Author Topic: Making an Elk Antler Cow Elk Call.... AZStickman Charter Member Member # 16 posted                        Here's a pictorial I put together showing a Cow Elk Call I made from Elk antler for my Elk hunt last September..... It worked out pretty good and passed the field test..... i.e it didn't scare any Elk and kept a couple around for a bit looking for a lost cow..... http://bowyersworkshop.com/gamecalls.htm You could play around with different reed designs and get a predator call without too much trouble...

Guess I'll have to make my first with deer antler, tho. Rick -------------------- Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

I've always favored the "open reed" type calls for all my varmit calling.Easier to vary the sounds and pitches. Curious as to were you get the reed material? -------------------- (Enny o yuns know ware thu heart o a stumpytail izz??)

Never thought about a cow call.

Timo.... I picked a sheet of Mylar up at Michaels... A local craft store...... I use it mainly to make some stencils for the Indian designs on the painted bows I do and noticed it looked a lot like the reeds in a commercial Elk call I had..... I thought I'd give it a try and darned if it didn't work....... Fletcher you could use anything for the body.... Any kind of antler , wood..... etc...... It was cool using it and packing a selfbow.....seemed fitting..... Terry -------------------- "The reward of a thing well done is to have done it."..

Cut it out and if its a little low pitched, use a sanding block to thin it down a little. Generally you don't have to sand and can modify your bite to get tone. An old credit card will also work for a reed. Posts: 476 | From: MONTANA | Registered: Apr 2003  |  IP: Logged |  Taran of Caer Dallben Member Member # 4448 posted                        Very nice! But how exactly do you blow it? Do you have your lips on the reed behind the rubber or do they not touch the reed at all? -------------------- "Those who trust in the Lord will soar on wings like eagles" Posts: 86 | From: Europe | Registered: Sep 2004  |  IP: Logged |  AZStickman Charter Member Member # 16 posted                        Taran....your top lip is on the reed in front of the rubber..... By changing the location of your lip and varying the pressure you can raise or lower the pitch of your sound..... Terry -------------------- "The reward of a thing well done is to have done it."..
