Akrylic isn't expensive, the cnc machine can be but I can setup a lathe in my garage with a bar feed and run 24 hrs a day producing calls. The Two RNT calls I own probably only cost at most $10 each to manufacture and sold for $150.00 (disclaimer; they were presents). Marketing is why leisure products are expensive not quality or space age technology.

Raymond it's pretty ignorant to say some calls don't sound better than others. I agree that no call costs 200 bucks to make, or even anywhere close to that. But to say a haydels or a primos or a chien caille sounds as good as a riceland is ridiculous. Watch the video or go listen to someone blow one. I know the other calls kill geese too, but do not sound anywhere near as good. As far as duck calls i agree the duck call prices are ridiculous

Remember, it's all about location, location, location. Maybe, I'll take a kids kazoo to Nodak and see how many of those ducks and geese I can get to commit in Sept. You are falling for the marketing when splitting hairs as fine as tones on calls.

I understand it's about location and i don't fall for the marketing of any of the duck call bs, but, no goose call sounds as good as a riceland, thats all i'm saying. I know other calls kill geese, but i want to personally see someone make another call sound as good. And 25 years ago hunting was much easier than today.

25 years ago - 3 wheelers, pirogues, old crusty flambeau decoys, haydels, olt, or duck commander


and it was 30 days of 3 ducks, the WMAs and NWRs didn't have gravel on the trails, you had to actually go thru mud and walk, some places were almost impossible to hunt, now you can take a surface drive and be there in 5 minutes
