Other Animal Sounds on a Mouth Call

[simpzenith]

I seem to recall that I read somewhere that the modern turkey mouth call was actually invented as a song bird call. Can anyone confirm that?

I'm always experimenting with the capabilities of a mouth call and have gotten to the point of being able to make some decent vocalizations of other animals and bird species. Loon, Northern Flicker, Red-Shouldered Hawk for examples. I've been working on crow cawing but that's proving difficult so far. 

My question is can any of you make other animal sounds on a mouth call and which animals? Would be cool to hear what you can do.

No more than i use them, i guess you could say i'm making some kind of animal sounds, just not sure of what animal it is most of the time. LOL... Good luck this spring.

I'm really good at sounding like a moron, and when I'm really on my game a straight up idiot

I heard this fella on the YouTube that could do a pretty good coyote bark/howl on one

Shane - I was at the circus when I was 14 and they were walking around selling a double reeded turkey call. A beautiful lady was walking around with a head mic holding a box full of individually packaged calls. The ring master got quiet and she started talking about what she was sellimg...(10 - 12 dollars I might add) she made every sound from all the circus animals at the show that night, plus sounds we were familiar with from nature and domesticated and wild. Im sure it can be done, as I still remember this from 20+ years ago.

I just have a few like you mentioned, and try to work on more.

I nearly forgot.  Sika deer!  Currently using a diaphragm designed for elk but any high pitched turkey call without cuts works just fine.

That had to be interesting to see/hear. Did you buy any?

I have enough trouble sounding like a turkey on one!

Once in TN I made a passable enough elk call to call a cow elk to about 25 yards.

Besides your normal hen calls, I can gobble and also Elk Cow and Elk Bugle, then Coyote Barks, Howls and also rabbit squeal and a pretty decent crow call.

Hawk, sandhill crane, elk, and a mating bigfoot.

I can get a decent crow out of it, coyote howl is solid.  Elk calls of course.

I did not. At the time I wasn't a turkey hunter. I asked for one, but my dad said it was a scam., no way anyone could make those sounds with that thing. Thanks dad!!!

Can confirm.  I owned a little single reed diaphragm bird call when I was a young chap. My mom bought it for me when I was about 12 years old. After a little practice I could tweet and chirp just like a bird with it. Local song birds would call back and come over to see what was so wrong with the one that they heard over there on that bicycle.

And so it began.
