Looking for a duck call under 50 bucks.I am hunting small marshes and a little open water. I picked up the primos yo sista...not sure what to think about it. I can't get quiet on it. Seems like I can only whale on it.

I just bought a Haydels Timber call, nice and quiet. I like it when my Foiles SMM is too much. Jim

This year I got the new Buck Gardner duck call for $40 and it sounds great. It has a real deep rich sound that has done a great job for methis year. The one I havefeatures the Spit Tech Polycarbonate, which guarantees not to stick regardless of how much spit, moisture, or water gets in it.

If you go to his site you can listen to the calls right there on the site.

Good luck!

Tim Grounds Sweet Meet... right around 50 bucks, Great call, diamondwood with polycarbonate insert

Original Duck Commander if you want quiet. Sounds more like a duck than a susie does.

Other call I use a lot is an Echo bois'darc barrel with a cocobola insert.

Also have one of those Haydel's doubles. Its a great call too.

quackhead calls is good, they are a division of RNT calls

I'm really new to calls, but I bought a Duck Commander Original at walmart a few days ago for like $7.00. It's certainly is quite. But certainly do like it! I also bought there brown sugar model. Don't know how I feel about it. Doesn't take very much air. Figured I couldn't go wrong when it was half the price on their website.

I think calls are alot like some other things. Sometimes the simplest is best. And more money will buy you better quality control...sometimes...and more attention to detail....sometimes. But it rarely gaurentees a overall better product. Of course, I'm not saying expensive calls are trash...that's nonsense.

Ill bet the 2 calls that have been responsible for the most ducks killed ever would be...

the Olt D-2, out of business now,, real hard too find one.

And the Haydels DR-85,, still around and under $20.

Echo's are real nice calls,, a little more pricey though.

Primos Timber Wench, Quackhead, and Flextone. You might be able to get all 3 for $50. I just got a Quackhead and like it a lot. The others, I've had for several years and are always good choices. Check your Wal Mart. They clearance the calls for cheap and have a good selection. I bought 5 Duck Commanders for $5 each a few years ago. Oh! Ther is some more. Duck Commander, Yetzen, Hydell's, and Big River Game Calls are good too. So many choices, so little ducks.

There are alot of GREAT calls out there, and I have several that I personally like. But my all time favorite calls are made by Tim Grounds. That could be partially cause I took one on one call lessons with him at a waterfowl calling contest and show.
