BASS Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Hello guys (gals?) I'm the new guy around here. I'm planning on going out to 22 on the 30th of December to get a couple days of scouting before hunting the 1st and 2nd for another deer. Anyways on to my first post... *If this has been covered please excuse my noobieness I was looking at my can (that call) this morning and noticed that there isn't a way to make it hands free. So I was off to a few stores to get some ideas. But I ended up at Radio Shack instead. There I found my idea waiting. I bought a cell phone "holster" and left. The one I bought was a Motorola one that allowed the phone to swing freely. I took it home and got the dremel tool out. I then cut the little round nub that is usually on the phone to fit the can itself. I JB welded the nub to the outside of the can, and let it dry. I also put enough JB weld over the hole on the bottom. Now if you need to get one more bleat in there while you have your bow up, all you have to do is rotate the can as it hangs on your hip, or pack. If you need to shoot, let go of it, and it will continue to call as it finishes it's rotation on the clip! It won't make noise as your walking around because the clip allows it to swing freely, and will only make noise if it is spun all the way around, in which case you will also be spining around Please tell me what you think of this...

az4life Report post Posted December 27, 2004 Sounds interesting, and welcome to the board. In this case, a Picture would be worth a thousand or more words, so maybe we could coaxx you into sharing a visual on the modification. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HA HA HA!!!! And now you guys want to see a picture of his can? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah, I kinda thought it was a wierd idea too, carrying your can on your hip. I usually just carry some toilet paper in my pack. hee hee. Plus I'm not worried about covering up my "bleats" while I'm out there. I would say it sounds more like a buck grunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BASS Report post Posted December 30, 2004 Oh well I guess I walked right into that one didn't I? P.S. still fighting with this dang camera to get some pics up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rembrant Report post Posted January 2, 2005 BASS, You oughta check out your design patent options before public disclosure. Sometimes neat little ideas can change a person's lifestyle! I think it's a great idea - thanks for sharing, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manamal Report post Posted January 4, 2005 I agree with Rembrant, a few years ago I had an idea and didn't patent it in time and someone else is profiting, not me. It just takes one good idea to make a ton of money. Think of all of the eastern hunters that might buy the "Can Clip". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
