Glad to hear it! Thanks for the comment!

That’s the best way to do it. I just found the freezer works better to keep the reeds from sticking

Great! When you get it let us know how it goes. We are happy to help. Also check out this Yelping Made Easy video we just released: Learn How to Yelp in 3 Steps | Turkey Mouth Call 101 ukposts.info/have/v-deo/i5SFmnh9rI2DqmQ.html

Basically every mouth call has a “cut” has the latex cut on the right, center or left. The air needs to flow through the part that is cut out in order to produce the clean top end. Each persons natural flow of air through their mouth will be either right, center, or left. So you can make it easier on yourself if you have a call that lines up with that. Once you get the hang of it you can learn to manipulate the air where you need it, but that’s more advanced. That’s why we always recommend the single reed no cut Greenhorn first. I go into it a bit more in this video: Learn How to Yelp in 3 Steps | Turkey Mouth Call 101 ukposts.info/have/v-deo/i5SFmnh9rI2DqmQ.html

thanks for watching!

Where your air naturally wants to travel through your mouth. Typically left, center or right of your mouth.

@@WeekendWoodsmen Thank you!

Sometimes people do many times it’s because you are putting it too far back. It should be right behind your teeth. Have you ever tried small frame calls?

@@WeekendWoodsmen no, I don’t think so, It’s worth a shot! Thanks

@Chris24 I love Hooks custom calls. They have WAY smaller tape than most calls. Takes away the gag reflex. I won’t ever use another call

​@@chasetreece3668good tip

sometimes true, when they have sat for a long time and are truly stuck you won’t pull them apart without ripping them

At a high level them being pros is the main thing and the industry focuses on getting pro callers to run their calls so they sound fantastic which gets people to buy their calls and then they get them and you can’t make your call sound anything like what they make them sound like. My guess is that your yelp sounds nothing like theirs also and that’s why you were watching this video. You got caught in the industry “trap”. Those calls are typically 3 reeds, tight stretches and require exceptional diaphragm control and perfect mouth call mechanics in order to run. Sometimes these pros even use calls that LOOK like the calls the companies are selling and they aren’t even the same. Each pro has calls that they custom build for on stage. NONE of them are using on stage the same call that say Woodhaven is selling on the shelf. They just want you to think they are. The result is you getting frustrated and you don’t really understand why you can’t make them sound that way. The intent of this video is to help people take a step back and build the proper mechanics that will allow them to build a foundation they can build on. 99% of us will never sound like Scott Ellis, and even within the pros none of them sound exactly the same. There is a big difference between sounding like a pro and sounding good enough to kill a turkey, and our goal is to help people get good enough to kill a turkey. At a lower level it comes down to a million different variables. The biggest one is diaphragm control and mechanics which I continue to try to improve on. I bet if you watched this video (link below) which I just recorded last week, the yelp from the Havok (which I used in this video last year) sounds WAY different and better. Why? Because I took a step back, focused on the mechanics as suggested in this video with a single and double reed no cut, and then worked my way up to learning how to control the call better and especially the rasp better. Hope that helps! I also go into it in more detail in our Yelping Made Easy video (just search for it). ukposts.info/have/v-deo/fWV_rJeprJVjl30.html
