Turkey Call?? Diaphram/mouth

Member Posts: 1,633 ✭✭✭✭✭
I was just at the Erie Outdoor show and bought a kit of turkey calls, it came with a slate call that had slate on one side and glass on the other. It also came with two strikers, a crow locator call and a dipahram call. I cant figure out how to use the mouth call. It's a double reed, and I know to put the shorter reed on the bottom but, How do you make turkey noises, I cant seem to make any kind of sound.

Also note that many people cant make those things work. I have known quite a few hunters who cant make a sound with diaphragm calls-I think if you practice enough you will get it.

Hope this helps.
The mouth call is hard to get used to, but they are what I've called turkeys in close with. Partly because you can have your gun up and pointed in the general direction of where the turkeys are coming from, and not be moving your hands around with a slate, or a pushbutton.
The slate is best for purring, IMHO. A Cody II slate w/ a hickory striker.
I take my mouth calls with me in the truck, 3-4 weeks before season and practice while driving down the road. Doesn't drive the wife crazy that way either. Keep the mouth calls in the fridge when you are not using them, so it said on the back of the package when I bought some, but don't let them freeze.
Good luck, and get a big gobbler!!
