Keep the QB in a ziplock bag , the reeds break down after time , best in the fridge in the off season
you can take water and pour it down into the call to moisten up the reeds - this will make a more "slobbery" lol ! gobble ,pull the bellows to suck in the water - think I just invented a new word "slobbery" there, but like a mouth call the reeds will sound a little better when wet
I get about 1 season out of a QB
