The front note of the yelp-instructional

[DUCKDIGGLER]

Scott,

Thank you very much for the additional clarification Sir! It makes a bit more sense now. I'll keep practicing as I am possessed to get it right! By the way I am really digging your WH call

Much obliged!

That's some good stuff! Thanks for posting SE. A few years ago I heard Matt Van Cise in a contest and thought he had that distinct two note yelp sounding way better than 95%of the real hens in the woods. He sounded like he had a box call in his mouth. I have been trying to duplicate that since. It's very easy to let the rasp overtake the notes.
Great pointers! You have a very realistic yelp as well. Thanks for the help.

Scott awesome instruction

To go a little more in depth Duck, when your attempting to get the front end of the yelp, try to "pant" on the call or envision your fogging a mirror.  You want to push the air not blow the call. Then place light pressure with your tongue until you clean up the rasp.  In essence all were really doing is restricting the cut or top reed from vibrating allowing the clear sound of the second and third reeds to start the yelp.
