That is the best remedy Iowachip,but unfortunately due to spring time allergies certain pollens itch my throat, and I can't help but cough at times.Nothing's more fustrating then calling a tom and having to cough.I tried everthing,coughing into your jackets shoulder area is just as effective as that stupid cough siliencer.Thank God, I don't get them coughing spells in the fall when bowhunting.
