Abstract: An elk call can be arranged as an air flow and aft mixing system, designed to cause the air flow to rotate and mix, creating a surround sound or echo that can create a sonic illusion that can confuse an elk as to the location of the caller.

Abstract: In one or more arrangements, a method is provided for manufacturing a game call that incorporates ashes of cremated remains of a pet or loved one. The provided method incorporates the ashes into a polymer mixture used to form one or more components of the game call.

After curing, a call profile is cut into the component. The component may be processed, for example, by sanding, wet sanding, finishing, painting, and/or polishing. The component is assembled with other components of the game call to form the game call.

The nasal sound preferably is a snort wheeze sound associated with a Whitetail Buck.

Abstract: A game call includes a mouthpiece having a plurality of vibrating reed areas, and/or a mouthpiece that is adjustable relative to the housing, to produce unusual and complex sounds that are very much like wild game sounds. The plurality of reed areas may be two areas of a single tubular reed vibrating on different areas of the mouthpiece, and, preferably, vibrating on opposite sides of the mouthpiece. The opposite sides of the mouthpiece may include surface contours, including indentures, curvatures, or orifices, which cooperate with the vibrating reed and/or subsequently affect the air waves created by the vibrating reed. The mouthpiece cooperates with a housing, so that air from the user's mouth travels across the reed areas, creating vibrations in the air, which air vibrations travel into the housing resonating chamber, and out to the surrounding area.

Abstract: A game call system includes a mouthpiece that produces sound by a plurality of reed or membrane portions vibrating against or near a plurality of sound-producing surfaces. Preferably, the game call has two recessed or curved or contoured surfaces on two halves of a generally circular end of the mouthpiece, with an aperture between the two curved/contoured surfaces. These surfaces may be identical, substantially identical, or different, and the reeds or reed portions also may be identical, substantially identical, and or different. Air passes over the reed(s) to create vibrations in the reed(s), and the resulting sound waves pass through the center aperture of the mouthpiece into the resonating chamber of the call, and through any resonating tube or other member that may optionally be present. The multiple sound-producing regions allow for more complex and/or realistic sounds than conventional single sound-producing region and single reed calls.

Abstract: A freeze-proof, game call for calling predatory game animals through inhaling includes a mouthpiece, a reed assembly, and an amplification member. The mouthpiece has first and second ends with the first end defining an aperture for fluidly communicating with a mouth of a user such that the user can inhale through the aperture. The reed assembly is disposed within the mouthpiece at the second end and includes a reed. The reed has a working end opposite the aperture of the mouthpiece that vibrates as air is drawn across it to produce a tone upon inhalation by the user through the aperture. The reed assembly is free of grooves and O-rings that modify the tone produced by the reed assembly. The amplification member is operatively connected to the mouthpiece member to completely enclose the working end of the reed. The amplification member amplifies the tone produce by the reed assembly.

Abstract: A game call having an externally actuated mechanical sound adjustment member for varying the sound emitted from the game call. The game call has a housing rotatably engaged with a reed assembly, such that rotation of the reed assembly relative to the housing causes a sound adjustment member to exert a varied force upon a sound producing reed. The insertion of the sound adjustment member into the housing additionally functions to secure the reed assembly to the housing by partially restricting rotational movement of the reed assembly relative to the housing, such that a retaining member positioned in an annular groove on the reed assembly cannot rotate to engage an exit channel, thereby detaching the reed assembly from the housing.

Abstract: A dual diaphragm hand-held game call having a sound chamber therein with a diaphragm at each end wherein the diaphragms each include a latex diaphragm sandwiched between relatively rigid opposing plates with the opposing plates having sonic energy focussing teeth on at least one of the plates.

Abstract: A mouth blown turkey call is provided with a wooden housing dimensioned with a mouth piece at a distal end and an output void at a proximal end. The housing is divided into a top and bottom. Air flows through a top and bottom first air chamber, past a reed seated in a top and bottom reed chamber, and through a top and bottom resonance chamber before it leaves the housing through a top and bottom second air chamber and output void. Turkey calls are generated by a person blowing into said mouth piece which stimulates the reed. By varying the air pressure applied, various mimicking turkey sounds are produced.

Abstract: A deer grunt caller capable of producing sounds only at predetermined discrete pitches. The caller includes a reed supported in a tube through which air is blown. The air causes the reed to vibrate and the caller to emit a sound of a given pitch. A plurality of push-buttons extend radially through the sidewall of the tube and are capable of engaging the reed upon finger actuation to produce a sound at a predetermined pitch, such as that corresponding to a fawn, a doe or a buck. The use of finger actuated push buttons permits sounds of a given discrete pitch to be readily reproduced and prevents sounds at unwanted pitches from being emitted by the caller.

Abstract: An adjustable game call apparatus includes a sounding board, an air passageway formed in the sounding board, and a vibrating reed positioned within the air passageway adjacent the sounding board. A pair of guide posts extend upward from the sounding board to receive a pair of cut-out areas formed in the reed. The slots and posts allow the reed to be longitudinally adjustable relative to the sounding board of the game call apparatus. Another aspect of the game call apparatus comprises a moisture diverter system which involves a plurality of diverters formed in the sounding board to direct moisture away from the reed and toward a trough formed in the sounding board. The diverters also provide a precision tuning system for the game call to ensure the full high and low ends of the desired range of tones are produced by the game call.

Abstract: A modular game call system comprising generally a mouthpiece assembly, a tubular portion, and a resonance producing end. The mouthpiece assembly can be completely removed from the call to enable the tubular section and resonance producing end piece to be used separately with any other type of call. The mouthpiece assembly comprises a detachable snap-on diaphragm that insures accurate, consistent tension of the membrane to allow high quality tones to be produced. Alternatively, a sheet of membrane material can be attached to the end of the mouthpiece assembly to create high quality tones. The resonance producing end piece allows the call to produce a resonant sound highly similar to a bugling bull elk.

Abstract: The invention is a wild game call mouthpiece of generally tubular form with a generally rectangular lip extending out from its cylindrical surface at its inlet end. The lip has lateral edges which transition into the tubular body near the inlet opening. In the central region of the lip, beginning from its distal end and continuing towards its proximal end, is a depression which extends generally midway to the lateral edges, and which becomes more pronounced near the inlet opening of the call. Then, past the zone where the lip transitions into the tubular body, is a curved, hollowed-out zone which creates the beginning of a resonating chamber which extends back through the center of the tubular body. An elastic plastic sleeve is inserted over the extended portion of the lip to create a resonating reed which can be activated by a sportsman blowing into the inlet of the call.
