RE: Goose Calling
One of the best learning videos I watched was a VHS called "Honker Talk" by Shawn Stahl.....may be on DVDnow though.....learned alot from it.
As far as a call..there are so many out there it's hard to tell someone which to buy. definetly get a short reed and atleast some kind of atleast a poly carb call...preferably a acrylic works the best for me. I blow the Foiles line and have always worked for me. I learned along time ago to buy a good call instead of a bunch of cheaper ones that i did not like as much and then ended up selling them or they were given away to young kids.
