RE: Mouth Calling
Have had birds respond to my yelping(natural voice) in the fall... Never tryed it in the spring...
For Owling I use strickly my natural voice...
I'm sure I could yelp one in with my voice if I tryed

ya, jnturk. i have noticed my partner can do mouth calls (without diaphram), he has a much deeper voice than i do but he has a completely different technique than i use, and his yelp and purr sounds so much different than me.
i can recall one highlight that mouth onlycalling worked very well for me. last year i was taking afriend out for his first bird and i had saw a tom strutting in the rain on one side of the hill so we hastened our approach around the hill to where he was going. in the process i had alarmed some jakes down by the river. i immediatly started "putting"back atthem, then i moved to purring and clucking aggressively all using only my mouth. the jakes quickly turned around and flew across a flooded river, ran up the hill and around the front from a 1/4 mile away as fast as they couldand then proceeded to beat each other for dominanceat 10 yards for a minute before my friend shot one. after that day i was completely sold that it works very well.

note: that tom never would respond to my calling at all. i tried box, slate, and diaphram.....he wanted the real thing i guess

that is cool jnturk, it makes it a real challenge and accomplishment. i would like to see the video that you made, if i get a wild hair, i may go film one this year.

any little home camera will work fine, but DO get it on a tri-pod to film the hunt.
