ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to game calls and even more particularly relates to game calls for producing owl hoots.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the past, designers of owl hooting game calls have endeavored to provide more realistic sounding calls. Some designers have attempted to produce an owl hooter call using a simple “reed-in-a-tube” design, much like a typical duck call.
While these calls may have cost advantages, they also have significant drawbacks.
The sound of an owl hooting is distinct from other common animal made noises. Owl hoots are often loud and any emulation of an owl hoot would need to be realistic at high volume levels. Prior art designs have often failed at simultaneously producing both high volume levels and high levels of realism and others have been very difficult to operate, especially by a novice call operator.
Consequently, there exists a need for improvement of owl hooting game calls.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an owl hooter game call having realistic tones at high volume levels.
It is a feature of the present invention to utilize a back pressure chamber inside the call.
It is an advantage of the present invention to provide a call which is easy to use.
It is another feature of the present invention to have the back pressure chamber have an interior diameter dimension which is larger than the interior diameter dimension of the tube portion of the call between the reed and the back pressure chamber.
It is another advantage of the present invention to produce more realistic sounding owl hoots.
The present invention is an owl hooter game call which is designed to satisfy the aforementioned needs, provide the previously stated objects, include the above-listed features and achieve the already articulated advantages. The present invention is carried out in an “expertise-less” manner in a sense that the high level of expertise which was often required by an operator of an owl hooter call has been greatly reduced.
Accordingly, the present invention is an owl hooter game call having a back pressure chamber therein with a centrally disposed air passage therethrough.
