rs" either. I was in Puerto Rico for 6 months and still couldn't roll my Rs, but they spoke pretty good hillbilly when I left.

I went out to my hunting grounds today and tried the mouth call. I got a few gobbles back so that was pretty exciting for me.

Be careful They get call shy pretty quick go find some tame birds to mess with don't matter with them Good info I will save my calling for actual hunting now. I think I'm good enough for it to be somewhat effective so I'll keep my practicing at home from now on. |

Mine haven't been around in the past two weeks. It's not looking good for a bird this year.

I'm making progress and am determined to get good enough by turkey season to actually use this thing in the turkey woods. "is a primos sonic dome triple reed with bat cut" sonic dome triple reed bat cut,eh? ROTFL, sounds like it worked as designed already. Make you a turkey calling CD or cassette tape so you can practice driving to work and back or other times when you are alone and can concentrate with out all the whining and complaining from everyone else in the background. www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/wild_turkey/soundswww.soundboard.com/sb/Turkey_soundsThose are just the first two turned up on a Google search. Make your tape naming each call. Put yelps first, cuts, and purr. Put about a dozen calls of each on IN a row naming it each time with plenty of room between calls to mock it back over and over and over. Get the first one down first, 2nd - 2nd,... play it and mock it back over and over and over until you got it. That's it, UNTIL YOU START HEARING REAL TURKEYS IN THE WILD. Then you mock them. You are out hunting mushrooms, you hear a hen. Mock her back word for word, over and over like a little brother driving his sister insane. Don't do it where you hunt. Do it while you watch hunting vids, mock every thing you hear until you can imitate and confuse on command. Master one call, then you are ready for the next one. Don't do it where I hunt either. #1 most important thing to remember, especially starting out and getting discouraged, ALL TURKEYS SOUND A LITTLE DIFFERENT JUST LIKE ALL PEOPLE SOUND DIFFERENT. Turkeys have accents and dry throat problems and every thing else just like any other animal that makes a sound. #2 timing is every thing. The cadence and timing of the call is more important than about every thing else. If you told your wife "here's the car keys" when she said "let's hop in the sack, the kids won't be home for an hour" then things are going to get pretty funky and not in a good way. It wouldn't matter if you used your deep voice, squealed, or half choked it out. |
