I've been racking my brain and building many calls trying to find that perfect kee call. I can't kee on a ghost cut and need some advice on building a call to kee kee with.

Try a three reed (.004 over 2 proph) combo cut stretched between 160 and 180. I have never been able to kee kee well with a ghost cut. Combo cuts and batwings tend to work best for me.

Try using a boss cut. Stretch the reeds higher than you usually would to get a higher pitch.

This.  I would say two yellow stretched about .150 plus.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

I guess I must have missed a bit of the terminology in my mouth calling past.  What exactly is a "boss" cut,...I've never heard that term used before?

A boss cut has 2 small vertical slits; one on each side of call. I leave a small amount of latex between the cut and the side of the frame. I tried to post a picture but can't get it to work

Okay, I get it,....I assume it's called that because that is the design used for the "old boss hen" call from QB...?

Yep...boss cut or boss hen cut.

...just didn't realize it had been shortened to just being called a boss cut,...I need to catch up with the newest nomenclature, I guess...  :D
