Hawk call
« on: November 09, 2010, 04:10:41 PM »
My buddy's father likes to go out watching for hawks so I thought maybe I would make him a hawk call. Never made one before and wanted to see where the best place is to get the guts and any advice?
Thanks

Oddly, the thing that has brought in the most hawks for me is using a squirrel call, taking the bellows off and blowing on it like a distress call. None of my other distress calls seem to bring in many hawks, but the squirrel call does very often. Just my  :2:

It's funny because as I was typing my post I thought that very same thing haha. Not really taking the bellow off but just using the squirrel call. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Ive made several hawk calls using the reed from Al here on the site. They are a snap to make, 1/2 inch bore and a bushing from Al as well. No blading etc. I can get them to talk back to me and hopefully soon they will warm up to me so I can get some pics of them. Im half scared to use one when I set up on the Osprey nests here in the spring!

I am not a call maker, but I play one on the internet
