If you’ve ever bought a call for a turkey hunt just to give him a few hours before he announced that this is not a call for you … Well, you are not alone.
Most connections from the lips cost about USD 10, or maybe it explains why they can be easily rejected when you don’t get the sound you are looking for right away.
“You don’t have to be expert with a call to kill turkeys, but a conversation with your mouth has so many advantages,” said Shane Simpson of Minnesota.
Simpson is a telephone producer, a competitive champion ringing and a passionate hunter who hunts turkeys in seven to 10 states each year in public earth. Divides his hunt and tactics His website AND Social media accounts YouTubeIN FacebookIN Instagram AND Thicket.

Simpson said he loves the versatility, which is given by an oral conversation. Many times turns on the oral cavity and the pot during the same causing sequence to imitate two separate chickens.
“Reads the temperature” of individual volumes, but is usually an aggressive caller – yes, even on public land, in which hunters often think that they cannot call the aggressive pressure of birds.
“It seems to be the best – cut, excited,” said Simpson. “There are things that I can do on the oral cavity that is almost impossible to do on a pot or box. Small moans and quick connections. I can make a few tendons and murmur and moans, and then I can Jake-yelp And go to the chicken with a call to the mouth. I can relatively easily and quickly go to all these connections and sound more authentic like a real turkey. “
What kind of call to choose from
Connections are available in all options, from one latex reed to two, three and four reeds.
Simpson produced on YouTube a film of oral connection mechanics (above), in which he describes everything about learning to apply oral cavity. He says that hunters need at least twice a connection-one cane to create a front-end note, and the other to create a hoarse note-to publish the most realistic turkey sounds.
Many tutorials will inform hunters that two -level connections are easier to blow, and therefore are good for beginners. Simpson loves the sound he receives from three years.
“The thing with a two-heated thing is that there is not enough, I call how a rod spine or a sufficient spine in which you can become very aggressive, not sounding too much like a latex,” he said. “You can hear this latex vibration and it doesn’t sound realistic enough. Having the third reeds downstairs, everything he does, it gives a little spine.”
Find your air channel; It is crucial
Among the options to choose from, there are many different styles of cuts on the upper reed.
Look at where the gap is cut (on the left, right or centered) on the connection, because it will be placed in the mouth. This is crucial, says Simpson, because each person has a specific air channel – how the air moves over the language and through the cane. Buying a connection that is cut to match, where the air travels through the reed will bring the best -sounding connections.

“I think it’s your trends,” said Simpson. “The air channel in my language is in the middle of my language, but I tend to make my tongue up and left. It put this air channel to the left side of the call.”
To determine the air duct, it recommends the apply of a two -level connection that has no cut in the upper reed. Place it towards the front of the mouth, slightly broken, and go to the point where you can consistently produce a high note at the front. Watch the Simpson Call Mechanics video to get a good picture of how to do it.
With a slightly open mouth, produce this note on the front, looking in the mirror with a flashlight to see where it creates the air channel with the tongue.
Another way to determine the air channel is three connections with different cuts – one gap in the middle, one on the left and one on the right. Free them all and determine which combination gives the purest note.
“I had many people who provide me with feedback, and they did not look in the mirror and say:” I tried connections and it looks like the one with the combination is on the right is the only one I can get a pleasant, glowing note, so I assume my channel is there, “said Simpson. “I would say yes, it is most likely.”
A few final tips
The lips of the lips may require some period, but it is a short-well-looking for a long time so that the tape can be in line with the palate and saliva to tidy the reeds to get a great sound.
Latex breaks down, so the connection sound will change with time and apply.
“For me, they sound good from the gate and become a little better when the reeds are cleaned and when the reeds basically begin to fall apart,” said Simpson. “At the beginning of using the connection, I can call aggressively and get nice, clean cuts and screams, but (after more use) instead of sharp cuts, they have more soles in them.”
If you experience tickling your tongue, you don’t blow the air by connecting.
“This is usually the tip of the language that tickles on vibrating cane,” said Simpson. “The fat part, the middle part of the language, is what should make contact with reeds.”
Simpson recommends buying connections from the connection manufacturer, which prioritizes consistency.
“I’m not trying to sell mine when I say that. I just say who you buy, look at this kind of things,” said Simpson. “Make two connections from the shelf that come from the same manufacturer, the same cut and visually compare them and make sure that they are consistently the same. If it is a company that does not apply to consistency or have many people cutting reeds on them and are not consistent that can affect the sound.”
Finally, exercise and gain confidence before entering the forest. Listening Audio of real turkeys It helps to transfer the call to a different level.
“I usually did the chicken that I liked and tried to copy it,” said Simpson. “Ok, here is her front note, here is how it goes into a grinding. You will always be more authentic if you listen to a real thing.”
