Keith, many years ago when I first started running hounds, several of the fellows I hunted with carried horns of one kind or another to call in the hounds. I have seen them made from cow, buffalo, and goat horns. Some of the nicest and best sounding horns I have seen were goat horns. One fellow carried a conch shell. It was LOUD! Didn’t have a nice tone to it, but you sure could hear it.
