Need to get a duck call. Looking for suggestions!

[whackemstackem]

I woke up this morning with all of my hunting gear packed and headed west for the duck opener.   Now that I have made the long drive I started to unpack all my gear and realized I forgot my duck calls on the coffee table hundreds of miles away.  My question is, what is a good middle of the road duck call that can be bought at almost any chain store?  Looking for a double reed wood or polycarbonate.  Thanks everyone and yes I have already scolded myself quite a bit as I always have made sure they were on my neck first thing after waking up.

DUCK CAMANDER!!!!!  There is no call on the market that brings em in like the Camander!!!!!

if you can find a quack head they seem to be a decent call for 40 bucks..

yah the duck commander calls have done me justice, only 30$ or so, but jases duck picker or the triple threat are good all around middle of the road calls. easy to find too. cabelas, sportco, sportsmans warehouse all have them.

  Duck Commander any day. They are not very expensive, $15-$25.
You can sometimes find 'em at Wallmart.
Primos calls are pretty good cheap calls.
Wallmart definately has those.

I have a large variety of calls. If you are looking for something easy to blow with good results, bot the Duck commander brand calls, and the DR-85!! You will find which ones you like the best. Dont spend to much money on a call until you really know what you are doing. Every call will blow and sound different, to a certain degree. The above mentioned calls are some of the easiest, yet best sounding calls on the market.

Thanks, that helps me out in the selection side to narrow it down to the ones I'll begin to choose from.  I still got my "go to" calls at home but need one for this weekend.  Off to the store!

I really like Haydel's Carbon Kwacker. It looks really cool, and makes a great sound,but it is like $40-45. The red leg is the same call just no carbon, and I think it is $30.

If I needed a stand in for $20 I would get the Zink PH-2

I agree.
I have lots of call but always come back to my DR-85. It just sounds really good to ducks.

if ya need to find a cheep call around 20 bucks...H&S Strut double reed "Bill Collector" its a good call, i lost mine a few years ago and haven't found a better call yet for the money...gonna pick up another one this year cause the reeds rarely ever stick.

i've got a nasty habit of buying calls whenever i see them on sale.  best sounding cheapies i've found are the duck commander(i picked up a "cut down" version) and the DR-85 and RL-99.

i've also had a RNT quackhead j-frame, which is more or less a cheap $20 version of the RNT original.  it was a good sounding call when practicing with it, but always seemed to lock up when i'd take it hunting.
