Default RE: Need New Coyote Calls That Won't Freeze Up

I suppose, that between the time you actually were blowing on the call, and when the call was dangling on the lanyard, some spit could have froze under the reed. In that case, keeping the call/reed in your mouth during the complete set would be a possible cure. It would take very little ice formation under the reed to keep it from working correctly, so by keeping the call in your mouth, the ice wouldn't have a chance to form.
Another possible solution would be to turn the call around backwards and blow through it hard. Might melt the ice or clear any debris that may be caught under the reed.
Good luck, calling should be real good with temps. that low!
