Turkey mouth calls

[Djfan]

I picked up a few mouth turkey calls at a place closing it's doors, for 70% off. I tried them and they tickled the heck out of the roof of my mouth. I tried moving it, adjusting it, etc. What's the trick here?

Thanks

Welcome to the club. Try moving it further back in your palate.

I’m sure that’s why they make calls with the dome, my only other suggestion would be a little tighter pressure.. some calls just work better than others for every person

Sometimes the tape can be a bit stiff. Once it gets broken in they can be a bit more comfortable. Try softening the edges.

Also, my mouth prefers some brands/models over others. Good luck.

Has anyone tried the Woodhaven Pure Turkey 3 Pack? I've been using a Woodhaven Red Wasp for the past two years and have had a ton of success with it, but I'm thinking about getting the 3 pack to be able to do a little more, like kee kee run and fly down cackle.

I use a red wasp lately since it’s the only one that held up all last season. That says something in itself to me. I will say it’s way stiffer and a little harder to blow than some other mouth calls. It does make really good yelps and purrs and even gobbles but I feel like it’s hard to get a crisp yet soft yelp. It can be a loud and effective call in big woods. If you try the other products in the 3 pack, let me know what you think!!
