[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2762249, member: 91783"] Windypants; diaphragm calls for elk and turkey calling work great. They just normally take more practice than a beginner needs to not get frustrated with them than some of the open reed calls. I used them for years as you can keep them in your mouth while shooting or just setting and do okay without using your hands as a sound chamber for barks and howls although that does enhance the sounds to use your hands and makes it more directional. They also tend to need replaced more often. With calls it's the same as with your favorite rifle you get comfortable with them and then it just feels right and easy for the individual so then that's what you should use. If you can make a turkey chirp you can make a bark, if you can make a bull elk bugle you can make a howl. The herbs howler isn't a bad howler it just takes some getting used to the horn, so I use most of those type of howlers without the horn. Even the red desert, and hotdog howlers I take the horns (sound chambers off of them) and use my hands for that as it tends to make them easier to use especially for people trying to first learn how to. I got to using open reed calls due to the abuses they were put through in my truck hot dry days of summer or cold dry days of winter plus I could drill a hole in them near the open end and put the loop of a lanyard through it and carry them keeping them handy.
