cant use one cuz they tickle my mouth and throat.  mike w

That sensation usually goes away in a short period of time.  I remember the first day I picked up an oboe.  Spent most of the day yakking and spitting.  A month later I was offered a full scholarship to Berkley, in large part because I was an oboe player in addition to all the other instruments.  Not that I would have EVER gone to Berkley :o   Mouth elk reeds were a very similar experience.

Luckily with some of the new exterior reeds becoming so good it is not as important to have a mouth reed as it used to be.  I carry both.

Thanks for the comments.

My advice is use the call you are the most confident in. It may be one of my calls or it may be a bugling bull or another brand. We all call different and like different diaphragms. If you have any questions let me know.

Our Dragon Slayer and Elk Commander are both great calls.

I just ordered the calls that radsav uses for my first ones to try. Had planned on starting with Phelps elk commander and dragon slayer but couldn't find them on Amazon. :-( I will get some Phelps to try next time I order. Not bow hunting until next year at earliest. Figure my son needs to be able to draw and shoot a 50lbs bow first.

I know, but I was already ordering like $200 of books, etc off amazon for some birthday gifts and they just happened to be available there. Like I said, next time I purchase some calls, it will be direct from Phelps. ::)

People still read books with paper and bindings?  :chuckle:

My kids do. They have full bookshelves and read every night before bed. My son has been told by his teachers he needs to read more fiction and less non-fiction. Kid is an encyclopedia of Titanic facts and trivia, among other things. Guess I am old school like that. :D

Sorry to jack the thread OP. Will let you know how these game calls work for me when I get them.
