Has your set up on your lanyard broke the bank????
« on: November 13, 2009, 03:50:38 PM »
I have collected calls for as long as I can remeber.  What I do remember is that calls used to be affordable.  I have somehow convinced myself that paying these large sums of money for calls is going to get me a better call.  That is still to be determined.  What I do know is that I have way to much coin invested into the calls hanging on my lanyard.  Has anyone else fallen into the same boat?  6 calls and well over $500 invested.

I've been looking into the more expensive calls, but have yet to plunge in and buy one

none of my calls are over about $20-30. My fav goose call is a $15-20 flute I've been using for over a decade.

I buy the calls and shoot the ducks with bands, so those are free.  It sounds like you spent a lot of money to purchase them.   :chuckle:

yeah, my feedback on ebay is outstanding.  Sometimes you can find guys who don't know what they're doing and buy 5 or more at a time for a cheap price!

I value my bands at around $50 each for insurance purposes.  at last count there were 44 on there.  Have to admit, there is one on there I didn't shoot.  Found a band on a drake mallard along Hwy 12 in burbank about 12 years ago.

Have probably $400 of calls on my manyard,  Foiles is the most expensive,  goose and duck... still like my cheapest one the best.  It is a Duck Commander Ole Raspy...... and the Commander In Chief duck commander ain't too shabby.
