goose call
 

can anyone recommend a decent beginners goose call? Nothing too expensive.

I would recomend a Big River Flute , http://cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20712-cat200002&id=0016429220108a&navCount=2&amp ;podId=0016429&parentId=cat200002&masterpa thid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=XG&ri d=&parentType=index&indexId=cat200002& hasJS=true

Easy to use and only $25 .
IMO not the best , but they work .
I have several goose calls that cost 3 or 4 times that .
But I still have a Big River on the lanyard also

I love my H.S. slammer short reed call, easy to use and it calls'm in great.

Big River for me.I have had trouble getting constent good notes with a short reed. Short reeds sound better but the flute will do the job just fine.

Any flute for a beginner!! I used the Big river flute for a long time!!

I would go with a Foiles Meatgrinder....I like the short reed sound better than a flute and this is a great call.

For some reason the H.S. slammer sounds damn good. I have two short reed goose calls and really for the money the slammer is worth the 12 dollars i put into it. It will do just as well as my expensive call, the only problem i have with the slammer is that it is a tough call to blow when the temps get bitterly cold.

Tim Grounds makes a flute that he won 5 world championships with. It sounds just like the Foiles meatgrinder but its only $40 instead of $150. I blow a short reed most of the time but I keep the Foiles and the Grounds flutes available, especially when I"m hunting ice or open water.

First off don't start with a flute. Your best bet is to go with the big river shorty or a Goozilla from RnT- they will run you about $25-$30 but with a flute you can only do so much. Start with a short reed and you'll love it- you just gotta practice.

RE: goose call
 

I'd stay away from the big river as well and start with a shortreed, especially if you plan on getting into waterfowl seriously. Short reeds aren't that tough to master, and sounds 110 times better. Last year we had a guy setup in a field right adjacent to ours and he was blowing a big river. We would let him start to work the geese and then 3 of us would lay into them with shortreeds, needless to say, he never fired a shot that day.

I like the Big River Long Honker in wood, easy to blow, sounds better than the plastic.
