duck and goose calls

[General Disarray]

G.D. - dont you just wish we could get into an area around some of these clowns.      

Pretty sure we already do...

how late in the season was this hunt? but then again McNary doesn't get much hunting pressure and you really don't need a good call or decoys to be successful...

[Whitenuckles]

Gotta love McNary

#1 Jeff Foiles Migrators strait meat
#2 RNT Original
#3 Anything else your wasting your money..IMHO

Post like this make me laugh.

 Ive got Buck Gardner calls also... I just like the sound of the others better.    No need to get bent out of shape about it. When people ask me what my favorite cackler call is, I tell them the Little Hutchie. Im just stating my opinion!!

Not that you can't kill ducks with a cheap call that sounds like a 5 year old with a kazoo.. Its just easier to get them in close with a call that sounds like a duck.  

Boy I'd love to spend a morning in a blind next to you...

I'll bring the video camera so some of these guys will see the truth.

Sneaky..................it more the indian than the arrow my man.If you able to run a call the price should have very little to do with your success.
Trust me on this. General Dissaray hands guys thier ass on a daily basis in his area on a $15 call
I also would love to spend a morning in hearing distance of you and see what calls perform better.
At the end of the day we can compare piles of birds and price of calls

Love them cheap poly calls

[General Disarray]

Brad,
Bring that camera anytime, that would be fun!

[Sneaky]

Yeah, I guess I better run and get my flash drive to upload pics of limits... Good for you shooting ducks with a call that sounds fake, especially in places that are so easily accessible. 



higher-end, higher quality calls have made the difference for me, especially in the late season on public land that gets pounded literally every day it is open. This has been my experience.

You miss the point.
A acrylic call has only about $10 in material.The price is based on the call makers reputation and salesmanship.
A poly call has about $4 worth of material and is sold at a lower cost by the makers choice.
I own around 200 calls and have the option to hunt any of them.
I hunt acrylics,wood and poly calls on different days and for different locations.To think the price of a call or material its made from controls the quality of the sound.................pure BS.
Do you think Rod Haydel , Rick Dunn or John Stephens sound bad on a poly call............give me a break.

Its the operator not the call.I can blow a wood,poly and acrylic call for you(out of sight of course) and if you can guess the material of each call I run for you I will buy you the call of your choice.
If you cant, you buy me the call of my choice.......................DEAL?

Its not just the material, its the construction of the call. Its the fact that if the call gets wet, it doesn't cut out or change pitch. I have owned the haydels cheap calls, along with faulks, PS olts and yes, the primos timberwench. They have all failed in the field at some point or another. I happen to think that some of the higher end calls sound better than a cheap haydels.

I agree that there is a huge operator element to the equation, and a championship caller can sound decent on a cheap call. Thus, people can post pictures of mcnary limits shot with cheap calls. In MY opinion, the lares calls I have heard sound better than their competitors. I have seen a lot of ducks die because of them. It just so happens that they are expensive! I will pay the money to have what I deem to be a quality call. You don't have to, but I will. If I felt I could buy something of that quality for 19 dollars, believe me I would!

If you're going to drive all the way to eastern washington to hunt, like a lot of us wetsiders do, you might as well go with the best gear you can afford. Good camo, Good decoys, and Good calling are all important pieces of the puzzle behind good location. If spending a little extra is going to do it for me, then I'm going to do it because it's going to make the experience that much more fun and successful.

On every forum when the question is asked about what call to buy this always comes up!! So it should always have a two part answer..The high end call thats your favorite and the cheapy poly thats your favorite... For years and years I blew a Primos Yo Sista killed plenty of ducks.I think one of the better poly calls out is the Zink Power Hen..I would rather pay $200 for a Lares now then receive a truck full of free Buck Gardner,Haydels,Primos, Zink etc..For many reasons then just sound alone..For the guys with the $15 calls what are your high end favorites?

[Sneaky]

 Meats - You should post up three clips of poly, acrylic and wood just for fun! Can't promise you a duck call, but that would be fun to see how sharp peoples ears are..

[General Disarray]

Well it's a good thing I'm not trying to call Sneaky into my decoys!!! Dude must hear in perfect pitch and know that every duck sounds exactly the same! I'm sure I sound nothing like a duck, but you can tell that ducks that end up in my freezer in the next 3-1/2 months.

Sneaky, let me know when you head east and maybe I'll get a chance to be more convincing.  I don't need your approval to know that i'm pretty good at getting ducks(from opening day to the end of January) in close enough to kill.  Meats has never heard me blow a duck call, but he knows my success rates on hard hunted public ground.

Heck, I'd even invite you over for a hunt if you're willing... in the blind next to me.

I've been blowing cheap calls ever since I started duck hunting about 12 years ago. I can't even count the number of time's of turned ducks with a primos wench or a dr-85. I just last week bought an Echo Meat Hanger in poly. It sounds great, and I think it will allow me to make sounds I can't quite do with a wench or another cheap poly call. But, you can guarantee my wench, and my duck picker, and a dr-85 will always be on my lanyard along with a drake whistle of course. I always buy the best gear I can afford. Simms waders, g-loomis rods, quality reels, etc when it comes to fishing. I just this year bought my SX3 but my nova kills ducks just fine.
