Title: Time to make my Toneboards.
Post by: bearmanric on September 20, 2013, 05:57:36 AM: On my way to Michigan. Going to be gone three weeks. I will be CNC machining my Toneboards and call parts. Yellerdog and I will be working on some wolf toneboards. I have a bunch of calls with me to sell. Be watching when I get home for some killer Howlers. Have a bunch of cowhorns in. They sing with the YDD2 Toneboard. Take care and watch for my Howlers i so will be Donating to the coyote contest and other calls. Rick

I want to thank you for your cow elk calls. Over the last week I have put your cow elk call to the test, I compared three cow elk calls, RR Calls, Primos Cow Girl, and Hoochie Mamma. I know a lot of guys make jokes about hoochie mammas but they do work quite well and anyone can use them with very little practice and have reasonable success. The primos cow girl was a waste of money, more elk shut up and went the other direction than what responded to it. I called to at least 30 bulls last week and the RR cow elk call performed very well bringing numerous bulls within shooting range, including the bull we killed. THANKS TO RR CALLS

I am anxious to see your new wolf howlers! :tup:

Post by: Snipe on October 10, 2013, 07:19:40 AM: Well, I received my calls from you and what can I say! Decided to wait and play a bit b4 I posted my thanks. My calls were neatly packaged and had extra lanyards and all look and sound excellent. My wolf howler is amazingly good to look at but I need more practice as I seem get a "gurgle, almost "duck" sound ruining the end of my howls. I may be running out of breath or something but cannot seem to give it a good ending?? any clues as to what I may be doing wrong?
Also, what is the name of the knot you use on the lanyard, I need to undo 2 of them and resize to fit but do not know that knot?

Rick, you stuff is excellent and I am having a blast with them, not sure if my neighbors or the folk at traffic lights are enjoying them as much tho!!!!
