MOUTH CALLS 202 Master These Sounds! Turkey Calling

[@bryancoulter1032]

Michael I've been hearing and watching you you call scene you were a young man .And you're one of my favorite callers I've ever heard kept it up Brother

[@briankelley617]

Great calling skills! Turkey hunting here in Mass. I am using FoxPro Wicked Spurs -Orange, Black and Grey. One thing that is hard to get from these videos or rock-star instructors is specific mouthing, tongue-ing techniques to get the sound of these guys. I just figured out something now. I am a musician, guitarist, singer, and I earned a Bachelor of Music from Umass Lowell on guitar back in the late 1980s. You need a lot of tongue pressure up from the bottom against the pair of reeds to get the initial high pitch start of the sound envelope. And then back off with opening your mouth like Bone Collector here does to get the descending lower, raspy part of the envelope. Your mandible (lower jaw) is going to go up and down like you're a puppet. You can play with having the tip of your tongue more forward towards your lips when you're applying pressure or further back. Then move air through that pressure. The other thing is, bend the frame so the plane of the pair of reeds fit up in the center of the roof of your mouth- the fossa or basin up there if you will. Bend it back if you need. It's tiring on jaw muscles if you do it right, and you'll probably acquire TMJ disorder. Of course, it could be my FoxPro Wicked Spur mouth calls are shit! Oh well, work with what you have now.

So excited to try for my first Turkey this fall in south central Alabama. Thank you for sharing your experience and love for hunting.

[@AS34N]

How'd it go man?

[@DanKlein_1]

great example of a call that you didn't like or didn't work for you. You could definitely hear the difference. We start the flop here in Pa next month. Can't wait.

[@fifth_rowoutdoors2826]

I have been using mouth calls for years and still learning. Never been able to get the purr sound. Gone through dozens of calls. Like you said, keep practicing and find what works best for you. God bless and good luck to you and the team this season

[@melvinsacromentoe]

Same here. After 5 years of mouth calling I’m just now feeling like I can get a pure that’s usable. I feel like I progress every year

[@dennisrodgers6245]

Dang I can get a rasp only 2 days into my first time ever touching a mouth call and I basically perfected it

[@vinshanestrickland4179]

If there is anyone other then all the guys mentioned. To listen to on turkey calling its this turkey! I couldn't get my Osceola bird when I was younger took me 3 seasons to finally get it right there a different breed for sure .it was Micheal"s advice and comments that I heard at a convention that helped me get my grand slam

[@FeLoNyCrImE]

i started turkey hunting a few years ago. of course tried the cheap mouth calls first and was never able to do it just right. I decided to get some Bone Collector mouth calls and Gods honest truth it was so easy. I love the Georgia peach call its awesome. Thank you for all you do in the hunting industry. You are the reason i use a para cord for my range finder also best idea ever!

[@martinward3791]

WOW! To hear the you name the guys I cut my teeth in turkey hunting with gives me great respect for you. Your one of this generations great in my book.Good Hunting from Ky

[@austingibson4939]

All the calls ive got stashed away in a drawer are about to be put back in use of sorts. Hopefully! I'm breaking out the micro scissors and making some reed adjustments. They will probably end up back in the drawer or trash but im giving them a shot to go in the vest!

[@paulgriffith3549]

I went to a Ben Lee seminar in the early 80's, in Parkersburg WV. Loved it! I've also watched you since you were a young buck. Love ya, Michael.

[@jeffmwoods]

great video thankyou. I particularly like the image of all the calls all arranged on the 'well used ' back of the truck.

[@bryonrobinson3566]

Love your guys videos I’ve watched you since you were with realtree all those years ago

[@tonybacon6277]

Michael you’re my favorite turkey hunter. I’ve learned a lot from your videos.

[@stevensapp8521]

Thanks micheal

[@lakebottomkennels3912]

Michael keep up the hard work and one day you might be as good as Philip Culpeper 😉

[@brentcrawford8689]

My dogs would like a video of just you calling for several minutes. They enjoy it and I enjoy watching them look around for the gobbler!

[@melvinsacromentoe]

This is great advice. When I started I could never get anything to sound decent until I found the right cut. I still buy and test a couple calls every year and find cuts that just do not sound good for me

[@911life5]

Watching this to learn to use my mouth call as a cover sound during deer season when I’m walking in and out of the woods

[@matthewmurray4159]

I've got the peach and I'm learning it but it's hard to be softer. I can't cut and purr great with it tho and brought 3 right in 20 yards yesterday morning fir my first ever turkey

[@larrygolden167]

I have been using the showoff this year with some good results.

I really like the HS strut power V personally. I just sound good on that one and it's cheap

[@jason6325]

. Man I'm one of them oldschool guys that don't like changes. That being said. I've used 1 mouth call for over 20 yrs.i won't name the call but it does not have the rasp. I've killed allot of birds with it. But had allot of birds hang up on it as well. So. I have been watching your videos on calling/turkey hunting non stop and i have to say. That ridge beater and georgia peach have a sound I've been looking for. For many years. But was scared to stay dumping money into trying every call. So.i ordered the peach and beater. And i have to say. Oh my god!!!! That ridge beater is a bad ass call brother. I'm in shock and over excited because after 25 yrs I've made the change!!! And struck gold on the first one. You don't know how much you helped.

Mouth calls r finishing call ,, Now let's go Hunt,. Prayers to All 🙏🦊

Awesome tutorial video !!! Perfect !!!!

[@markb.1259]

Thank you Michael!!!

[@kentemple6498]

Awesome video once again! I’ve been mouth calling for nearly 20 years and I don’t think I sound as good as Michael does. Keep practicing y’all. And like he said, keep a call with you while driving, at work, at home, everywhere you go, and practice, practice, practice. Good luck

[@timg7627]

Good info. Well done sir

[@tylerwombold3478]

6 more days! So excited. Hope everyone has had some luck!

[@battlefor1billiondollars]

Lol when I first started I was gagging, salivating and spitting everywhere!!! 😂 LoL

[@frankspataro9714]

Waddy you need a small frame line of calls wood havens got the best small frame line out there in my opinion but they don't really have any competition

[@coreysumner3672]

Tom teasers make some nice small frame

[@wilmerdecontie5174]

Everything Michael is saying is true.But I can attest to the fact that you can call a Tom in with just the high note of the turkey yelp.I've called in many toms and jakes without the raspiness in the yelp.But its true the yelp is more realistic with the raspiness included.

Thank you for making these videos for us Mr Waddle. I am a fellow Ga boy and every bit of knowledge I can get to help me kill these wild ass Ga Tom’s I am thankful to learn!!! Been hunting my whole life and I’ve killed my fair share of birds but I’m learning new techniques and call sounds to use every year.

Get good with a two reed strait cut then experiment with three reed with cuts. 🦃🤞🇨🇦

[@bownut6115]

My Biggest Problem Is The Purr, On My Box Call And Slate Not A Problem. Is There One Mouthy In Particular You Would Suggest?

[@tomcummings6085]

Another great video! I’ve just started hunting turkey the last 2 years. Is there anything you do differently with your tongue when making different calls? Thanks

[@ShinKyuubi]

Okay...BIG QUESTION!! This is super important for me: I have a full upper dental prosthesis replacing my upper teeth, I still have my biological upper palate but there's a gap between where the permanent dentures are and my upper palate, for cleaning purposes, ya know, mouthwash, water floss picks, that kind of stuff. Can I actually use the mouth calls? or would that gap and the prosthesis get in the way of that? I only ask cause I know I can practice and get a response at some point cause one of my neighbors in the area raises turkeys for Thanksgiving and Christmas so they know exactly where the meat is coming from...and sometimes they get loose and wander into my yard, so I'll likely be able to hear a response when they actually have turkeys for the season.

[@reavisstockard2994]

Thanks

[@wisemechanic1758]

I ordered some bone collector calls 2 weeks ago. Still haven’t shipped and next weekend is turkey season

[@johnsuli5574]

Which mouth call would you recommend for a person who has dentures.

[@TheMichiganShow]

How does the sound change if the cut reed goes from top to the bottom?

[@WaylonHarvey-x9r]

I don’t understand so y’all might help me but I can’t use a box call but I can use a mouth call so what sense does that make I’m trying to figure it out

[@Jett_Smothers]

Does it matter which mouth call you use

[@stormsmith6772]

Id start with a box call and as soon as the turkey comes into view switch to a diaphragm call

[@tylerparker3024]

I'll never be able to use a mouth call.. tried for years. I can make sounds but they aren't turkey sounds lol

Michael, you mentioned calls as an instrument and you also mentioned Chet Atkins. Little side note for ya.. My dad was a master guitar player; he has strummed alongside Chet Atkins, filled in for a week in Doc Severinson's orchestra on the old Tonight Show, and he played once with Roy Clark. Dad also played for a season in Clint Eastwood's club out in Cali and one night Clint came in and bought the band some drinks. While sitting with Mr. Eastwood, dad (who was never a star-struck type) told Clint he didn't care much for the Dirty Harry movies but loved his westerns. Clint replied, "Well Sonny, I think you might like the film we just completed, then. It's called 'Pale Rider'. And on another visit he gifted dad with a signed copy of the new vhs! Just thought you might like this story.🤠 The Redneck Preacher😉
