bird distress hand call

[hammerless99]

I am still just starting out with pred. hunting and have a couple of hand calls but I would like to get recomondations on a good bird distress call. The only ones I find online are pilated woodpecker calls; will these work for bobcat/coon and 'yotes? Are there other types of bird distress calls?
thanks for any help.

Those are the bird sounds you want. I don't know about racoon, but woodpecker calls are good for Bobcat and Coyotes.

you should check out the sounds Ernie (buckwheat) makes with his calls, on his website.

Open reed calls make good Bird destress sounds. And the Ap-6 Bite calls makes awsome bird destress, along with alot of other good destress sounds. Also the JS PC-3 make good destress sounds. Both calls are easy to use and wont take you long to get the hang of.

Also a good Coaxer call with a sweaker voice makes good bird destress. Not a real loud call but will get the job done. There are several call makers that make good coaxer calls.

I agree with KeeKee, if I am trying to make bird sounds I use either of the two he mentioned. The Sceery AP-6 or the JS PC-3, just get out on the end of the bite pieces and clamp down on it and go quick and short, flutter if needed.

The AP-6 is probably my favorite call, it is so easy to use and varies the pitch through a large range of sounds.

The new Haydel's woodpecker call is a very good call also. Check out the link...

THanks for all the help; this gave me some good options to concider. I knew I could count on PM for help; thanks again.

Thanks again for the advise, I just ordered the AP-6. It seems like a good all round call. I still have a lot to learn, I'm starting out with an old OT-20 rabbit distress call and wanted a little variaty; I think the AP-6 will be good second call.

The best bird distress calls I found are the Verminator Tweety and Syco Tweety. I use these exclusively. For the beginner they are great since they are so easy to blow.

Gotta agree with Tweety being a great bird-distress caller.

You have mail!

I like to use the Sceery AP-7 call and "thrill" your tongue to get the quick, vibrating sound. You can do it on just about any open reed call, but I like the pitch control I have with the AP-7. I also like the Tweety, and for a different sound I like the Mini-Blaster by Burnham Bros. You can bite down on it and get a really high pitched sound and make it sound pretty wild. I like it alot, too.

Take care and God Bless,

Rusty

The AP-6 is by far my favorite handcall!
