Just ordered a Echo Diamondwood Timber call and I’m hoping it pans out better than the PH-2 :pee:

If you got the timber double reed that is a very good call. If you're on the X a lot of time you don't need to call.

X 2.    JJ Lares are a great call. Hybrid or T-1 you can't go wrong.

I personally like Pacific calls. ITF single reed and the Hive are both nice calls imo

The Echo calls are an easy to use call with great sound.  Let us know how it works out for you!  I have one on my lanyard!

Give a Haydels DR85 a try, been using one for almost 20 yrs.  I believe the Timber Cutter is the same call in a different shaped barrel if they still make it.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.

For cheap and easy to blow I second the primos  wench. I lost mine last year and bought another today. It my go to backup call. For nice and expensive I have a JJ Lairs single reed. I havent quite got the single reed down, mostly due to lack of practice. I think id just stick to doubles if your just hunting.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I would say that the Primos Wench has probably killed more ducks than any call on the market. They are cheap, ugly, and are not going to win any calling competitions but they kill ducks. They take lots of air to blow and would never stand up in competition calling. That said I still have one that I keep in my blind bag as a back up. which says a lot because I have no shortage of acrylics calls to choose from. For a "Meat Call" they are fantastic. I have used them with great success and even talked a few passer by birds in when my expensive calls would not.

IMO calls are overrated. I have killed ducks with a $1 call and an $80 call and I have also killed lots of birds without using calls at all. 

I would invest in nice decoys over buying an expensive call. Go with whats cheap and sounds good to you.

Getting birds to decoy has 3 main parts. Location presentation and concealment.  More weighted on location. Even a good call isnt anygood if you dont know how/when to use it. But being on the X of where they want to go will.
