Redneck -

You can buy a Gaston custom wood call for $75.00.
These calls are some of the best made and produce some of the best sounds in a "meat call"

out of the dozens of calls Ive had over the years - Echo timber double reed is the easiest to blow and produces an awesome sound. In the plastic you're looking at 28.00 bucks

under $50: ECHO poly timber double reed. Easy to blow and sounds good. Haydel's calls are good for the money too.

under $100: RNT short barrel in one of the woods. I like the burnt bois d'arc personally. Cocobolo sounds good too.

Echo moulded timber double or single reed. Rick Dunn will sell replacement reeds and corks that can make the $30 calls sound pretty much like the $80 to $130 calls if you do a little messin with em.

especially if you dip or chew in the blind.... Primos Timber Wench. Will run you about $14 and you can throw it away if you get some extra 'fiber' in the reeds...

I got one of the Hydell's Cocacrylic Cajun Squealer calls last year for about $60. I like it a lot but I can't make it squeal. Does anybody out there know how that is supposed to be accomplished? Anyway, it sounds pretty good even without the squeal.

Just bend it over.

Just kidding with ya, I've got no idea.

You beat me to it Wildfowler........classic.......

Primos wench with the spit diches... works well even with viennas and crackers... tends to stick with beenie wienies.... throw away if used with tuna.......

judge jb

Pretty good Wildfowler. I guess I stepped right into that one.

I just got the new RNT quackhead. It is a fine call. $30

Get the call that sounds the best when YOU blow it. Go to the store and try out a bunch of different ones. Take somebody with you and ask for their honest opinion, because it's hard to tell what you sound like, yourself. Now, for my opinion: Arkansas style, single reed and wooden only. I have blown one call and one call only, since 1978, so I don't have any recommendations as far as current models, but there are plenty of good ones out there.

some of greg hood's calls (southern came calls i believe) sound fantastic. some of his sound like poo poo. primos wench sounds good in most situtions. big river game calls that they had at wal mart a couple of years ago sound excellent, but I can't find em any more. GC is sending me one of his old ones...thanks.
