- Most people don't think of these 3 reasons they aren't producing realistic yelps on a turkey mouth call. When you don't start with the proper mechanics you will never be able to produce a real sounding yelp. If the reeds on your mouth call are stuck together, the call won't sound right, and if you don't know your channel of air, you are going to always be fighting the call. Learn what you need to do to fix all of these issues and produce realistic yelps on a turkey mouth call.

Good video! Enjoyed
Glad to hear it! Thanks for the comment!
Years ago I saw Aaron warbritton ( back when he was on cabelas spring thunder) clean his mouth calls with mouthwash, and separate the reeds with little pieces of toothpicks. That’s what I’ve been doing ever since. And store in the fridge.
That’s the best way to do it. I just found the freezer works better to keep the reeds from sticking
just ordered the single reed from the link. thanks! I'm struggling with this amazon pack I bought they def all have weird cuts in the reed
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

Could you explain the "channel of air"point? I appreciate the video and will have a better understanding when it comes to mouth calls!
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.

👍
thanks for watching!
What is a channel of air?
Where your air naturally wants to travel through your mouth. Typically left, center or right of your mouth.
@@WeekendWoodsmen Thank you!
Does anyone else have a problem with just not being able to have a mouth call in your mouth? Those dang things make me gag like crazy! I’ve tried trimming them and soaking them in mouthwash and everything else.
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
Or just pull the reeds apart lol
sometimes true, when they have sat for a long time and are truly stuck you won’t pull them apart without ripping them
Why does your Yelp sound nothing like, let’s say Scott Ellis, Dave Owens, Aaron warbritton? Like completely different, I know they are pros..but not even similar
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).
