Duck calls and speck calls are two different things. If it ain't sounding right, bring it in. They will adjust and file and whetever else is needed. When I went to get both my Ricelands, James tuned them for the way I blow a call. When I got my Redbone, it came tuned for the way Nathan blows and sent a DVD telling you how to learn the way he blows. Don't get me wrong, he can blow a speck call with the best and build them, but I just like the way James runs his business a lot better. Ask anyone who has dealt with James, he is a top notch guy

I would go with the Riceland for sure. I recently moved to Lake Charles in January and wanted to purchase and acrylic goose call. I sat with James and blew 20+ calls before deciding on the one that sounded best for me. James has an open door policy and will sit with you and help you learn to blow that call.

I emailed Redbone about a call before I decided on a Riceland and it took over 1.5 months to get a response. I called James and that day I was at his house picking out my call.

With all things being equal, people standing behind their product with great customer service, I choose Riceland.

I have been blowing James's calls ever since him and Nathan went seperate ways years ago... Redbone and Riceland are obviously very similar, but I have yet to find a call that is of better sound or quality than Riceland.. Yes you can kill specks with a lot of different calls but, you are not going to get the range of sounds with such ease in any other call than a Riceland. My vote goes to James and Bill for RCC..

now duck calls my favorite is still the dr85, but the bluewing teal calls i buy one every year, cause the guts just fall out of them. Their speck calls take alot of air and don't sound near as good imo.

Agreed. And I'm not sure how much a Riceland cost but I highly doubt its over 200, if they are even 200. And thats for the top of the line call. The poly sounds real good and is real cheap. But how hard is it to save 200 dollars from february to november?

I have had the same dr85 for close to 20 years, I took out the end and stuck it in an Olt barrel, because the DR barrel is a little too skinny. still going strong, and sounds great

I am not trying to get in an argument over anything duck related cuz people get butthurt so quick, and its August

that's what we're talking about! You're the one that said i was smoking to pay $200 for a goose call, and you just expect for me to keep my mouth shut you don't know me and that's not going to happen. It's my choice if i want to pay whatever for my equipment, and you have the right to your own opinion, but it's still my choice. I don't even denie that i spend alot of my hard earned money to duck hunt every year and if i don't kill a bird all year the next year i will do the same, cause there's more to it than killing a limit.

That's a huge leap to say they sound better so justifiably should be more expensive. Call makers can get top dollar because that's what the market, ie; duck hunters will purchase. Calls don't sound a bit different now than 25 years ago. TV has created the gotta have it mentality in All of Us and that's why they charge a hundred times what it cost to manufacture. 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.
