Lonny, what a coincidence.  I was just telling Jerry about Tweety and Thumper.  Just got them in the mail yesterday afternoon.  Man do they sound great. Your description was perfect.  Like a CritR-Call but takes very little air.  Anybody could blow either of these calls.  I got mine from Randy Anderson.  Was your call kind of, how should I put this, "rough".  I had to tear both mine apart and clean out plastic curly burrs that were obstructing the air channel slightly.  The bridges and mouthpieces were very rough.  Nothing a little smoothing with a file didn't cure.  I must say both calls sounded great right out of the box.  My filing was purely cosmetic.


Myself and a friend that had only got one coyote in his life, went calling last night.  I was doing the calling and running the light only.  These calls work! We had 4 coyotes come to one stand.  He managed to smoke one of them.  I had him hold the spotlight while I walked out to get the dog.  When I got 1/2 way, another coyote goes running over the hill.  I thought the one he shot was just wounded and had recovered, then ran over the hill.  I was surprised when my flashlight illuminated the dead coyote laying on the ground. Got many, many, distant responses to my howling with Thumper.  Called a big boar coon that was inside a farmhouse.  Sierra 55 gr HP met him halfway.  Called two more coons at another stand, They were were little smaller than the first so we let them go.


Anyhow, I really like those calls too.
