I've been using just a basic black plastic whistle that I got from Academy (I think). It works just fine but the problem is when I blow it the dang thing hurts my ears. And quite frankly, I'm tired of it. Any recommendations for one that won't? What have yall been using?

Gun dog supply...I use an oblong whistle which is not near as loud and is good for hunting and training, they got plenty to choose from

I like a orange pealess mega whistle called "The Answer". The pitch can be heard for miles and it will not hurt your ears as all the sound is projected forward through the mega. No pea to freeze up also. Very clear and sharp.

X2! When I'm competing I use a Green Monster but that's overkill for hunting.

^^^ this is what I use also.

X2 Green Monster good for competition and windy day. but overkill for hunting

X3 Green Monster. I use it only for training and competition.

I have 2 of the Fox 40's and I like'em...I just use mine for hunting though.

I've always used a plastic whistle, but for Father's Day, my daughter and son-in-law gave me a beautiful brass colored Acme Thunderer on an orange lanyard. I love it. It'll get lots of tootin' this coming season, and hopefully many more.

Got the same type "mega" whistle but knock off brand, and black for hunting.
