Duck Calls

Haydel dr85 was what i learned on.

It seems that both of you like the Haydel DR85. I will have to look into this one. I knew about the whistle, and have one already.

Whats the big difference in the wooden calls and the acrylic?

all depends on your preferences man every smoker i know blows a rich n tone bc they dont take much air...maybe you want a nicer call or a cheaper call....i say for the money a duck commander is the best but i have blown RNTs and they are very nice just a little pricey for my taste. really if your good with a whistle and can call at the right times its no problem. the primos whistle with the roller is pretty sweet its just tough to make it not roll

is you get a speck call youre wasting your money if you dont buy a chencaille

i never tried that kind i dont think but i know its head and shoulders over the ones that i have tried

the DR85 is a great call.

Calling is just like going to a bar. Some nights making a scene works, sometimes sitting quiet at the bar works. You just have to learn to mix it up.

Just like whores, you can usually tell a duck that wants to come in to your spread real quick when you hit the call. If they like it and respond, keep doing what got em to commit till you shoot.

If they dont respond do something different, shutting up is effective, also mix up your spread'
5 dekes when everyone else has 500, 80 when everyone else is plopping out the same 24 also works.

the duck picker is pretty solid and forgiving. i personally prefer a RNT daisy cutter to reach those way out there ducks and a Echo Timber for in-close work...but at the end of the day whatever call (or calling) ducks respond to is what is needed.

IRT wood vs. acrylic it is the density of the material. acrylic is typically harder/denser than wood so the sound can be louder - most wooden calls are a little more subdued for closer in calling.

Chein cailles are good calls too though.

Good?

That is an insult to the Saltzman name

Haydel dr-85 to get their attention



Duck Commander Mallard cut-down for when their working in close. Raspier, snottier, quiter then the Haydel.



Haydel mp-90. Sometimes they don't want to hear quacks and a few tweets on this (I grunt into it at the same time) gets them in.



Duck Commander wood duck call. The only woodie call I've ever had that I could actually make do the "TEE-oooweeEEET" call of a woodie sitting on the water sound convincing.

Good calling vs bad calling and knowing when not to call are more important than what brand

Some particular calls don't work well for people others do

Daisy cutter and echo are our faves but we don't leave home without a whistle, grey duck call and a secret weapon


Case in point blind a and b each have 4 hunters blind b gets 24 mostly big ducks..... Blind b has 6 when blind a heads for camp

Difference blind a was getting all the ducks called away from b.....poor timing and wrong calls..... Right timing and calls
Left blind b real frustrated

I grew up on faulks, yentzen, haydels, and dc.....but the higher end calls are harder to master but are much better and more consistent when you make 45 plus hunts a year....

To say that haydels is a step down from dc is ford/chevy.....

Comparing either to echo or rnt is like comparing miss. State to LSU
