RE: Mouth Calling
Simp,
Thanks for the tips... Starting to get some sound out of it now, the correct way too. It just seems like my saliva is un controllable when i blow out. I thought i made a damn good turkey sounds on the sucking in part.
thanks

RE: Mouth Calling
Yep, the spit flows when you try the mouth call for the first time! It's natural, and it's happened to all of us. It's just your mouth telling you that there's something in there that shouldn't be. Once you get use to it the spit will slow to a trickle. Try keeping it in your mouth while you're at home so you'll get use to it faster. Or try popping it in your mouth and making a couple of calls and then taking it out before the spit starts. But keep doing this over and over. I still get some spit in my mouth when I put the call in but it's definitely not as bad as when I started out. It'll get better, just keep at it.

For the yelps, trying saying "chirp" or"chop". It takes a long time to become really good on the mouth calls, so be patient with it. You can google "wild turkey sounds" and it will give you a link to the NWTF web site. There it will take you to the different sounds that turkeys make and you can try to immulate them. It sure make things alot easier and will keep you motivated.

Superstrutter, thanks for that, but I want to learn the mouth call. A box or push will not help me with that.
HAHA about the goose calling... Been working on a few new duck calls lately and they really enjoy that...[:@] They are sure to kick me out soonly! Both of them city boys too!

I'm proud to say I placed 4th in the state duck this past year... and had the cops called on me twice... old people...
Back to turkeys....I learned to call turkeys on a mouth call. For the first 8 springs I had nothing but a mouth call or two (I was a kid, money was lean). Its still my best call.... my buddies tend to envy it... I guess there is just something about being able to use one that everyone wants to for some reason. I understand. Just like tying your own flies, fletching your own arrows or sharpening your own knives.
Just keep messing with it.... you'll get it. I can't tell you how to use it over the internet... all I can tell you is you'll get it sooner or later.

RE: Mouth Calling
One thing about the call possibly being in backwards is to make sure latex is pointing out away from your body AND if you mouth call has multiple reeds that the shortest reed is pointing downward towards your tongue. The key to mouth calls is to get a good seal and practice a lot. I only use primos mouth calls. I have tried several others and they don't fit in my mouth as well as the Primos and I end up gagging with any other brand...why...I don't know. Just practice a lot, and you will drive people around you crazy (just ask my wife). I do a lot of my practicing in my truck when I am driving to and from work or anytime I am in the car by myself.
