Thank you, Rick, I'm so pleased you like it (bucksnort and 4runnr too). Just cup your two hands around the bell end - this allows you to controll the volume and distance by cupping and uncupping one hand. It also allows you to hold the mouthpiece in your lips (I hold it on one side of my mouth). Then you suck/puff on it as if you were trying to light a pipe and it will produce yelps. The more you practice, the better you will get. BTW I really like the pics - especially the first one. Enjoy and I hope you call in a big un'with it.

You are now blessed Rick with a top quality call, I know because I too have one of Bernie's wingbone calls, mine was with me on an awful lot of hunts this year.

Way to go Bernie, nice job.

Thank you, Killie and David, special praise indeed. It means a lot to me - not the "praise" itself, but what I know are the true feelings behind it   :)  .
