It is loud and obnoxious and I don't like to use it without hearing protection on, but it seems to work despite my lack of skill.

Seems like that round is fur-friendly. Seen Randy Anderson's 'yote call videos? He seems to've figured out their language. He collaborated with PRIMOS on calls.

Nice kill B.
