Title: Training a dog to come to a horn Post by: Jason Dunn on January 09, 2017, 07:24:34 pm Anyone here use a bull horn to call your dogs back? I remember my daddy blew one when he feed his beagles but would like to hear how others have done it and how effective it is.
Title: Re: Training a dog to come to a horn Post by: T-Bob Parker on January 09, 2017, 07:38:17 pm I try to never call my dogs back, but, when I absolutely have to I do use a horn I carved myself. I blow it around the house once a week or so mostly just to annoy my neighbors. ;D
When I do use it in the woods it works about the same as screaming and hollerin, not super well. They do understand what I want. How quickly they return depends on the situation Title: Re: Training a dog to come to a horn Post by: Jason Dunn on January 09, 2017, 07:52:39 pm Hollering is fruitless for me they just don't listen lol.

Title: Re: Training a dog to come to a horn Post by: c dunn on January 11, 2017, 06:30:17 am We blow the horn at feeding. It don't take much and they get used to it. My hunting buddies and I still hunt horseback a lot and we tote our horns in saddlebag. I still use the scrub cow horn my great grandpa used.

When you buy one and realize different horns have different ranges and tones, youll start collecting them. I just ordered 2 more today. Ive ben blowing at feeding time myself and will start trying it out in the woods as soon as this damn turnaround is over. Only 21 days of 7-12's left lol. Ill post pics of mine soon. I also have a blank I found on a west texas hunt from an Audad I need to start whittling on

Title: Re: Training a dog to come to a horn Post by: Swine-Stalker on January 17, 2017, 05:03:21 am Depends on the tone and travel you want out of one. Smaller bell higher pitch, shorter horn shorter travel. 14 is a common size and should be close to middle on tone and travel.
