Dennis Kirk Cassette Tapes
Thu, 06/14/2012 - 2:16pm — GZ
I reviewed 41 Dennis Kirk cassette tapes looking for something good. Someone might try DKP-122B, the same yodeling rabbit in #112, but with a few coyote barks thrown in. You might try a couple of the fox pups. I can't honestly recommend anything out of this set when it's compared to the others. Check the length of the loops. Many of the tapes were 30 minutes of a 20 second loop played over and over and over and over. I'd like the loops to be at least a minute, so they can be played without driving the hunters bat shit crazy.
