So far I've got the double nasty II acryllic call and a duck commander dymond wood series moss call and I'm looking to add 1 more to my collection while it's tax free weekend. I'm in the beginning stages but have been making a lot of progress lately watching YouTube videos and practicing. Any tips on what to get would be greatly appreciated thanks!

I bought a Ms Priss for my grand daughter and it sounded good. I like my Hobo and Quack Shack. I have an RNT and Zink that are still in the box.

What are you looking for in a call? Loud and ringing, raspy, pure low end duck, a good single that can cover one end to the other?

Got to cabelas, bass pro and go through the call case and see what best fits you. I could ramble off about 50 calls that I think are best but if they don't fit your calling style it does you zero good to own one.

No, i think less is better, and you be amazed what u can do with it With a tealcall you can mimmick gadwall, redhead, cans and teal With a whisle you can call in mallards (drake), teal, pintail, ringed neck and widgeons That will be 95% of your kill at a total cost of under $15

Haydel's DR-85. Under $20, easy to run for a beginner, and sounds just like a hen mallard.
