What kind of call is it??

 

cane creek barred owls. Well atleast I can practice my duck calling for fall.

 

It is the amount of air that you put through it. In my experiences you have to blow hard and if you hum when you exhale it works even better. Quick bursts of air. Or just get a primos hoot tube:wink:

 

Crow call is almost foolproof and most people find the owl call easy to master with you mouth/voice alone.. Who cooks for you, who cooks for you owwwwl.
Not sure about a reed call, maybe you need to blow from deep down rather than with your lips, kinda like a duck call.

 

you need to cup your hands around the end of the call and create a lot more backpressure then you're used to with an owl call. Any reed owl call will sound like a sick duck if you don't. Get your hands all the way around it, make a big cup like you're closing it off. Then blow, you'll learn how much to ease off with the backpressure your hands are creating until the right sound comes out.

If you want to do the barred owl laugh, then you'll have to almost clap your hand on and off the end to get the result.
