Those of you who are using my howler or the Power Howler write down this number, 1-800-876-6866. This is the manufacturer of Evolution One latex gloves. I howl with my howler every day with Tyler and our dogs and with the coyotes across the canal and on every stand on every weekend. I use up 4 or 5 bands every week. Today I replaced the first band I made from the Evolution One glove after 6 weeks of hard use.I damaged it with my protective cap otherwise it would still be going strong. It has a full range of pitch with no jumps or flat spots. This is a huge improvement. Call the number and the nice man will tell you the location of your nearest dealer.

Sorry. I don't have a part #, I just order the Evolution One in Large size and use parts of the ring, middle and index fingers. Light years ahead of the factory band.

Are you having better luck slicing the bands, or are you guilotining them on a plastic cutting board? Single edge razor blade? I've thought of tapping the back side with a small mallot.
Good hunting. LB

Leonard,
What 've found to work well is to lay the glove on a sheet of cardboard, cover it and hold it down securely with a steel ruler, then roll a scalpal blade along the edge of the ruler. The blades I'm using are a #24 with a slight curve to them and with just a little pressure, the blade will make a nice straight cut. Any time I've tried scissors, I get a rough edge or it's not straight with the sides.
Rich, I called them after one of our last phone conversations and the nice guy sent me the wrong ones. The ones I got are blue and have a stippled texture on the finger tips. The wife's using them for working her flower beds. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Catskin, I use the gloves in the first link. Leonard, I use the same technique as Lance, I place the glove on cardboard, a straight edge over it and draw a #25 scalpel alongside it. Jim Adriance tells me he uses his wifes fabric cutter. It's a rotary cutter like a pizza cutter and it cuts cleanly and pressure seals the edges just like the factory bands. Walmart has them for 10 bucks.

I just tried this last Friday. I had my Dentist give me a wide assortment of gloves. Gut two bands from the middle finger of a medium thick glove.
Placed both bands on the howler. One on top of the other. Got the absolute best sound yet.
After each hunt. Pour a little Scope mouth wash on the bands. This will keep them pliable, And bacteria free.
Plus Scope contains 18% alcohol. Wont take long to hit some real neat notes.

Yep that will do it Leonard, but take your fingers out of the glove first.

Sorry Seldom, my E-mail has been down for some time now. I'm finishing the last of my howlers and will not be selling anymore. I recommend the E.L.K. Power Howler, I use their mouthpiece for mine.

Are you having a "Going Out Of Business" or "Lost Our Lease" Sale??? Guess I'll be selling my rubber glove stock now.

Understanding the coyote is not as important as knowing where they are.
I usually let the fur prime up before I leave 'em lay.

You have obviously not seen a slydog howler either,not only does it howl,it can be used to signal emergency airplanes, it has a built in ammo pouch,it doubles as a dowsing rod, with the flick of a button it turns into a mini AR15,caliber of your choice...I could go on,but you're already outclassed....

SE, The ELK howler will be fine....but it sure ain't a Higgins Howler! You haven't seen anything like it.
Good hunting. LB

Blasphemy indeed, darn Seldom Ever, just when we was going to cut you some slack you had to say something like that that about Higgins Howler!!! :>), They are true work of art and I am going to be the proud owner of one as Rich just finished mine. I've had ugly guns that shot well, BUT I just love a pretty one for the sake of looking at it! Of course just like the Higgins Howler- if they shoot good that all the better.
Keep posting, you know I'm picking on you, at least your not a Yankee are you?

Just had to add on, ever time I see a latex glove, I have an overpowering urge to bend over.

It can't be any better looking than my slydog cowhorn howler,which has the same howler in the end of it as the Higgins howler.Mine is beautiful,wish I had a pic to post.
Don't bend over Rich,nobody wants to see that,and at your age you probably couldn't get back up!!

See, that's just it, SE. Functionally, the Slydog Howler has to be much like the Higgins Howler. But, I don't know that it comes with the original artwork, inlayed in chromium cobalt? First one I've seen.....has to be an advantage, right?
Good hunting. LB
