I just checked the mail and their they were! :z-guntootsmiley: :z-guntootsmiley: :z-guntootsmiley:
The calls that Dan shipped just a couple of Days ago, talk about in a hurry to get home to open them. I have to say, I like them ALOT.
And they are easy to use, sound awesome, going to practice with them just a bit and put them in the vest.
THANK YOU DAN!!!
got mine today too thank you dan :z-paddy-smiley113:
Got mine as well they are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again Dan! :thanks:
Got mine too! They ROCK! My favorite is definitely the 2 reed whistler. That thing can SING!
Thanks again, Dan!
GOT MINE TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :z-guntootsmiley: :happy0064: :you_rock: :jackson: Haven't tested them but I sure bolted out the door to check the mail when I saw this thread!
I got mine as well today, checked out the Whistler 2 reed and it is SAAAWWWEEEETTTTT. Will start wereing them out this week end, starting tommorow on the way to the convention.
Doctor's orders: run em tonight and get em good and wet then wash em off and set em on the countertop overnight to dry out. :z-paddy-smiley113:
Dan what does that do to them?
Kind of conditions them. I always do this with my call's and never make a judgement on a call, good or bad, til I run em the next day.
once again dan thanks for the killer calls they are veery easy to run
My parents are here at my house so I didn't run them yet. My girlfriend grabbed one and ran it though :TooFunny: she likes it
LOL! A girlfriend is the only person you can share a call with. :TooFunny:

You may want to PM Dan (mdf1027) or go to the bottom and click on his link DanKendallCalls and just listen to them. :icon_thumright:
Got the calls yesterday will be running them today thank you Dan.
I figured they might take and extra day to get up to the frozen tundra. lol
Glad you guys like em- now go practice with em and let's kill some birds!!
Dan I love both of these calls. I especially like the Whistler. Betweeen these two new calls, my new pot from last week, and my new wing bone, my new neighbors are gonna hate me. I had the old ones pretty well trained, but these new ones don't know what to think of the strange sounds they hear coming from my house.

Dan, I ran them calls again today and I think I got them down pretty good, just need to work on the keekee just a tad bit more. I need to be just a bit more consistent on it, in my opinion. :icon_thumright:
I absolutely love the whistler, it has a very unique sound and I haven't heard anything like it. I'm going to be starting out with it in the mornings and I know it is going to be my fall call. I really like the rasp of the sw. I just need to get a cd of turkeys and practice up.
I'm working on a short instructional vid. for those that might need a little help. There's lot's of folks out there that just went out to Wally World where they bought their first call and they started calling without having anyone really show them what they need to do. I think it will help. I'm think I'm also going to add another model. I've had quite a few requests for a hard cutt'n and yelp'n call and I've just been making them up and sending them out. If that's your bag you'll love this call.
The instructional video would be great Dan. I really struggle with cutting and cackling on the mouth call but can get by. I can't purr well to save my life.
Josh, unfortunately this first vid. is a real starter vid. and only will cover yelping and how to do a two noted yelp. I'll work on another one that's a little more advanced once I get this one worked out.
I do the same thing as Shawn. To practice say them to yourself 3-4 times and then use the call formulating the words as you exhale air from your diaphragm. For cutting I use "back", cluck- "pot", yelp- "whelp" and I purr like Shawn does by a combination of tongue flutter and gargling. For a fighting purr I use my lips a "lot" more.
Thanks for the tips, I will be practicing on the way home!

.I also through a feeding call that sounds like whoot woo like your whistling to a women.I heard it on a tree top turkey by woodhaven,I posted in there forum and they said it was a feeding call. Has anyone else heard something to that dan
Nope, I would like to hear some audio of it though.
I can't say I've ever heard a feeding call like that. I'd like to hear it too. In all honesty I'm a yelper, lol, but if you guys have aspirations of getting in some contests you need to know how to do all that stuff. I was just goofing around yelping on a single reed call. lol That's how we learned way back when. I know I could just go into the woods with one single reed call and kill a bird. That would be a pretty good challenge. One bullet-one call. lol :z-paddy-smiley113:

Yeah I dont know if the guy form woodhaven was pulling my leg thats I asked you guys
:bike2:
Got em today! sound great and LOUD!
IVE HEARD THE CALL YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT IT'S KINDA LIKE A LOW TONE WHISTLE OR MAYBE LOW VOLUME PURR
Wes your right, it's sorta like a long gated purr with out the urr and a putt mixed in there.
Are you all talkin about the "whine"?

That may be what Shawn is talking about.

There is thread in the general forum "purr and the whine" it has a video of tame turkeys making the sounds Shawn maybe talkin about.
Quote from: moore on February 25, 2011, 07:34:56 AM
I talk to joe aka trkyhntr and we were discussing it and that why he made the video, He said the he never heard that from his turkeys and the ones he hunts.He thought I was were refering to the whine is the only thing that came close to what I was talking about
Was that it (whine)?
Quote from: moore on February 25, 2011, 07:31:30 PM
yes sir it is
Man I am glad it was, it was reckon havoc on my mind, I just couldn't figure out what you was talking about at first. I kept thinkin, is there something I haven't heard of before, other than the squeeling hen.
the time i heard the sound im talking about i was sittin in the trck on the side of the road i think it was early fall rick was with me but he couldnt hear it
the birds were about 20 yrds from the truck they were feeding in a field to me it seemed like they were out to lunch and just carrieing on a lite conversation
Just got my calls in the mail today. I got the 2 reed Whistler and the 2 reed Secret weapon and they both sound great. VERY easy to blow, I love the rasp of the SW. They will both be in my vest. Thanks a lot Dan, hope they can help me knock some birds down. :icon_thumright:
Good deal Travis. Now go and kill something with them. :fud::newmascot:
Well guys have ya'll been practiceing on these mouth calls ? I sure have, I have honestly gotten so good that yesterday driveing down the road in my gas truck I was running the Secret Weapon and looked in my mirror and there were 4 gobbleing toms chaseing me down Carter Blake rd.... :toothy12:

I was trying to go simple with this call thing and I went nuts today. I reached back in my greatest hits album and well-
Just go look at my website. :jackson:
I already looked at it. How good do they sound? You going to put up a video of them as well. I'm sure they sound as good as the other ones.
Dan thats a bunch of calls, how they run, as easy as the rest.
I made up vid's for all of em and hope to post them tonight. I'm getting rid of that long vid on there now. These are all short and sweet. 15 sec or less. I know guys like to hear what potential a call has but it's really kind of irrevelant and somewhat misleading how I sound on a call. I notice that most callmaker's don't do sound files. Probably for that reason. Plus, I'm not the greatest caller in the world so it's probably counterproductive. lol I guess you can tell how raspy or clear a call is but even that is kind of questionable.
Got the video's up. Whew! that was a bunch of work. lol

I watched most of them. I think I chose the two calls that suit me best but they all sound great that I listened too. :z-winnersmiley:
You sayin' I'm ugly Shawn?????????????????? :emoticon-animal-005:
Dan, I ain't one to start trouble or anything,,,but I wouldn't take that if I was you,,, calling you ugly and all.... :TooFunny:

The videos are pretty good Dan, their good enough to learn from.
