My first tube call

Well I just got my first tube call. I must have seen that KT team video where Mark Prudhomme was demoing a tube call right when it came out. I don't usually do this but I ordered that thing right away. I've never tried a tube call before and it sounded amazing in the video. Of course Mark Prudhomme was using the call so I wasn't sure where to set my expectations with it. Also if it helps out the KT team I consider that a win. Anyway here it is and I don't have a clue how to use this thing but I'm looking forward to figuring it out.  I have a for sale thread in the classifieds with lanyards like the one in the picture if anyone needs one for their tube call.

Do you have a link to the video where he was running it?

Try that. It's on the KT team Facebook page. I had to scroll down for a minute to find it.

That is a nice tube and a great lanyard for it, too.  Mark is one of a kind and in a class by himself.  Makes great calls and volunteers by teaching hens how to speak the language and pronunciate in his spare time.  :TooFunny: 

Thanks for posting the call.  Can't go wrong with that one!

Hope to get 1/4 that good one day. Congratulations on the new call and the fun in learning a new one, I am trying to learn them myself.

Now that I've been perusing the tube section I see you make some nice looking calls to!

Nice!  I ended up not carrying my tube this season. I still need some more or at ie with it but I did use my trumpet a lot this spring.

I could never get the hang of running a tube call. Maybe because I do well with everything else I did not take enough time to learn it. Maybe I should give it another try.

Old Timer, this was the first year I was "confident" using a tube call and I yanked several gobbles out of turkeys. I was quite impressed.

Just like most turkey calls, the more confidence you have in it, the better it seems to work.

Every second you are in contact with a mature gobbler, events and circumstances take place, any one of which could have a direct bearing on your losing the game.
