ilhnter Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I went on my first duck hunts this winter, and really enjoyed it. I would like to learn to call. I'm looking for any advice on a beginner call. Whats the best type of call to learn with or the easiest to use. Any advice would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Beginner Duck Calls a cheap but very easy call to blow is RNT Quackhead double reed. I just picked one up at Wal-Mart on sale for like 9 bucks. I'd recommend starting with a double reed. The double reed calls are a little easier and more forgiving to blow. Get with a good caller to get some advise or get a good instructional CD/DVD. good luck--that duck hunting is fun todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DU_man_84 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Beginner Duck Calls you definately want to start with a double reed, as for what calls for a begginner i always tell begginers to start on one of two calls, the HS Bill Collector double reed or Buck Gardners Double Nasty II call they are both great beginner calls, extremely easy to blow and are inexpensive, both around like 15 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil hunter Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Beginner Duck Calls I've seen a couple people post here saying to start with a double reed, but anytime i've ever watched duck hunting and/or calling videos, they reccomend you to start with a single reed. The single reed is harder to get the hang of, but when you learn how to use a single reed, you can make a wider variety of calls than you could with the double. And, if you can use a single, then it will be easy for you to pick up a double reed and use it well, also. But then, if you learn on a double reed, you're still going to have to learn to blow a single reed, if you ever want to. Hopefully that made sense. I have heard a lot of good about the quackhead calls, but i've never used one. I use an Echo, molded Timber call. You can buy one for about $30. good luck, i'd also reccomend getting the H.S. Waterfowl, duck and goose calling 101 dvd. I have it and it helped quite a bit. Mine came free with one of my Take 'em dvd's, I can't remember which one though.

[/ QUOTE ] i agree on the single reed is gonna be harder for a beginner duck hunter, but single vs double being able to make different calls, that i do not believe, can make all the calls on my double reeds, and i can blow a single just as good i just prefer double reeds, the differene in a single vs a double is that on a single you can achieve those really loud hail calls that you cant on a double, the only main difference is volume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soonerman22 Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Re: Beginner Duck Calls I also believe that the primos original wench is a great beginning call as for a single reed, without spenging a bunch of money, the quackhead timbre is a good one and for a little bit a cash i really like my RNT short barrel...its one of the duckiest sounding calls i have. GOOD LUCK, just find one and fall in love with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
