Holy cow! What a great breakdown! I have been calling on a double reed for a few years, and was thinking about buying a cut down call. Would you suggest learning a single reed to help my transition? I will probably stick with my double reed this season, and just practice with the new call. Thanks! Keep kickin butts and killin dux!

@@propellingimagery3776 Honestly, If you are committed to learning a cut down call, I'd say "go all in" and start learning. That way you don't have to learn something all over again if your end game is a cut down call. Be prepared for it to take you a while, and don't be discouraged. If you find its too hard, you can always go to a traditional single reed call. To help you with learning, you really should listen to calling videos with people using cut down calls, though. They do sound quite different.

A Haydel dr85 was my first call too. I still have it on my lanyard with a daisy cutter! Great video!

Excellent breakdown on the different types of calls. I found it interesting to learn about how the cutdown style came about. Great video!

New duck hunter. Cleared my confusion on calls thank you so much!

Great stuff from the novice to the experienced!!! Appreciate the channel.

I love my single reeds for versatility, the double reeds when they are in real tight, no need to yell at them! Love both wood and acrylic, both have great uses! I thought about the music instrument part a few weeks back and it helps tremendously!

That Echo Timber Cocobolo double reed is still my go to call. I've had near everything you can imagine for calls from Gardner/Echo/RNT and I still keep going back to my 20 year old Echo Timber Coco especially to finish them in tight.

Great breakdown! I enjoyed your discussion of wooden calls. I still keep a Yentzen double-reed and a Yentzen triple-reed on my lanyard. My father gave them to me in the early 1980s. They sound wonderful in timber. I’m in Colorado now (no timber!), but keep them on my string as homage to my old man. I have moved to acrylic, no surprise. Great discussion of single- vs double-reed. I’m a fan of the double-reed all day. They offer a real duck raspiness that I think the single-reeds lack. Great video! Glad I found your channel! I’ll be spreading the word to my buddies to follow you.

Surviving Duck Season Gosh, they have such a “ warm” tone. Not the best for big open spaces like I hunt or open fields across the midwest, but still great for finishing weary ducks when they are close but not committed.

Thanks for the information!

Love your vids I’m a big duck hunter

Honestly man for me once I got my quack down and was ready to pay a little more for a duck call I bought the Hayes whiskey barbed wire with the poly insert and I’ve had that this for about 5 years and for me personally since it has that sharp lip on the barrel it was easier for me to control when I was learning to do a feed call and just calling in general so I’d recommend that for anyone who’s just starting out

I started duck hunting with a Buck Gardner Double Nasty 2, 5 years ago. Just a few months ago I bought a DR-85, and it is now my favorite call. I think it sounds pretty realistic, and for 20 bucks that's hard to beat. It does stink though, but you get used to it.

What? You're sticking a double? Let's see now let me guess... You use your tongue a lot and you're touching your teeth wth it while calling. That's a no no. Fill call with spit and it freezes up. Use back of your throat to cut notes. The "k" type of presentation is better than "t". If you're going hut hut hut....quit that. Try hawk or cook. Cut notes with back of mouth....throat. it hurts at first

Duck hunting is addictive... I hope you do go one day soon, but be prepared for it to consume a lot of your time

Calls are so enormously a personal preference deal! I personally use a Stinson for personal reason. But if you're comfortable with your call and, most importantly, know WHEN to call, you will be fine with any brand!

Up here in Yankee land the onliest place I could find decent calls was wherever I found them. Bait shop had a couple Olt d2s that I snagged way way back. I wore out many Faulk's WA-11s I got at rural king farm supply. My daughter uses them as Christmas ornaments. Also worth mentioning is the yentzen. Wood calls are better in my experience. Try a Committed Custom Calls duck call out. I think they might still make one that's wood. Their acrylic calls are loud and work well.

In all sincerity good sir, I really do appreciate your demonstrations and specific and well defined explanations. I have learn more about duck calls in this short KZread video than I had years previously. Thank you

I am a new duck hunter. I definitely suck at calling ducks but I have called one or two in and it might be the best thing ever.

Listen to the art of commanding ducks from duck commander. It will help you out buddy.

I just got an Echo XLT this season and it is hands down the best call on the market (lol joking). nah it's pretty nice though. I've had a bunch of different calls ranging from poly to cocobolo and honestly the one that I learned the most from was a 17$ Faulks WA-33 duck call. That Cheapo Faulks wood call helped me get through all my mistakes with cadence and feeding chuckles. Now that I learned more about calling moving up to the Echo has been really nice and I feel a lot more confident.

Echo calls are the best hands down

And if you’re looking for the goose call I’d go with the foiles strait meat honker, my brother has one and it’s just as good as any, I personally use the tim grounds g overhauler and it’s another five star call

I just got a Mondo LT. I hunt a cypress/tupelo reservoir and this call seems like a perfect fit for this type of area. I’m in Louisiana and from what I’ve seen over the last 25 years is that not many people in this area use a cut-down style call. It’s definitely taking me some time to get the hang of it. Seems like fast short bursts of air give me the best results. Still can’t make it bark like I want but I guess that will eventually come. Any advice is appreciated - love the videos by the way. Keep it up

Keep working on loosening your throat and blowing hot air into the call. It takes a lot of practice to get single reeds to sound like a duck and the mondo is on the more difficult side of single reeds to run correctly. It’s just muscle memory so keep practicing on single quacks or barks and eventually you’ll get it

Try a foiles straight Suzy double read, I can get it super quiet and loud on the high end, shot alot of fat green heads using this call

For most new hunters and callers the price is what they will look at. And yes new callers should go double reed calls. And practice is key and that doesn't mean wait till your in the blind for your first duck hunt. I have seen most new callers over do it and that will actually chase ducks way and that doesn't make for good hunting nor getting invited to hunt with the guys your with again. I've been calling for over 40 years and I still use double reed calls up to the point the weather gets cold as these calls will lock up in cold weather more so than the single reeds will. I have two duck calls and one goose on me at a time and one of those is a whistle for drake calling and teal and other whistling ducks. But again price is everything for a bunch of hunters and I myself I won't pay over 100 dollars for a call don't care what it's made of. Though I do prefer wood over poly and I do like resonite or delrin made calls. They have a sound similar to wood but are more durable and cost effective.

I personally do enjoy the duck commander Jase pro series and the Phil pro series they are very easy to blow and sound very good but thats my opinion there are obviously better ones but if you don't want to break the bank and still get a very good call id recommend .

Double nasty 2, tune it till it just starts to buzz when you blow soft and sounds too low when you blow with hard lips. Then take a medium sand paper over the tone board and file off the end at a 45 angle that is approximately 1/2 inches from top of 35 to bottom of 45. Then take a black cake tray from the grocery store and cut two new reeds put a dimple in one with the flex side down and the other will be flex side up for the Reed. Then cut Reed to approximately the length of the bottom of the 45 on the tone board after its set in with a wet corkwith the top Reed being cut at 2/3rds the length of the tone board and bent at a 33° angle. This is start. Then tune it to your voice by flexing the Reed at 3mm increments, more rasp is how much you take of the corners after 1mm taken off the corner you will need to round the Reed instead of a straight corner this can be done with a fingernail cuticle cutter. Then when you have your call flat and low tuned you tune your top Reed. When you do a rolling R with very little air pressure it should sound like wing beats, and if standard pressure it should sound like a high low, and if you pressure ice the call it should stick and you can make teal sounds. If the teal sounds right your mallard call is tuned too high if the teal noise sounds way too dark and kinda hard to maintain its set right for mallards. You can tune a mallard call to teal for early season and mallard for regular season or keep two different ones with different tunes. I tune my open water d-2 to teal and my double nasty2 to mallards. And keep a Woodford for feeding chatter. Wooden calls you use the cedar tone board and take the cedar wedge out and put a cork stopper in it and cut the stopper so it is a plug in the bell like a goose gut. Then you tune them the same way as a j-frame without modifications. As I only carry a drake whistle and a high roller and three mallard calls tuned differently and have landed every kind of duck in my flyway it think it works.

I have had more calls then I can remember, I have evsn made my own duck & goose calls. And nothing beats a 20 dollar haydel for me lol

There seems to be one type of call/sound that is used when the majority of Duck hunters hunt and one basic type that produces that call/sound. What call/device by brand is a good choice to call the ducks (Mallards, Wood ducks, etc.) in for a "wackin'??!!" Please advise. Thanks.

Used on Genesis' Duke.

What is your buddies favorite crow call? You should do a crow hunt vid with him. Turn some waterfowl hunters into crow hunters in the off season. It’s the closest thing to waterfowl hunting. There’s a KZread vid called “Tennessee Crow Hunt” and the guy is a wildlife biologist and says crows kill more game birds than all hunters combined. Plus they damage crops. I raise pecans for a living and they steal me blind every year. Every morning I have to get outside around daylight to let them know I mean danger to them. They stay away pretty good after they spot me. I think they’re much more challenging to hunt than waterfowl. They’re a much smarter animal. Ranked in the top 5 most intelligent animals in the world. There’s another vid called “Crowbusters why we hunt crows” and it shows the damage they do to other animals.

Suggest me the best one call for open water

LifeofMurphys Outdoors Channel Good set of decoys (this is very dependent on what’s flying in the area you hunt) Good set of clothing (I recommend a really nice set of waders but I hunt in Louisiana so it’s almost necessary at times down here) A reliable shotgun with chokes (pumps are tried and true actions but semis are very good as well but some semis don’t want to cycle everything) Good duck hunting ammo (DO NOT BUY LEAD ITS ILLEGAL TO HUNT WITH LEAD, a lot of new hunters try to buy the cheap clay shooting shells but most of them are lead and if you are caught hunting with lead the game warden will fuck your world up) A good duck call (I used the duck commander triple threat it’s a triple reed call and it’s just a little easier to blow and learn than a double reed, works just as well) I recommend going hunting with family or a friend whose been duck hunting to teach you the ropes and help you identify a flying duck compared to a different flying bird and learn how they act and respond.

This is sort of way out there but.. flying radio controlled airplanes is EXACTLY LIKE CALLING DUCKS. You tell the plane when to turn. It teaches you the timing and how to work with the wind. Try it.

Not the same comparison. However, if you play a wind instrument you’re already ahead because you understand air control. Go for the single reed call 👍🏻

@troykaufman5262

The biggest difference is on a saxophone you are placing your lower lip on the reed and controlling how the reed vibrates with your lip/ jaw pressure as well as your air support. A duck call has the reeds contained within the barrel and they vibrate freely against a wedge. You can’t control the reed with your mouth or jaw but you can still control your air support and direction/ tongue shape.

Thanks for this video I absolutely love duck hunting however I can't blow a duck call to save my life

"Any duck call about 30bucks is the best one my buddy says. Theres no call that sounds exactly like a duck. If you buy a 300dollar call, and youre a 2dollar caller you just wasted 298 dollars. The best callers in the game can likely kill ducks using the worst calls available."

If you hunt the timber you won't kill many ducks without good calling. They won't ever know you're down there in all those trees without calling them. I've called so many ducks in my life it's crazy. Without the call that wouldn't have been possible.
