A lot of times I will have two reeds in my mouth during a setup. The one not In use gets tucked in my cheek.

For anyone that keeps their reed in their mouth full time, do you have any problems with it getting to limber, or soggy, to the point it detracts from its sound? I've had that problem, but I'm new to using a mouth reed ( this will be my second season with a lot of practice in between) so I'm not sure if its a technique problem, or the mouth full time is not a good way to go for me.
Before the economy went south I hunted every single day of the spring turkey season year after year. I normally keep a reed in my mouth for hours at a time each day, sometimes I wore out 2 or 3 in a season, it does take a toll on them. Last year and this year is the first time I have ever gotten two seasons out of one reed for many years, mostly because I did not get to hunt as much as usual.
Essentially elk and turkey reeds are the same thing, I've even used one for the other. Even though I don't use a mouth reed much in elk season, I would expect the same with an elk reed.
Almost forgot to mention, I had a hunter from MS this year who keeps his reeds in a small container with mint mouthwash. He says it kills the bacteria which breaks down the latex and they taste good when you put them in your mouth even after sitting for weeks.

The hard plastic cases make too much noise.
Very true! I stuff paper towel in between the reeds so they don't bang against the plastic.

I put a small aligator clip on my bino straps and clip the reed to it. Keeps the reed close by for when I need it.Thats a good idea right there !

I really like the idea of it hanging on the out side of the clothing/pockets to air dry. I'll need to find some kind of clip to hook it to my reed cow call or binos!! No roach clip here, my wife would question what I'm really doing out in the feild. Maybe a large paper clip hooked to the lanyard, great ideas guys. Thanks!

I like the Berry coin purse. They make no noise and are ventilated. Haven't needed to try anything else. I have one I've used since the late 80's and still works great. I don't see them on his website anymore so I'm not sure if he still carries them. They were only about $2.50 each and available in red and brown.:yeah:

Currently they are:
every pocket , my mouth , in a case in my pack , Hell I find them every where .
