The trick is to come up with a way to attach the mouth piece to where it won't break off being carried around in a hunting vest.

Larry, who is the last calls maker, the Pete EZ Owl Hooter?

Marvin that is made by Pete Pulley from Missouri he is still making calls he is in his 80's and makes some really cool stuff. I have at least 50 different calls of Petes each is unique in its own way. I have another owl call from Pete that has a turkey call built into it also.

Turkey season has ended here (for the most part anyways) so I am back in the shop.  I am building everything new from scratch.  I am gluing up a rough draft of one of the Pete's type calls.  I want to try it out and hear it before I get all fancy schmancy.  Thanks for posting this as it is a fun project.
