Folks, if you're looking for an open reed call that is easy to use, I've found one. Right out of the package, I was able to make small animal distress and ki-yi's. I'm just starting with open reed calls and out of the six I've tried so far, the Yellerdog is the easiest to use. Being a rank amateur, ease of use is important to me, but sound quality and volume is important too. This call has it all!

Here's a quote from GameCalls.Net: (LINK)

" Yellerdog Predator Distress Call

This freeze-proof predator distress call works great for calling coyote, fox, bobcat, bear and many other predators in. Adjustable so you can imitate the dying sounds of many predator food sources. Comes with a replacement o-ring, cork and reed. Yellerdog customized predator calls have been through 2 years of testing and development to insure relentless performance and quality.

It is a well made and rugged. The experienced callers highly recommend and use this call too.
