(Just for fun) Call makers, how many prototypes did it take you to find your perfect sound for each type of call that you make?
For example, I had a hunt-worthy "sound" after 12 pot call attempts. However, 40-50 pot calls made later and I still feel like I am not making the absolute best sounding call that is possible to make, and I know there is room for improvement . Always after that new and more realistic sound....
-Tube calls - I made a working hunt-able tube call with good sound on the first try, but when it comes to playing one I have a long ways to go!
-Trumpets.... Never attempted one but looking forward to the journey. I'm scared it will become an addiction.
Been doing it over 25 years, still working on a better sound, be doing it until I die.
