I was just wondering what other types of calls you guys carry into the hunt with you? I've been thinking of getting a pintail whistle but don't know how much I will use it. Anyone have a favorite brand or certain style they like?

I have a Primos whistle.  It's the one that comes with their beginner pack with a mallard hen call and a little instructional dvd.  I honestly can't make much of a mallard drake grunt.  I think I just can't get my voice low enough, but it sure works for peeping teal in. :)   We often throw a couple pintail dekes out in the spread too.  And I'll throw in a sprig drake whistle once in a while to back up Joe's calling, for a little more realism.

I've got the HS 6-in-1 whistle. Works good for teal and drake mallard calls. Haven't gotten into any pintails or wigeons to try it out on them yet. I want to get the Duck Commander drake gadwall and drake mallard specialty calls as well.

6 in 1

I've got the 6 in 1 that I will use when the wigeon are around and for teal peeps. I don't use it much for the drake mallard anymore because dad's got a Duck Commander drake mallard call but prior to him purchasing that, the 6 in 1 worked well for it.

OutdoorGal - you probably hit the nail on the head with saying your problem is not being able to get your voice low enough...I've gotta make a pretty deep grunt to make the 6 in 1 sound right.

I carry a 6 in 1 all the time, but my blind bag always has a gadwall call in it.  Also, if I'm going to the river or larger lakes, I'll also throw a diver call in the bag as well for scaup, buffleheads, etc.  Of course, I'm planning to take decoys for divers as well.

Down here in the Sportsman's Paradise, I have a DC 6 in 1 whistle, a DC Woodie, and I use a Haydel Cajun Squeal. The Greenhead grunt is like a vuuuuuutttttt in the whistle.

Where did you get the diver call at? One of our honeyholes attracts alot of divers and although they will work to a regular hen mallard call, it would be nice to have a diver call to try out and see if they respond better.
