Bull elk calling device

Claim 1

A bull elk calling device comprising: a first and second rectangular, substantially coextensive, planar members; the first and second members being hingedly joined along corresponding longitudinal edges thereof, but with the first and second members being offset from one another thereby creating a lip portion of the first member extending beyond the second member at a first end of the device; the first and second members being bowed along their longitudinal axes thereof having a first bow at the first end of the device which is of small size which bow continues into a bow of larger size at a second end of the device opposite the first end; the first and second members being positioned opposing one another with their open concave sides facing one another to form a double-tapered cavity at the first end thereof sandwiched between the first and second members and extending in a direction transverse to their longitudinal axes; an endless elastic band is stretched around the first member transverse to the longitudinal axis of this member on the lip portion of the first member and is positioned at the entrance into the cavity formed between the first and second members to form a reed element; the first and second members further being constructed of resilient and flexible material such that when the two members are squeezed together, the size of the double-tapered cavity is substantially reduced beginning a the ends of the double-tapered cavity and working towards the center of the cavity and when pressure on the two members is released, the size of the double-tapered cavity is restored to its normal size.
