Abstract
Abstract A combination animal or fowl call device is disclosed, wherein a pair of conventional call barrels, each with associated trough elements and reeds, are mounted in either end of a common throat element. The throat element has a plurality of apertures connecting the inner sound chamber thereof with the atmosphere. Suitably, one throat element and associated reed produces the sound of a duck, whereas the other throat element and associated reed produces the sound of a goose. As the pitch of the call may be changed by closing one or more apertures (as long as at least one aperture is left open), a single call can produce the sounds of, e.g. both a Black Duck and a Mallard and a Snow-and-Blue Goose and a Canadian Goose. Thus, it is possible using the call device of the present invention to produce the sounds of numerous animals or fowl from a single such device.
