I've been struggling to find a call that provides a good fawn distress. I've been using several open-reed calls and don't feel I have the sound right. Currently, my thoughts are to use a diaphram for this call....does anyone have any recommendation for a call that provides good fawn distress and is easy for a novice to operate?

The primos ki-yi is one call they got right. It is great for fawn distress.

Kurt, most open reed calls with larger reeds will do just fine. The Tally-Ho does a very good fawn distress and it's only 5 bucks. Someone willhave one for sale at the ATA Con. Saturday.

The Krusty Krier that I have makes Dyno- Mite fawn distress.
Closed reed calls geared toward a jack rabbit sound make good fawn distress, to my tin ear.
Edited to say: Sucking in on the bell end of a call helps make a "natural" sounding fawn distress, for me.

The Tally ho actually does make a good fawn distress. I find it pretty easy to make fawn distress crys on most open reed calls. I don't use the fawn distress hardly at all, because the jackrabbit distress sounds more better to me. That time out in Wyoming when the antelope Doe attacked me, I was blowing jackrabbit distress crys. ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Thanks for the advice! I dug out my Skeery AP-2 and sucked on the bell end....great sound! I'll dig out my Tally-Ho's (I've always had a tough time working the Tally-Ho...seems the flat soundboard isn't very forgiving)and give them a try too.

K. Griffin,
If you carefully bow the reed upward a little bit, you will have better luck. The reed tends to take a "set" after using it awhile. Before I learned the trick of bowing the reed upward, I used to simply turn the reed over now and then.

Hard to go wrong with a Crit-r-Call standard. Makes good distress sounds by itself. Some toy stores carry a tube noise maker called a 'Poof' by the Slinky folks that can be extended. When fitted to a Crit-r-Call it makes a decent howler. When extended to full lenght, it will do elk bugles.
.........And if Rich (Cronk) won't mention it, I will; his 'Antler Call makes a really decent range of sounds.

A small antler Cronk Call that I have does make veeeery realistic fawn bawls, as well.
Most any call will make a sound that appeals to your particular ear. You have to go w/ what the deer or predator find appealing or realistic. That's where calling in the off season comes in for me.
What you like and what they like may be two very different things. I know that is stating the obvious but...

Good point smithers. Have you ever looked at your fishing lures and thought, "Well, if I were a fish, I'd go for that one!" ?
