Bob D ,
I am very surprized at how authentic these molded buffalo howlers are. They look like buffalo horn, feel like buffalo horn and even sound like buffalo horn.  I hope that my chosen molded call maker gets caught up soon. I have molded antler calls and molded killer calls coming, but boy they sure are slow getting here.

Rich, 
Let me know when the killer calls are in.  I own three molded buff horns, they are amazing, perfect pitch, ear shattering "Cronk" howl, probably indestructable.  Welcome Rich, good call makers here and excellent fur handling advice.

Kee,
I have been so dang busy that when I took off and headed to K.F.C.'s Buffet for lunch today, I met myself coming back. Dang that is hard on an old fart like me. Been working on a cusom howler for Wiley E's calling pardoner. Dang thing don't want to smooth out on high pitched end of sound spectrum.  A long distance phone call woke me from my afternoon nap today, and now I gotta make a special set of calls for a Fathers day present. No rest for the weary old farts I guess.  :confused:

Those molded howlers sound the same as the old, regular type, authentic cow horn howlers? I bought one from you four or five........maybe six years ago. Dang my mind is going....... :rolleye:

Either way, It's a pleasure having you on the site Mr. Rich Cronk himself.......... :congrats: :wink:

Rich: so good to have ya here! :highclap:

Ol' Zip is in my hunting vest pocket ready for action.  Can't hang him around my neck as he tends to boss the other calls on my lanyard around. :laf:  Yeah, thank God for the reed cover as He knows it needs it! :iroll: :laf:  Brilliant!

Bopeye,
Those molded howlers actually DO sound just like a real buffalo horn howler, and it is hard to tell by looking at one that it isn't really buffalo.  These don't have a reed protector though. Mouthpiece is carved directly into the howler.  A groove  for reed retainer band was ground into the original with a dremel. All I do when the molded howler comes in, is cut a reed for it, install the red and fine tune the tone board with a file. One piece, seamless howler that is real handy  to pack around all day.
