Im going to try out the "who's your daddy" signature series call this year. I have the other one (plastic) and it doesnt sound the same (to me) as the wood one. Im also going to try out the Mellow yellow as well.

For years I have preferred the little black bite and blow Jones cow call. It is easy to carry and retreive like a small neckless. I have heard some negative comments on how it sounds, but it works. If I am out calling and want a cow sound I prefer a single or double reed diaphram.

Go To Cow Call

Postby iRem » 06 22, 2012 •  [Post 4]

I have many cow calls that I have used but rarely use them now, but to date my go to is Mellow Yellow! Just a few months ago I purchased my newest call from Jason Phelps! I really like the tones that comes out of the call! As I continue to practice with all of my cow calls I just can't can't make the same tones that I get from Phelps Game Calls,which is not a problem since I'm a big believer in make different tones with different calls!!

I like to use Sceery(Ace 1 - 3). My experience is that the soft rubbery exhaust port helps resonates sound better. I keep hearing good things about the call from Mr. Phelps so I might just have to buy one.

I like the Hiper Lip Single and the Lead Cow and Calf call. Both calls are made by Primos. It is best to carry two Hiper Lip Single calls because it does appear that saliva does affect them easier than some calls but I have had good success with them. Good Luck, Mike

Berry X5 diaphram with a Carlton Bull Hooker to mix up the sounds a bit.

My go to is a mouth reed I like the All Star and the closer by bugling bull game calls for all sounds, I also carry a couple other cow callsfor imitating a group of Elk one being the Primos Lead Cow and Calf and I like the sound it has as well.

Green tormenter, yellow mama, primos estrous reed, smallest sceery call for up close and to mix up sounds when doing a set up. Have tied many other mouth calls, but the only ones that I have tried so far that work almost every call is the green tormenter and yellow. Good luck to all.

Primos hyperlip single, Carltons estrus whine both have plastic bells on end that give them a mouthy / nasal cavity tone. I'm always buying calls! I could fill a back pack with all of them!

For me, I use a mouth reed for 95% of all cow sounds, well for bull sounds too! I do like the great tone of the Temptress cow call & am interested to hear the new ones by Jason! But for most it's the Closer reed, Raging Bull is 2nd choice, these two are very good with great results!

90% mouth reed (mellow Yellow) 10% external (Temptress). I did purchase the closer last week and have been practicing with that as well.

My favorite is one from carlton, not sure what one it is. I have had it so long the sticker and all the writing is gone. maybe someone else knows what it is? 2 1/5 inch long call has an adjustable green sheep band on it.
I'm hoping to change that and go to a mouth reed this year. tho I will still have it in my pocket

At the time to draw I have the re Ed in my mouth. But the go to call is the seercy A1.
It is almost foolproof, so a guy like me can use it.

Im a fan of the Temptress for an external call. My choice reeds being the bright yellow Berry diaphragm and the All Star. I have the Closer coming soon next week so I'm looking forward to playing with that one..

Sceery Ace, is my "Go to", but I like the Jones "bite and blow" for calf sounds.
I carry a pocket full, but seem to use my Sceery, or a diaphragm and get the most responses.
