Apparatus for imitating grunting, snorting, bleating and other deer sounds

Abstract

A deer call with a mouthpiece having an air flow channel centrally extending lengthwise with an attached reed overlying the air flow channel, the mouthpiece having a number of mouth insertion depth indicators on the mouthpiece, the deer call void of any mechanical mechanism to vary the length of the reed when air is passed thereover.

1 . A deer call comprising:
 an elongate resonator having a proximal end;   a substantially cylindrical open barrel portion having a distal end inserted into the proximal end of said resonator and an open proximal end;   a mouthpiece having an air flow channel centrally extending lengthwise with an attached reed overlying the air flow channel, the mouthpiece having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end inserted into the proximal end of the barrel portion; and,   a number of mouth insertion depth indicators on the mouthpiece, whereby air passing over the reed causes vibrations that simulate deer sounds.   
   
   
       2 . The deer call of  claim 1  wherein the mouth insertion depth indicators comprise shallow groves or small ridges formed in the bottom of the proximal end of mouthpiece. 
   
   
       3 . The deer call of  claim 1  further comprising a number of small raised ridges formed in the top of the proximal end of mouthpiece. 
   
   
       4 . The deer call of  claim 1  wherein the mouthpiece is formed with a white colorant. 
   
   
       5 . The deer call of  claim 1  wherein the reed has a thickness on the order of one-sixteenth of an inch. 
   
   
       6 . The deer call of  claim 1  wherein the resonator is extendable and retractable. 
   
   
       7 . The deer call of  claim 1  further comprising a user operable light source attached thereto. 
   
   
       8 . The deer call of  claim 1  being void of any mechanical mechanism to vary the length of the reed when air is passed thereover.
