This and an Echo timber double reed are all I carry and use.

Kritter gitter wood duck call
Buck Gardner 6n1 whistle
Haydel DR-85

I have an original RNT single reed call in cocobolo that Butch hand turned for me in his shop adjacent to his house in 1987. A body of mine was heavily involved in contest calling at the time and he and Butch were friends. I was just a hanger on LOL but Butch was turning calls when we arrived and while they talked he handed me the one he was working on, told me to blow it, they had a good chuckle and he tuned it and gave me some pointers. I still have it on my lanyard and use it from time to time. Folks have told me I was a fool for having used it EVER but it was made to use, not to be kept as a heirloom. That call has called birds in every flyway in North America and worked on Birds in Germany, Italy and the Czech Republic. I like to think that Butch would be happy knowing that call was still being used.

Riceland's teal call, and my cracked, old Haydel's DR-85, plus Haydel's 6-in-1 whistle. Could get by with only the latter two if I had to.

Son in law hunts waterfowl a lot in Oklahoma, North Texas and Kansas, he has used a lot of calls but his favorites have become the DRC Harlot #7 duck call and DRC Short Drop goose call.

JJ Lares Hybrid with reed I cut. Only call I use.

I love the Hobo ICU 2 double reed, I have the prime meat single reed as well. I'm not sure I've found a call I like any better.

A cut Hard rubber PS Olt
A Larco (made by Joe Lares)
One of my CNC calls (Parish Waterfowl)
