Hoyt03 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 My can call has gone dead for some odd reason. When you turn it over it makes a noise for like 1/2 a sec then it just falls silently. I took it apart examined the entire and thing and could not figure out what went wrong. I left it outside over night in the garage in the cold for a few nights but that was it, it was fairly new and not abused. Anyone have a guess or similar situation?

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? The diagphram (sp) inside got cold and shrunk sometimes they come back but I have never had one come back sorry I would probably get another one.

Tominator Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? Blow some compressed air in it. Mine did that this past year, and all kinds of dust and seeds came flying out. After that, it worked fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WvBowhunterKE Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? I agree with Tominator, I have a friend who is a solid bowhunter..His can call had a problem for a little while until he blew it out.

buckee Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? I had a can call that fell apart after only one season. I forget which brand it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? Never had anything like that with the primos original can. The directions do say though not to shake it or let it get wet if I remember right. My kids have shaken the thing like crazy though and it still works ok.

No clue how this happened since it was down in my gun room with everything else all summer. My Primos Lil-Can is 3 years running. I did upgrade to the Primos Great Big Can and man its awesome IMHO.

Guest wildotter Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? I have had 3 primos can calls (2 for me and 1 for my wife) and the reason I've had 2 is because my first one started acting funny. All of a sudden, it just started adding a high pitched tone to the end of the bleat. Sounds really funny...kinda like the doe had to hickup at the end or something...kind of commical except when you're trying to call in a buck and it happens...now i just try to stop the call short, before it has a chance to hit that last note. Others are working great though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? i have had mine for about 3 years...no problems...but my cousin had one for not even a year and it messed up...i might have to see if he still has it to see if what tominator said to do will work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
double_drop Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break?

6sixpoint_nobrows Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? i dropped my small can in the tiolet on accident it was on the sink and i knocked something over and it fell in, it now only goes for like half the time and since its the small can thats not very long..lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? if you can't get it fixed, send primos an e-mail about it, they will probably send you a new one. My dad broke one of his turkey slate calls, after an e-mail we had a new call in the mailbox a few days later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallone Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Re: Anyone else ever have their CAN call break? You should still be able to use it. A little trick I learned a few years ago. Try blowing thru the small hole with your mouth you can control the sound better this way making longer or shorter bleats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What in the world were you trying to call in??? I've got a Primos can and have never had a problem with it. Probably had it for 3 or 4 years now. But, then I never tried flushing it down a toilet either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
