Call for coons

[birddog1]

I have a re quest for a coon call is there such a thing , the client said it is more for calling back the dogs, oh forgot in pink

A coon squaller gets the coons to stick their heads up too.

What you want to do, is take the reed setup Al sells for the squirrel calls, and blade it heavy like you want to do for a squirrel call. Make it a blow type call with a lanyard, and use a rubber bushing with a half inch hole, because coon hubters are hard on equipment. Its a tough sport.

Make your barrel somewhere between 2 1/2" and 3" long, and make the end fit the hand well, so you can use back pressure on it easily for different tones.

This is a VERY easy caller to make.

I think Hut also sells the kit to make one from or they used to.

You would just need to make the barrel.

The HUT reed works well.  I have made an sold a couple dozen over the past couple years.

I had a 14 year old girl pick one up at a show I did in Wilmington, and played it like Louis Armstrong playing a trumpet.   Her dad said she was a Junior Champion Coon Hunter.  LOL

I turn mine with a 3/4 bore in the barrel, and a 1/2 bore in the stopper.  I usually make them out of light colored wood in case it is dropped in the woods at night.

No tuning on the HUT kit?  What reed are they selling as the kit?

I do not know what kit Hut sells but it works well. I had made several also and sold them to some coon hunters and they liked them. One told me that he brought a coon down the tree and into the dogs with one of them.

I think mine were bored 1/2 all way through.

Thanks Ben.  I may have to suck it up and get one and see what it is.
