Duck Call
 

I'm new to duck hunting. Whats a good quality duck call for a beginner??

Thanks

I'll start. Probably at least a hundred different choices. I like to keep it simple with a Haydel DR-85. Cheap. Easy to blow for a starter, and the occasional chunk of Levi Garrett doesn't affect the sound.

Its all personal preference man. Some people like duck commander, some like riceland, some like RNT.

I prefer Faulk's and Haydel, but that's me. Best I can suggest is go and try a few. If you don't want to get too deep into it, try Haydel, Faulk's, DC, or whatever you feel comfortable spending on. I've always been a fan of Haydel and Faulk's because their calls sound great and they don't cost you an arm and a leg.

I'd probably go with a single reed first. Faulk's has a good CD to listen to if you don't know how to call or if you don't have anyone to teach you. DC has some good videos as well. I think its The Art of Commanding Ducks 2.

Thanks for the input guys ill look into these.

Haydel's DR 85 or a Primos Wench. Both easy to blow and sound good, also double good as a teal call.

Start out on the lower end calls until you really know how to blow them then you can move up to the RNT and Riceland calls. The cheaper calls will kill just as many ducks as the expensive ones.

Wench is probably easier to blow of the two.

Primos wench. Bounce it

There's one thing no one has mentioned...you don't have to blow your call the whole time you are in the blind....sometimes knowing when not to call will bring in the ducks just as good as the best calling.

Duck Calls
 

DR 85 is a great call; very forgiving and easy to blow. You can also control the pitch and raspiness after some practice to sound more realistic.

The Primo's Winch is the great as well, I would buy both if I were you.

Stay away from the pretty custom calls or any duck calls over $40.00.

Hahahahahahaahhaahahaha! Never fails! That's a classic

I should make another one with the new call I just got In. Redleg LT-1, sounds pretty ducky for a single reed.


"Go ahead, share your opinion! I won't cry"

All bs aside I'd like to see how it sounds gizzle

I'd like to hear it, was debating on the LT-1 or LT-2. Post it up B

I don't know what u waitin on. Could be another instant classic.

LT-1 if you like single reeds. Loud and can get quiet as well. I have it on a sound clip already can you post those?

Still waiting Gizzle

REDLEEEGGGGGG, no shame in Gizzles game. Bounce it!

Double Reed VS Single Reed Calls
 

I like a call that's raspy, soft and easliy manipulated.

You may persuade some birds to swing back around with a little hail call but from my experience these birds that "Come Back" are not that far away.

These are a couple reasons I blow double reed calls and hate every Arkansas style call I have blown.

What do y'all prefer?

I don't see nothin wrong with it. I'm no expert though, just a guy.

I hear you don't even need calls if your decoys are positioned right - J Hook son!

I like a straight up ten second 1 note hail call right off the bat...

Awesome!!!

Only on ring necks

Haydel VTM-90 is a good call as well. Basically same thing as the DR-85 but it's black and has a hole drilled such as the Primos Wench to get a variable tone.

They love that in your area too ?!??! WOW! I thought it was only where I hunt lol
