I have a Riceland Speck call that I love.

I have the good ole Haydel DR85 for mallards, its the easiest call to blow, and sounds good.

I havent duck hunted in two years I miss it tremendously

I have a RNT Mondo LTS and a Rockin R for mallards. I also have a echo meat hanger.

I have an old Wooden Faulks PW-70 that my dad gave me when I was a kid.

Vandetta speck call

I have 2 wooden Duck Commander calls that are over 25 years old that are easy to blow and have a really nice rasp to them.

As far as a whistle, I think it's a Haydel also from 20 something years ago.

I've probably had more luck calling in ducks with the whistle doing the mallard drake and pintail than with any other calls.

Used to be an ardent Faulk's supporter, and I still like Faulk's. But I was gifted a few Haydel calls for Christmas several years ago, and now that is pretty much all I use.

I think I have one Buck Gardner mallard call on my lanyard that I got with a DU membership, and one Faulk's teal call, but everything else is Haydel.

Echo DRT. Always liked Echo. More forgiving than RNT and sound is comparable.

Used to blow the heck out of a Haydel Redleg.

Haydel's and Duck Commander (I have some really old ones but also some new ones that are good) and a really nice homemade mallard hen call that a local guy made that is extremely easy to use. But Buck Gardner has good stuff too. RNT, as well but I never felt the need to pay too much money for calls when they're already so call shy by the time they get to La.

Echo sounds really good for mallards. Haydels game calls are affordable and not bad
