JBrowns post this week inspired me to offer a few tips as well, strictly for my new TOOzer brothers and sisters.

I appologize for the sound quality but you get the idea. If you guys find this useful I'd gladly make more.

 
Good stuff, Matt! I've used the dollar bill trick a time or two but the RainX is a new one for me... Definitely gonna give that one a try. Great calling too, BTW!!!

I am really glad. I figured this is really basic stuff and would be wasting band width on stuff everyone already knows. I love teaching and its cool to pass along the stuff folks have taught me. Been awhile since I've done a seminar, you are giving me the itch to do some seminars again.
 
Awesome Matt. Thanks for making that video. I bet the same could be done for yote, crow calls or any reed style call. Thanks again man..

I tell you what would be great... a goose calling demo. There is a lot of good instructionals for how to make certain calls on a short-reed, but not much out there talks about how and when to use said calls. I'm pretty decent with a short-reed since I've had several years of practice, but even still I am in the dark as to which calls to use as comeback calls and laydown calls, etc. When I'm goose hunting I pretty much just throw everything at them with not a whole lot of rhyme or reason... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Even though I can make most of the sounds a goose makes, not knowing 100% which ones and when to use them is hindering my success no doubt. I think a goose reading/calling demo would be a great addition to TOO.

This guys not a TOOzer but I've been watching his calling videos for a while now and seems to me at least, to be some great instructionals on goose calling from beginner to advanced...
