what call to buy?

[rawalley]

I am new to duck hunting but am interested in getting into it... I hunt in Edwards, Ms by the dividing line of Hinds and Warren County... What kind of ducks am i looking for? or What kind of decoy and call should i purchase?

[teul2]

go get a $15 Haydells DR-85

[Duct-Up]

+ 1 on the DR-85 ....great place to start with a call.

Haydel's All the way...I still have one on my lanyard...great call.

Try 6 mallards(3hens and 3 drakes) and 6 wood ducks(same split up) to start with. You may see wood ducks and gadwall with a mallard or two thrown in I would guess. I know some peeps in a deer camp that boarders the big black in Claiborne Co. and when the river gets up, that is what they see and shoot!

or the echo timber double reed wood/acrylic. I love it and it is easy to blow

[ScottyLee]

plus 1 on the dr 85. super easy to use. and not that expensive either. great for learning the basics. after much research 90% of everyone i discussed this with whenever i was learning to use one suggested dr 85

Start out with a single reed call, whether it be polycarb or wood. I will never advise anyone to start out on a double reed call. It causes too many bad habits to fix later.

I call Bullchitt. A duck call ain't no different than anything else. It's up to the individual on how well he wants to call, regardless of the call. Yeah the singles are more versatile, blah blah blah, they're prettier, sexier, take up for small penis syndrome blah blah blah.

Specifically what habits do you speak of? Is the quarter turn, anti countering clockwise tongue roll done differently on the single?

Go getta call and blow the chitt out of it. Record yourself till you sound how you feel a caller should. Try your luck this year, gimme a holler next year and you can hunt with us. I'll show you what a chitty duck hunt is...

In the meantime don't ax too many questions round here, lotta pros hangin out that'll topwater the chitt outta ya.

I started out with an RNT original in cocabola. Given to me by my father. Sounded like absolute chit for about the 1st year, but you get better and better as time goes on. Recording yourself is a good thing to do so you can hear exactly what you sound like. Just remember to keep blowing it even after the season goes out. Otherwise you will be right back in the same place come next season. Welcome to the sport, and good luck to you.

reaper, you can call bs if you want. The truth just hurts.

[greenheadgrimreaper]

It does it does...

[MemphisStockBroker]

take someone with you the first couple of times you go out... and dont be afraid to ask them for help.
