Anyone know where I could possibly find some mouth calls that are latex free? I've not had much luck googling, and I've talked to a few different people I know that make calls and they weren't any help either. It seems I've developed a latex allergy about 4 years ago and since then I've used nothing but my pot calls, which works, but there is situations I'd love to have been able to give a call here and there and stay down on the gun.
Try Mountain Hollow Game Calls. They make a yellow three reed .003 Prophylactic with Ghost Cut.
I may be wrong, but I think that a prophylactic reed call may still contains some content of Latex within its formula unless it is specifically identified as being "Latex Free" so be careful. I know the Prophylactic reeds that I have are NOT Latex Free. I wish I had better information for you, good luck.

Correct. Before ordering calls from anybody, I would advise asking if they are certain that the materials they use for making calls is not partially latex-based. It could be that going the proph route, and hoping it does not set off a reaction, is your only option as I have not heard of anybody/company that is specifically making calls that don't have latex in the material mix. I'm not even sure there is a suitable product out there to be used as call reeds...and would be interested to hear if there is, as well. :icon_thumright:
Natural voice, search Preston Pittman on utube.
In days of old when men were bold and rubber wasn't invented,
They'd use their voice as first choice and walk away contented.

When I was a kid/teen I could natural voice call decent, but I sure can't anymore! Funny enough, my 6 year old can yelp just like our hen turkeys in the yard and he gets them riled up about every day :toothy12:

yep that's the problem I've run into, is most proph contains some latex. If I knew for sure what I needed, I'd entertain buying the supplies and trying my hand at building a few.
Honestly - If I was you, I would probably go old school and find some non-latex condoms, wash them, cut them up, press them flat, make turkey calls. Thickness should be roughly correct (I would buy ultra-thin if able) and those companies aren't going to risk someone having an allergic reaction so they should be completely latex free.
Prophylactic is just a different formulation of latex that is hot formed to produce a thinner layer. Remember prophylactic is the medical term for condom.
