Love your tutorials. Sure wish you were my neighbor you would never get rid of me! The mouth calls remind me of guitar lessons, very difficult to reach your skill level. Just purchased a mouth call and it’s been daunting to say the least. Your videos are very informative. And show your mouth movements are so very helpful. Watching all your videos. Thank you from a beginner.
As a guitar player myself, yes it is quite similar. I often say too that while not so much as required, having a little bit of rhythm in your bones absolutely helps in calling turkeys.
No problem practicing and doing it that way I guess. Just know that when a gobblers inbound you’ll need both hands on your shotgun. Good luck this spring
Excellent presentation. Organized and concise not repetitive and verbose like some instructional call videos. I hope to learn that whine this year. I find it very helpful being able to observe the presenter's lips and jaw when demonstrating a specific call, particularly the lips. Do you keep the call in the same comfortable position in soft palate, hard palate area for every call and just vary tongue pressure and at times even stopping the air flow over the reeds completely and abruptly such as when "cutting"?
Daniel- thanks for the kind comments and I am glad that this video was helpful for you. That’s is the soul intention is just to get some folks started. With regard to location, I pretty much have the call fairly static in there. It can alternate slightly. But you almost need to have it become one with your mouth, no different then our own vocal chords. So while they are fixed in a position they are somewhat still fluid to move as we need them to when changing sounds. Let me think on this one a bit and how I can illustrate this best to you guys.
Thanks for the tips. Playing around with my call for years I've found that they are many different ways i could use my tongue on the call. Is it a matter of comfort and just basically how the call can be manipulated?
Yes, the tongue has an important role in making the sounds that you are striving for. The more you use a call the better you will become at mimicking all of them. Good luck and keep working at it!
Great series! I'm a noob to the thunder chicken stalkers club, long time outdoorsman and deer hunter. I got a cheap HS "Raspy Old Hen" 2 reed call to start off easy. Basic yelp, cut, and cluck aren't too hard on it(definitely not ready to audition for 1st chair though lol). When I try to purr, it almost seems like the call is activated too easily, so what comes out is definitely not a purr. I've never been able to "roll my tongue"(see my middle school Spanish grades for proof lol), so I'm mainly trying with my throat and lips. Are there certain calls that are better for certain sounds(yelp, cut, cluck, purr, ect...) or can you pretty much make any sound on any call with proper technique and practice?
It’s prob just gonna take practice. Strive to purr as quietly as possibly and that will teach you to control that tone. After that you are on your way. If you can purr without having a crazy tickle in the roof of your mouth then you off to a great start. As far a cut goes, I would stick to that raspy hen and just learn to tone it down then do your experimenting with other calls. Try to build up some slight air pressure inside a closed mouth and then purr and slowly release that pressure as you purr. Once you do it it will begin to come quite naturally
@@callemorcrawlem I'll keep at it, and I'll tell the wife that you said that it's ok to practice as much as I need to😎. I appreciate the tips. It's definitely just like playing an instrument, even the box and pot calls.
Great video, super helpful!
Glad it was helpful! good luck this spring

Think of it in a sense like you’re blowing a small bubble with a piece of chewing gum
