    Best tutorial for beginners. Finally got it!! Thanks man 👍
  • 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.

    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?
  • 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
  • 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 ?

    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
