Last year I did a Zinks green machine, and DLC call....

I ordered mallard whistle 2 years ago that should be ready this year,... I may try another couple of calls.

What DLC? I have a Con HC in Hedge and a Sinner in Coco. Both awesome calls but I like the Con HC. I also got a RM CWF I got to use on New Year's Day. Looking forward to using it for a full season.

I tried a hand cut DLC conartist, it took a bit more air to blow than I prefer... or at least I'm better with the Zink Green machine.

What reed? I find it fairly easy to blow. I have the 1.2 dagger in it now. I also like the 1.0 standard.

It's more about to little / less backpressure than anything else... probably user error, but it's just a bit harder to operate for me.

For the first time in decades, I've no plans to audition a new call or even new tuning this season. Could be that part of the hunt is finally over...

Ducks sound different this year?

Ducks sound all kinds of different every year, and duck calls run all kinds of different. 'Spose a fellow could stick with the first thing he can squeeze a quack out of, but he'd miss a lot of fun.

Mostly hunters are sounding different lately ! The cost of a call sure has gone up so I'll stick with my DR 85 and Cut-down
for now as they'll still bring down the leaves from most trees , if need be . Some don't have trees where they hunt so how
do they know their call can reach the next county ? Just wondering ? :lol3: :lol3:

Bought a DLC HC LT this spring that I absolutely love and I'm getting the itch to buy another call so maybe look at a short version of the Mondo or Mondo LT

If the guy on the far end of the blind's ears are bleeding, you've probably a pretty good start on it.

How's the early Teal season working for you ? Hope the heat in your area goes away soon , so you can give us a scouting
report ?

 

[DuckSlayer5200]

I just ordered an Elite Freak. I'm not sure why but I just like the looks of it. Hopefully, it shows up soon.

Have usually heard a lot more "questionable" reports by now, but still expect to start seeing seeing teal in the flooded (for second crop) rice stubbles during the next week or two. Generally as if they show up in numbers for the Gueydan Duck Festival and State calling contests held the last full weekend in August.

Same here, The new high dollar calls are to expensive to collect also, so, Ive started collecting old ones that reflect the days of old.

This is my first season, so they're all new to me. I'm kinda a call nut. I've coyote hunted for years with hand calls. I've always loved a good hand made custom call. So with that said, I've bought "a few" since January. I also stole a old one from my Dad that I'll be running this season. It's a old (probably 40 plus years old) all wood Thomas Standard. Thing sounds amazing. I also really like the Calef Calls Kamikaze single reed and Shocker; along with the Tim Grounds D Overhauler. Those are the ones I plan to use, along with a whistle. Been practicing since January. I keep the calls in my vehicle and practice a little every day just about. It honestly took me months to get a good quack down. LOL I'm really looking forward to the season.

Don't keep your calls in a hot vehicle, it can alter the reed. Good luck on your first waterfowl season, it's addictive.

Never heard a Thomas duck call, but speck hunted with a Thomas predator call for 18 seasons before retiring it while still in working order:

Believe DS5200 is probably right about leaving calls in a hot vehicle and know several guys who've had theirs stolen off cab mirrors. (I carry whichever one I'm wanting to play with in my pocket.)

Anyway, have fun with it.

Im trying two calls from Bayou Beast calls. The Bayou Beast and Perfect Hen calls. Sounds amazing. Hand made and the price is great.

 

[Swim-bait]

This is the Thomas Standard I "took" from my Dad. Man, it has to be around 50 years old. Maybe older. Still looks great and sounds amazing.
