Dog horn

Post by spazhogdog » Mon Jun 29, 2015 6:51 am

I am interested in learning about the cow horns for dog hunting. I would like to get one or make one, I have some horns but I understand the length of the horn depends on the sound. Which sound carries the furthest. Has anyone ever used one or made one

I have one. My dad told me that my granddaddy made it to call his bird dogs back. As a kid we ran bulldogs. Dad could blow it and they would be at our feet in 5 minutes. I cannot blow it. I have tried and cannot do it

I've heard my wife's grandpa talk about using them back 20 years ago. I think the idea fell by the way side once shock collars got popular.

They don't like it, like a little kid not wanting to get in trouble. I actually had a older man from la. give me one under the condition I learn to use it. So this weekend I have made all sort of weird noises. Lol but will master it. My other half does pretty good with it so we are teaching them the sound.

It looks to be horn. Many old horns are carved down at the neck like that or with similar shapes.
