How many can do this call on their mouth calls and PLEASE :) give me some advice (pretty please with sugar on top :) ) I have it down on my tube call, I think. Have been trying forever on my mouth calls and to put it mildly... it's SAD! Made a hen REALLY mad last year by mocking her cackle and other calls on a slate type call but still can not do the call on a mouth call. thanks for any advice.

Scott: Not sure I can tell you how. I just practiced until I got it down. Obviously you have to shorten and speed up your breaths for the first 5-6+ notes, then just slide right into sharp agressive hen yelps. Myself, I have a tough time making a fly-down that sounds good on a slate or box. I can cut good on a slate and box. I do think the importance of the fly-down is somewhat over-emphasized. Some good aggressive hen yelps will usually produce the same result. Good luck and practice...practice.

Hello Scott,I can do it on mouth calls better than the box or slate. The way I do it on the mouth call, is start with a slow kit,kit then speed up with a cat,cat,cat,cat then end with a couple of sharp yelps. This method seems to work ok for me hope it helps some.
