Title: DIY Pot Call Cover
Post by: TTG on April 07, 2019, 08:19:08 PM
Has anybody come up with an idea to make their own? I know Enticer and Woodhaven make them, but I'm sure they're made to fit their line of calls.

I bought some Enticer covers and they fit my Halloran pots no problem. I don't have any others to try them on...yet.

I use crown royal bags, apple, maple and black in 750ml size works great.
Time for a shot. ;D

Does anybody with the woodhaven covers know the diameter of them? Or are they designed so they can fit different sized calls?

The vanilla bag with the others and you'll have a full camo set. The new peach bags would be good too if you have a problem with losing them. Lol.

A 3 1/2" call cover should fit just about all the 3 1/2" calls regardless of maker.

Tupper wear makes a water proof container that fits most pots. A bit hard to find but worth the trouble.

Here is an option that's similar to the Tupperware but much cheaper. These are oversized enough that any pot call will fit in one. A couple paper towels around the call would hold it mostly in place and protect it from bouncing around.

So for a standard 3 1/2" pot call, is the entire width 3 1/2" or just the calling surface.  If the covers fit all the different calls i guess it's the total width.

Just the surface is roughly 3.5 inches. Usually most call makers rims are close enough in size that these covers like the Woodhaven and Enticers that are flexible, will fit the call within their tolerances.

I tried a Woodhaven cover on a Halloran and it didn't fit.

This is what I was about to say myself, I do not recall what size though.
