I wanted to thank all you guys for the homemade E-caller. Made one just like you said. I used a cd player for mine and along with the r.s. parts, I made a spool/reel with 100ft. of light speaker wire.
Downloaded Goldwave, recorded my own sounds with a cheap computer microphone using lip squeaks(which I learned here also) and a raspy coaxer.
The first time I tried it, (without the 100ft. extension) the woods lit up right over my head!crows, bluejays, ravens flocked over. I heard
noises in the woods getting closer and then two
eagles landed 15ft. above me. I thought for a moment "If I play this call one more time, I'm gonna get mauld" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif Whatever was on the ground close by, I never seen. There is'nt many
open areas on the island, So I made up the 100ft.
extension. Well anyway, thanks. Will keep you guys posted.
