RE: decoys and calls
i do ALOT of pass shooting and all the calls i take out are a speckle-belly call, snow call, canada call, and a sprig whistle, the sprig whistle covers most every duck i see, pintails, gaddwals, mallards, teal, bufflehead, and spooniesi hunt public land and most people are callers and sometimes it pays just to go out there and sit on a levee and shoot what flys over. and i would suggest Green Head Gear deacs, but if your on a budget and if the guys your hunting with have a few magnum-or super mags then just goto Wal0Mart and see what they have. quite often around duck season i will se deacs going for under $100 a dozen
