mouth calls

[tanman]

just went and picked up a three pack of mouth calls i kinda can make clucks with it but my problem is i dont know if i have it im my mouth right. dont know if i have it in backwards or not and all that sort of stuff

The rounded end obviously goes in first. Put it up against the roof of your mouth as far back as is comfortable. On a multi reed call, the side with the different length reeds goes down, against the tongue. I bend mine a little bit to fit my mouth better.

To make a yelp, say "kee yow". That seems to be about the correct movement of tongue/mouth/throat to make a yelp.

PLEASE NOTE: Practice in the car where no one can hear you. You may be thrown out of the house for makeing that "godawfullnoise!"

No worries, put er so the two ends of the 'horseshoe' are facing out your mouth. To figure out if its 'upside down' or not, you want the longest reed on top - that one will have a cut or notch or V in it.

As in trying to kill a stinky bird with a brain the size of a marble?

I hear ya, I used to have the fever BAD. Still have it and hope I always do - the fever used to be to kill one and now its just to get out. I must be getting old!

But DO NOT practice while driving down the road. If that call gets lodged in the back of your mouth while cruising at highway speeds, you're looking for trouble.

You can practice in your car, but make sure it's in your driveway.
