Claims17
A photographically patterned camouflage scent-free game call comprising:
- a game call reed insert;
- a game call reed cover, which is matched with said game call reed insert, so that when said game call reed insert is inserted into said game call reed cover, and air is blown through said game call reed cover, a sound is made which emulates a sound made by an animal;
- said game call reed cover further comprising:
- an inner tube, wherein said inner tube has an inner cylindrical surface and an outer cylindrical surface;
- said inner cylindrical surface being sized and configured to receive and to retain, with friction therein, a portion of said game call reed insert;
- a first predetermined patterned image disposed on said outer cylindrical surface of said inner tube;
- an outer transparent member;
- said outer transparent member having a cylindrical inner surface which is sized and configured to receive therein said first predetermined patterned image and a portion of said inner tube;
- said outer transparent member having a contoured outer surface, having a differential thickness characteristic, through which said first predetermined patterned image can be seen;
- a game call mouthpiece disposed over said outer transparent member;
- an outlet end cap detachably disposed over an end of said outer transparent member opposing said game call mouthpiece;
- and
- wherein said inner tube is a removable flanged sleeve insert which is accessed by removing said outlet end cap.

- disposing a first predetermined patterned image around said outer cylindrical surface;
- disposing a transparent cover with a cylindrical inner cover surface over said first predetermined patterned image;
- and
- wherein said step of disposing a transparent cover is accomplished by inserting into an end of the transparent cover, said inner tube, having said first predetermined patterned image disposed thereon.
