Whistle game call apparatus and method

1. A game call, comprising:

a housing having a sound chamber disposed therein and a first air vent in fluid communication with the sound chamber, the sound chamber comprising an internal surface;

a generally tubular member disposed in the sound chamber;

a first ridge protruding from the sound chamber to space the tubular member from the internal surface;

wherein the housing comprises mating first and second halves;

wherein each of the first and second halves comprise a portion of the first ridge.

2. A game call, comprising:

a housing having a sound chamber disposed therein and a first air vent in fluid communication with the sound chamber, the sound chamber comprising an internal surface;

a generally tubular member disposed in the sound chamber;

a first ridge protruding from the sound chamber to space the tubular member from the internal surface;

wherein the housing is generally T-shaped and comprises a tubular cross-member portion of substantially constant diameter.

3. A game call according to claim 2 , further comprising a taper from opposing sides of the tubular cross-member portion to a mouthpiece portion of the housing.

4. A game call according to claim 2 , further comprising indentions and second and third air vents disposed in ends of the tubular cross-member portion.

5. A game call according to claim 2 , further comprising a second ridge separated from the first ridge to space the tubular member from the internal surface.

6. A whistle game call, comprising:

a first half having a first air vent hole;

a second half mated to the first half;

the first and second halves cooperating to define an interior air passageway and an internal sound chamber;

a generally tubular member disposed in the internal sound chamber, the sound chamber having an inside wall;

a plurality of rails formed on the inside wall of the sound chamber to space the tubular member from the inside wall of the sound chamber.

7. A whistle game call according to claim 6 wherein the first and second halves comprise corresponding holes defining a passage receptive of a filament.

8. A whistle game call according to claim 6 wherein the first and second halves comprise a major axis and a minor axis substantially perpendicular to one another, wherein a first air passageway is aligned with the major axis and in fluid communication with the sound chamber, and the sound chamber is aligned with the minor axis.

9. A whistle game call according to claim 6 wherein the first and second halves further comprise a tapered neck between the first air passageway and the sound chamber.

10. A whistle game call according to claim 6 wherein the first and second halves cooperate to define an external mouthpiece at the first air passageway, the external mouthpiece including a circumferential ridge.

11. A whistle game call according to claim 6 wherein the first half comprises an internal recess and the second half comprises an internal ridge, wherein the internal recess is matingly receptive of the internal ridge.

12. A whistle game call according to claim 6 wherein the internal recess and internal ridge are arranged substantially all the way along a perimeter of the internal air passageway and sound chamber.

13. A game call, comprising:

a housing having an open first end, a closed second end, and a cavity formed therebetween;

a first air vent disposed in the housing and in fluid communication with the open end and the cavity;

a free-floating tubular member disposed in the cavity;

a mouthpiece integrally formed with the housing at the open first end;

side-members integrally formed with the housing and having holes therein in fluid communication with the cavity;

cavity ridges in the cavity for spacing the tubular member from an interior surface of the cavity.

14. A method of making a game call whistle, comprising:

providing a first housing half comprising a ridge track and a first portion of an air passageway;

providing a second housing half comprising a recess receptive of the ridge track and a second portion of the air passageway;

inserting a tubular member between the first and second housing halves;

engaging the ridge track with the recess;

enclosing the air passageway between the first and second housing halves;

further comprising providing one or both of the first and second housing halves with a transverse cavity having a plurality of internal ridges to space the tubular member from an internal surface of the transverse cavity.
