This call is the ticket for both beginners and those who have historically struggled with diaphragms. With a ghost cut out of the reed’s center, you can easily master great medium-range raspy tones and kee-kees. Volume level is soft to medium.
Using a combo-cut reed, this call achieves the raspy sounds of an old hen while also retaining the ability to soft-talk. This call has been the easiest for Steve to master and has become his absolute go-to. It’s sure to give you more confidence with a mouth call as well. Volume level is medium.
Janis Putelis’ Latvian Eagle
Janis’ friend and turkey whisperer, Guy Zuck, introduced him to the “chunk-cut reed.” It allows you to get loud and raspy with the overhanging reed but also make a very clean note with the opposite side of the call when you need it. Janis often uses this call as a locator to make extremely loud cuts and yelps. Thicker latex creates a longer lasting, sturdier call that stands up to many high volume calling sequences. Volume level is medium to loud.
