Looking for mallard call suggestions

[mastercaster]

I'm in the market for a good sounding mallard duck call. Want to get something decent but I won't be buying one of the acrylic ones that are in the $150 range,,,,,so please avoid throwing one of those in as an option. LOL

What one do you have ,,,,or would like to have if you were in the market for another?

Haven't hunted ducks in years now, but when I did, I used to use Haydel calls. Not expensive, but sound vey good. Shot lots of birds using those calls.

I have an original Olt 66 that is a dream to use. Just don’t know if you’ll ever get your hands on one.

A friend told me the Illinois River Valley #66 call is a very close facsimile so I've been considering that one.

zink ATM in polycarb going to be one of the best calls in that price range

Nothing that has Duck Commander on it, really over rated. A good inexpensive call is the Buck Gardner Spitlogic duck call, never freeze up, The wooden Sure Shot Game Calls Yentzen duck call 500 is great call for the money. I'v got some old OLT calls that are great until they freeze up.

Sorry, the Buck Gardner Is called the Spitfire, on their website they have a 75th ann. poly/diamond wood on for $20 down from $50, thats a good deal.

I picked up a buck gardner from cabelas for $20 actually surprised how good it sounds

Thanks for all the suggestions!

I ended up ordering one of the Illinois River Valley (Olts) #66 calls. They're made by the guys who used to work for the original company. Found a good price at Knutson's Decoys out of the States. Luckily, I live close to Blaine and have a NEXUS card so quick and easy pick up.

Olts not Otts but good choice
