??duck calls??

[panhandlehunter]

Look up Qauck shack calls they r made in Dallas great calls and just get a single reed call.

Single reed is tough for someone that's never blown a duck call. I prefer them but starting out is get a double reed.

Cabelas has some Buck Gardner calls on sale right now. I just got one and it sounds great. Definitely get a whistle. Less than $10 and can be a pintail, teal, widgeon, and a mallard drake. I have been duck hunting North East Texas my whole life and have noticed less and less mallards and more gadwall so I also carry a gadwall call.

Maybe it's just me then.

A whistle is the best thing you can use and forget all that calling. A old sureshot and a whistile is what I carry and tind to let the decoys do there work ducks get call shy. Find a place that is holding lots of ducks and sit and listen to them and watch them you can learn alot.

I definitely agree with not calling so much. The whistle is my most used call. And listening to ducks is the only way to truly learn how to call.

I carry two duck calls. One loud and one for soft calling. I also have a whistle.

If your just getting started you need one call. A mallard. Every duck will respond to that. Easiest that I've used is the duck commander triple threat. Seams to me that it is easy to blow like a double reed but still blows when u get lots of spit in it.

This series of videos really helped me start learning how to call correctly.

I'm just a novice but have had success in calling ducks in, I started with a DR-85 and a whistle. All I use in my area is a teal whistle, mallard drake and basic quack. I'm brand new to calling but those were the easiest for me to learn and works for me, I call maybe 1/4 as much as most people do and it works for me. I also picked up a buck Gardner double nasty for $20 last year at cabelas, easy to blow and sounds good too.

Planning on getting a wood one made by lonestar calls, he's on TBH and local to the DFW area as well. Look him up on Instagram if you wanna see and hear his work.

Lifes to short to have an ugly duck call

I carry a single reed (one of mine). with that one call I can replicate: teal (blue and green), Mallard hen, gadwall, canvasback, bluebill, ringneck, and coot. All whistles and such I make with my mouth, cant name em all, but I dont know one that I cant replicate with my mouth alone, including wood duck

Double reeds are easier to learn on, but a single will do everything from top to bottom if you can drive it.

I carry 4 calls. A goose, 2 single reed mallard, and a whistle. Starting out just get a whistle and learn the feeding call. Keep decoys moving and call very little. Birds will drop in if you're where they want to be.

[LuBowhunter]

Buy you a shurshot mallard 650 and whistle. No sense in buying those fancy dancy over priced calls. Find the ducks and get where they want to be.

This is all you need.

I've been duck hunting for over 49 years and one the best calls I have ever used is the Olt DR-115.

I have a Faulks WA-33, original Duck Commander, a whistle and the basic Flextone. The Faulks is higher pitched and cariies, the Duck Commander is good all around, the Flextone is surprisingly good and easy to blow. If I were to only carry one it would probably be the Flextone, plus it works wet.

My observation from last season. Most people call too much and can't shoot.
