How to make a Deer Antler whistle!

[@blindowl-bushcraft-survival]

i always glue in the reed then grind smooth tonight i will make a whistle video i made them for years of dog training and then sold hundreds in gift shops plus it is so much better to have equipment that you make rather than buy take care great tutorial video...

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks my friend! What type of glue do you use? I found with antler whistles the plug stays put from friction. I appreciate you watching my friend!

[@joycebox5869]

That's cool. My cat's are still looking for you. Lol

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

😂😂😂 That’s hilarious! Thanks for watching and the laughs sister, I appreciate it!

As long as you aren't whistling 'Dixie' Get you into trouble in these crazy times ..hahahaha very cool my friend !

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

LOL! Thanks brother, I appreciate it!

Lots of sheds in NEW MEXICO. Sounds like rain,or somebody frying chicken.😂

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

😂😂😂 So you find elk sheds?

[@theTrueOverlord]

Excellent tutorial :)

We use these to call for assistance from the ones who passed on , if you have walked in the timberland recently and have a true heart ,... Go outside and blow it , when they hint at doing good things , do them a blessing , your life will turn good 😊

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

That’s so awesome! I haven’t been in the woods in a while, but next time I do, I’ll be doing this! Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it!

[@GunsKnivesandBeer]

Getting jiggy with it! Awesome whistle brother. Just getting caught up. Stay safe.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Lol! Thanks brother, I appreciate you watching! Stay safe!

[@galewollenberg786]

How do you deal with harmful microscopic parasites that live in the antler?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Denatured alcohol!

[@keithhardy4970]

Sorry guess I don’t understand whistles Looked to me like you plugged the hole you blow in?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

The plug has a flat spot towards the top to let the air in!

[@scottf.3808]

I drink hot coffee on hot days too....LOL...That whistle sounds good....I am going to coin you "Mr. Krafty" as you got some skills...Good stuff...

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Lol! Gotta have the coffee! Mr. Krafty!! lol I like it! Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it!

[@rgray58]

Any common reasons why I can't get the whistle sound to work? I do have an antler whistle my wife gave me that works great but no matter what I do to both follow directions and/or cut/drill exactly as what I have that works, I can't get the whistle sound.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

For me it’s always tweaking the fipple aka the plug. Either it’s length needs to be changed or the bevel that allows the air in! I hope that helps!

I still have some antlers stocked in the cellar, perhaps i could try making one. I am imagining the sound of the whistle echoing in the mountains.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

H wow that would be so awesome! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!

That's Awesome Dom, What a Neat whistle, Thanks Man,Gotta Try My hand at 1 🤜🏻🤛🏻☘️

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks brother, I appreciate it! They are pretty easy to make! Let me know how you made out!!

[@marinevet7273]

Thats the best antler whistle I have heard, are you selling them, thanks, Ron in WA.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks brother, I appreciate it! They all seem to have different sounds! And I do sell them. My email is on my about page. Send me an email and we can chat! Thanks again!

[@eldonryder6385]

I like it. Not that I think you need my approval almost two years later. LOL It kind of worried me though because I only heard it faintly on the first blow and not at all on the second! My wife came in and I asked her if she could hear it and when I played the video back both of us could hear it just fine! Turns out I had the speakers blocked the first time thru and when I moved the laptop so she could see, it uncovered the speakers! ROTFLMBO May be my mind I'm losing rather than my hearing! (And boy did I need a good laugh. Thank you)

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

😂😂😂 That’s hilarious brother! I’m happy it gave you a good laugh and thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks brother, I appreciate it!

[@blindowl-bushcraft-survival]

i just drilled by hand then made my reeds out of wild plum or pear wood i always gut the notch out the file is a great idea

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Ah yes it’s called a reed! Lol! I been calling it a plug! Lol! Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!

[@EMTRailfan]

Nice! I have a handful of antlers here that are too small to do anything with. Maybe some whistles are in their future LOL! Maybe I should start trophy hunting instead of freezer hunting so I can maybe put a nice mount on the wall or maybe not and not put anything in the freezer...

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Lol! You definitely need to make one for your daughter! I hear ya one meat hunting, they used to call me doeminic! Lol! I would always take a doe to eat! Ya can’t eat antlers! Lol! Thanks for watching brother, I appreciate it!

[@Mhatayas]

I just finish making one it is very loud but not as sharp sounding as yours, do you recommend the plug is not properly seated or sized?

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

It’s a trail and error thing. The angle of the cut and depth of the plug changes the pitch! Each one I’ve made sounds a little different. Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!

[@JohnAmes]

Thanks for the great video my friend 👍

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

You’re welcome my friend and thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@georgiaboy4410]

Great whistle 🎶. I need to try and make one of those, I’ve got plenty of antlers. Hot here too and I drink hot coffee morning and evening 😂

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Gotta have the coffee! Lol! You definitely gotta make one my friend! It’s a fun little project! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@RedHanded1969]

If we add a little ball inside, would it give a louder shrill..

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

I don’t think so, a ball inside changes the pitch as it moves around. It wouldn’t necessarily make it loader. Thanks for watching my friend, I appreciate it!

[@flying-rhino-drones-on]

i made a video around midnight showing my whistles i will try to get it online soon

[@EastGrandWoodsman]

Good morning Dominic, what a great video I have never seen a whistle made from deer antlers. I always have a whistle hanging from my neck always always always. Part of my everyday gear for out in the bush. I'm thinking I'm going to have to look through my antlers and maybe try this project out. I have a caribou antler but I've been making stuff out of four years mostly buttons for bags. I love it when I learn something from these KZbin videos great job Dominic. Tom

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks Tom! A whistle is a must in the bush! You should definitely make one! The first whistles I made were from 30-06 shells! Lol! Fun little projects! I happy you enjoyed it my friend and thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@chiefkirk]

Great job brother. That's a neat trick. I also drink Coffee year round. Hot coffee cools you off. Example: In the summertime if you take a cold shower you sweat as soon as you're done. But a hot shower makes you feel cooler. Works on the inside of your body the same way. Hot drink cools you, cold drink makes you hotter.

[@Dominic.Minischetti]

Thanks brother! It sure doesn’t feel like it cools me off when it’s 105 heat index! Lol! I appreciate you watching my friend!
