Mouth Diaphram Help!

[guesswho]

Ok, I do ok with a mouth call but I know I could be better.  I don't fully understand this blow air from your diaphram stuff.  How in the heck do you do that?  I may be doing it right but I'm not sure.  I've always just blown the call, but I don't think the air is coming from my diaphram.  I wasn't even sure I had one.  Now that I know I have one how do you get air from it?  How is that air different than any other air you blow?

Imagine you've got one of them nasty coughs that cause your ribs to ache. Air that comes from there is the air ya need to operate a mouth call. When I see my belly movin' when I call, I know I'm doin' it right.

So my belly should be moving when I call.  Man this is going to be harder than I thought.

Kind of like when your trying to fog up a mirror

[FireDoc]

Considering the amount of Tom's that have fallen to your skills, I don't think it'd be fair to the turkey species for you to get better at any more calls.

Normally when my belly moves it's a accompanied by a loud noise like a dominant buck grunt, followed shortly after by a grotesque smell.   My diaphram must be no where near where I thought it was.   And I haven't fogged up any mirrors since High School!  Man ya'll ain't much help.  I guess I should have started this back about August.

Heck I must be doing something wrong to.  I just ran my call and didn't notice my belly moving

My belly doesn't move. Get a good seal, and force air through it. It does not take a bunch of air to make a diaphragm call work. In fact, it is just the opposite. Start by putting your tongue, (about an inch back from the tip) on the back of the call. This will hold it in place. Blow softly until you get a noise. After you succeed on a noise, try getting a turkey noise. The front half of a yelp, maybe. When you get that note, then you drop your jaw down for the rest of the yelp.. Practice is the key. Clucks and putts will be easy, once you master the yelp. It is a piece of cake, once you get the hang of it. You don't blow a mouth call like you're blowing out candles on a cake. Nice and easy. It will come to you. Good luck, Guesswho..Mike

It doesnt take much air at all.  In fact, most people blow to hard.  Like someone else said, I blow the air like I'm trying to fog the mirror but my belly dont move.  I dont do like the instructions on the call say.  I dont say yelp or calk or whatever it is.  Its hard for me to explain.  

[econo]

I can see it coming now!  This spring we are going to hear all these stories about how people missed gobblers because they didn't see them coming in. Too busy watching there belly move while calling...lol

Ronnie, call OTH, he is the best non-"pro" caller I have heard.
I also agree, you don't need any more help killing turkeys.
