So, I think the Legacy Lone Hen (2 reed batwing) sounds great, and I am good with it, but after hearing a live hen up close and personal the other morning, I realized how raspy hens, and a call could be and still be effective. That and the fact that the toms would only gobble at my cousin's calling Legacy Leading Lady (4 reed inverted "V"), I decided that I need to learn to use a 3 or 4 reed call with some rasp to it. So, I already have a Legacy Wild Hunter (3 reed "V" cut) and a Legacy Lost Legacy (3 reed ghost cut), and have been using them non-stop since the other day. I have my yelps down, but am still working on purrs. I was amazed at how easily I can cut on the 3 reed calls versus the 2 reed calls.
I like the ghost cut because it seems to have a dedicated clear front end turning into a raspy back end. I think that is going to be my go-to starter call when I can get onto public land on April 1st. I noticed the other day that my cousin only ever yelped, and he called in two birds, so I am not too worried that I can not purr on them yet. If I feel like I just have to cluck and purr, I will have my 2 reed calls with me anyways.
I ordered some Halloran mouth calls the other day (Serial Killer Pro Pack), and am looking forward to giving them a try. There is a 2 reed batwing cut (Natural Born Killer), a 3 reed batwing cut (She Devil) (really looking forward to this call!), and a 3 reed batwing/inverted "V" (Total Knock Out).
So, the point of my post is that I am glad that I have taken the time to learn to use different calls (both reeds and cuts). Thanks for reading through all of my rambling. Happy hunting!!!
