Well the last time I was out my old trusted duck call of almost 10 years lost its tune and finally croaked. Not bad I guess for a plastic duck call. I got it when I signed up as a supporter of Delta Waterfowl.
Well I hmmed and hawwwed long and hard and decided that now that I planned on doing a lot more waterfowl hunting over the salt chuck I decided it was time to try an acrylic call from a reputable call maker. Acrylic is denser then wood and sounds closer to wood then plastic, it also doesn't swell when it gets wet. This will be the first of my high price tag calls and we'll see how it performs before I decide I get another.
My wife nearly killed me when she found out what I spent my B-day money on..."Why do you need another call? You already have a bunch?!" Try and explain that to the wife. I compared it to her having to have different types of shoes but we wont go there.
I went to several manufacturer’s websites and listened to the different calls they produced and this is the one that caught my attention. It’s made by RNT or Rich N Tone duck calls. The call I decided on is called the Daisy Cutter. Sweet sounding call and if I can work it half as good as the guy in the sound clip I’ll be laughing all the way to the blind. I searched quite a few other waterfowl and calling websites and it seemed that this call stood out from all the rest for close in work and medium range/loudness. Here is what it looks like but the one I ordered is coming in Mallard Green. I should have it sometime next week I figure.
Does anyone else on the site have any RNT calls and if so how do you like them? Any other makes of Acrylic calls out there from you duckers?
Man it's going to be a long off season... I'm going to drive my wife, not to mention the dogs, bonkers with the new call for the next 6-8 months
