I am looking to purchase some new calls and was wondering what everyone was using and what I should buy!

if you were looking to get something good thats not to expensive check out calef calls especially there acrylics they are nice they sound great and not to loud but they cost about 50 bucks which is pretty good for an acrylic call

Where did you find them at?

I picked up an acrylic calef call from the mn game fair in anoka last spring, I think it cost me about $60.

I've been using the Duck Commander calls for duck hunting for quite some time now and they work great for me. They're not acrylics and they definitely aren't pretty but they blow easy, sound great, are inexpensive, and most importantly, they help me kill birds. _x000D_ _x000D_ As far as goose calls go, I'm looking at getting a nice acrylic call sometime in the near future but am not totally set on what to get. I'm thinking I might get something from the Tim Grounds Championship Calls line.

Get a bit more specific as to what you want... goose or duck... how much your thinking of spending. If you had to grade your self as a caller what would you say(A,B,C...). have you ever blown a short read goose call._x000D_ _x000D_ In todays call world there are so many different calls your just better off getting to a store finding something you like and can work into and trying to get a good deal on it. these forums are great places to pick up dang good calls for bottom dollar prices sometimes.

I like Big Guys Best calls but have also come across a local Missouri call maker named David Welsh from Kirksville, MO that makes a great call for hunting the marshes of South Central Missouri. Of course the Duck Commander's Green Weenie is always at hand (mallard drake call) for when they are just too call shy. I also use Kelly Belz's sprig whistle too (www.kellyskawls.com).

I recently got a Zink PH-2 that was $125.00 new. I love the call because it is good for close in hunting and its not too loud. I like to get that sound of a lonely hen quietly waiting for a drake to fly by

zink p2h and the moneymaker. love them calls. i like the carb better than the acrylic on the ph2 cause its a lower more raspy sound.

i just got a sean mann eastern shoreman goose flute that is pretty awesome. had to adjust the reed out of the box, but sounds great now_x000D_ _x000D_ http://secure.yisi.net/seanmann/shop/ca ... sp?catid=4

ZINK all the way I have the PH-2 in poly for geese and love it im not a pro or anything I just like the call a friend of mine has a ZINK power hen for ducks and it sounds great that is one of my off season buys for this year that and some calling cd's it all takes Practice,Practice,Practice.

Buck Gardner Double Nasty 2, Buck Gardner SBT Spit Tech Diamondwood w/acrylic insert single and a half reed, RNT Quackhead J Frame single reed, Primos Timber Wench, Primos Original Wench. Surprisingly, those cheap Wenches get the job done. I find myself using those most often.

I really like the Acrylic Money Maker from Zink for goose hunting and I like the Acrylic Deadly Black Widow from Southern Game Calls for duck hunting. Not that it matters but both calls are great for field hunting and for contest calling. Both are made by Champion callers.

Winglock- Original or Long Neck for Geese, Whisperer for the beginners and foggy days_x000D_ _x000D_ Winglock- Double reed for Duck, very easy to learn on and sounds awesome_x000D_ _x000D_ Customer Service is top shelf, Rick Perry is a super nice guy

check out death row calls, a little pricey but they are worth every penny

The Tru Edge G-Spot is a great call if you don't like to use a lot of air. Nice and raspy you can get plenty of volume out of it with very little effort or get really soft and nasty if you want. Check it out.

I use an acrylic Fowlkes for Snow geese and love the deep raspy feeding sound I can make with it._x000D_ _x000D_ _x000D_ Dale

I love me some sean mann met him a few times learnin to blow one aint easy but go with the sean mann shorty ss

for geese it's the Zink LM-1, I wont leave the house with out it ! for ducks the zink ph-2 .

i use a foiles migrators timber rattler for duck 100% duck sounds amazing and for the few geese we get here i use a foiles high plains honker

duck commander 1972 series calls are great. hard to chatter on if u are an inexperienced caller tho

I stick with my original Duck Commander. It's worked great for years, and it didn't cost an arm and a leg.

zink ph-2 for duck hunting and the zink moneymaker for geese

I am a fan of the buck gardner SS2.

if you are looking for a good duck call try a zink or foiles they both sound great,if you are looking for a goose call you can,t go wrong with a foiles,zink or tim grounds they all sound great.

I used to have a Foiles Meat Grinder and Showtime for geese.  However, due to Mr. Foiles recently running afoul of the law both here and in Canada, those calls are gone, and I'm trying Real Calls, made by Don Barden of Marion, IL.  They'll be my "go to" calls now. 

I really like to use either a lynch mob Slipnot Hybrid or a River Bottom Calls custom engraved goose call for geese..... for ducks I use the good old fashion single reed Faulks duck call

I am for any Buck Gardner call my self, and P.S. Olt D-2 keyhole also. You can get the D-2 duck call from DJ Calls (DJ Illinois River Vally Calls) for around $55.00.  DJ calls makes the Rilly Key Hole duck call. They use the Very molds Olts used and all the other equipment they used on the D-2 calls when they worked for Olts.

Kum Duck

zink calls for geese and duck cammander for ducks cod and money maker are the blow the cod from zink and you will by it yah its 160 dolllers but its sweet

For ducks (when they're around), I use a Buck Gardner "Double Nasty" duck call.

Has anyone tried one of the C&S calls?  I was looking at checking them out as well as Real Calls.

I have a couple of Mikes calls and I love em. Real nice guy too!

I have a duck commander and 2 old wooden calls a single and double reed. That single reed is a great feeder and good for a hen quack also. I also use a wood goose call I've been using the same calls for years.

Picked up a C&S Die Hard Series Apostle at Game Fair and really like it. It's pretty hard to beat the price too! And as FullDraw84 said, Mike's a real nice guy.

I guess we are going to have to fix that. You need a REAL CALL duck call hanging on your lanyard!

Death Row Calls all the way!

Fowl Play All The Way!  

for a duck call I really do like my Knock off weekend warrior  by LetEmWork custom game calls has a good clean mallard hen sound and at under 40 it is a steal.  Heck they are so new I am not even sure they are are his web site yet http://www.letemwork.com/duckcalls.htm

For mallards, I use a Haydels DRS-88 DOUBLE REED CAJUN SQUEAL,http://www.haydels.com/sounds/DRS-88.mp3, RF-03 Dirty Rice Mallard Call, http://www.haydels.com/sounds/RF-03.mp3, and the BB-10 “Big Blue” Blue-winged Teal, http://www.haydels.com/sounds/BT-85.mp3, which has great sound quality and the volume needed is teal hunting situations.  All a easy on the wallet too.

For geese, I use Haydels B-81 Blue & Snow Goose, http://www.haydels.com/sounds/B-81.mp3, and a cajun hand turned wooden snow goose call. Can't remember the name of the guy that made it.  Sounds great though.

All the Haydels are less than $25 before tax and/or shipping.

The hand turned wood goose call is on loan to me.

big guys best for ducks, there calls work and are easy to blow.  as for geese, i really like my glynn scobey, however since his passing earlier this year i haven't been able to find anywhere that has them, but if you can it is an amazing call that is more realistic than any other.  the other call i like is made by get em locked up i can't think of the name of the call, it's the only one they have on there site that is green and white.

If I had anything with Foiles' name on it, I would send it back a DEMAND a refund.  I don't care how good it sounds to me. I will not support that sorry sack of ... potatoes. 

Flywaycustoms "short Go"for goose. A great all around call. defintly my "go to" call. For ducks I also use Flyway Customs "Element" double reed. great sounding call that can be really quit and raspy or you can get it really lound for those long calls at ducks

i only hunt with GK calls the giant slayer for goose and the call girl for ducks i used to use zink but they were way to high pitched for me even if i tuned em

zink calls all the way, i have the pink paralyzer(call-for-a-cure) and the ph2 and ph1

Blow the Zink Money Maker before you buy anything, It sounds so good it's like cheating. Mr. Foiles stole from all of us so I put him on the "DNP" do not patronize list. But can't seam to get rid of my timber rattler,"I know what a hypcrite right".
