RE: duck and goose calls
i recommend starting out with a short reed goose call. my roommate has a zink double clucker that came with a dvd for around $30-$40. i have been blowing a flute since i can remember and jus now switched to a Death Row short reed. so far watchin the zink movie has helped me tons. as far as duck calls i'd start with Primos, Duck Commander, or Quack Head. all are pretty cheap and can sound good right out of the box. good luck
