Hunting always takes a lot of patience to achieve success. But you can accelerate the hunting experience using various gear available in a broad variety today. Among other things, such gear includes hunting calls. With their help, you’ll be able to lure animals to come within shooting distance and not care so much about noises you would be making to get near an animal.
Hunting Game Calls
You need to imitate different calls depending on the species and season. There are four types of calls: mating, aggression, distress, and position calls. You should be mindful of all aspects of animal behavior to use calls correctly and effectively. Otherwise, you’ll be stuck with nothing to hunt.
To start, let’s mention that all game calls are classified into hand-held and electronic ones.
Hand-heldanimal calls are affordable and extremely portable as most of them will fit into your pocket. Yet, to make the most of them, you should master several techniques. Hand-held calls are made of wood or plastics. The sound of a wooden call is mellower than of a plastic one, but the latter carries sound a bit further. Compared to wooden ones, plastic game calls require far less care.
If you haven't mastered any techniques yet and want to have a broad variety of calls right at hand, electronic hunting calls are for you. Of course, they are expensive, a bit less portable, and require battery power (of which you can run out unexpectedly), but you can connect to it and play sounds from a distance. Electronic calls are the best choice for a novice hunter.
If hand-held game calls are what you’re looking for, you’ve paid attention to the versatility of designs and types. Let's dwell on each of them in more detail.
Mouth calls
Mouth calls look like a semicircle with a membrane embedded between two sides on one exposed edge. Mouth calls can have one, two, or three reeds. The more reeds, the more effort you need to make sounds. They also come with different reed cuts: each cut type is disposed to certain sounds.
Mouth calls require proficiency to use them, so inexperienced hunters will probably face some challenges. But, once you’ve mastered it, you’ll be able to produce tons of calls. Usually, you’ll come across turkey mouth calls, but some hunters got the knack of using them as elk calls and even as predator calls (imitating calls of a dying rabbit, for instance).
Open and closed reed calls
The difference between these two types is pretty clear from their names: open reed calls have their reed exposed, and the reed of closed ones is located inside the barrel. With open reed calls, you’ll be able to produce a wider range of sounds using your lips, teeth, and fingers. That’s why they are more difficult to master. Closed reed calls, on the other hand, sound louder.
Open reed calls are good for making a vast range of sounds, from elk and deer calls to predator calls. Goose and duck calls often use a closed reed design. With closed reed calls, you can also produce buck grunts and doe bleats.
Friction calls
These are used for turkey hunting. The most popular designs are box calls, push-button calls, and pot calls. Friction calls are easy to use, so many beginners start with them.
