      Holy cow! What a great breakdown! I have been calling on a double reed for a few years, and was thinking about buying a cut down call. Would you suggest learning a single reed to help my transition? I will probably stick with my double reed this season, and just practice with the new call. Thanks! Keep kickin butts and killin dux!

    • @SurvivingDuckSeason
      @SurvivingDuckSeason  4 года назад +1

      @@propellingimagery3776 Honestly, If you are committed to learning a cut down call, I'd say "go all in" and start learning. That way you don't have to learn something all over again if your end game is a cut down call. Be prepared for it to take you a while, and don't be discouraged. If you find its too hard, you can always go to a traditional single reed call. To help you with learning, you really should listen to calling videos with people using cut down calls, though. They do sound quite different.

    Honestly man for me once I got my quack down and was ready to pay a little more for a duck call I bought the Hayes whiskey barbed wire with the poly insert and I’ve had that this for about 5 years and for me personally since it has that sharp lip on the barrel it was easier for me to control when I was learning to do a feed call and just calling in general so I’d recommend that for anyone who’s just starting out

    Up here in Yankee land the onliest place I could find decent calls was wherever I found them. Bait shop had a couple Olt d2s that I snagged way way back. I wore out many Faulk's WA-11s I got at rural king farm supply.
    My daughter uses them as Christmas ornaments. Also worth mentioning is the yentzen.
    Wood calls are better in my experience. Try a Committed Custom Calls duck call out. I think they might still make one that's wood. Their acrylic calls are loud and work well.

    I just got an Echo XLT this season and it is hands down the best call on the market (lol joking). nah it's pretty nice though. I've had a bunch of different calls ranging from poly to cocobolo and honestly the one that I learned the most from was a 17$ Faulks WA-33 duck call. That Cheapo Faulks wood call helped me get through all my mistakes with cadence and feeding chuckles. Now that I learned more about calling moving up to the Echo has been really nice and I feel a lot more confident.

    I started duck hunting with a Buck Gardner Double Nasty 2, 5 years ago. Just a few months ago I bought a DR-85, and it is now my favorite call. I think it sounds pretty realistic, and for 20 bucks that's hard to beat. It does stink though, but you get used to it.

      What? You're sticking a double?
      Let's see now let me guess...
      You use your tongue a lot and you're touching your teeth wth it while calling.
      That's a no no. Fill call with spit and it freezes up. Use back of your throat to cut notes. The "k" type of presentation is better than "t".
      If you're going hut hut hut....quit that.
      Try hawk or cook. Cut notes with back of mouth....throat. it hurts at first

    Great breakdown! I enjoyed your discussion of wooden calls. I still keep a Yentzen double-reed and a Yentzen triple-reed on my lanyard. My father gave them to me in the early 1980s. They sound wonderful in timber. I’m in Colorado now (no timber!), but keep them on my string as homage to my old man. I have moved to acrylic, no surprise. Great discussion of single- vs double-reed. I’m a fan of the double-reed all day. They offer a real duck raspiness that I think the single-reeds lack. Great video! Glad I found your channel! I’ll be spreading the word to my buddies to follow you.

    @umami0247 3 года назад +1

    For most new hunters and callers the price is what they will look at. And yes new callers should go double reed calls. And practice is key and that doesn't mean wait till your in the blind for your first duck hunt. I have seen most new callers over do it and that will actually chase ducks way and that doesn't make for good hunting nor getting invited to hunt with the guys your with again. I've been calling for over 40 years and I still use double reed calls up to the point the weather gets cold as these calls will lock up in cold weather more so than the single reeds will. I have two duck calls and one goose on me at a time and one of those is a whistle for drake calling and teal and other whistling ducks. But again price is everything for a bunch of hunters and I myself I won't pay over 100 dollars for a call don't care what it's made of. Though I do prefer wood over poly and I do like resonite or delrin made calls. They have a sound similar to wood but are more durable and cost effective.

    Double nasty 2, tune it till it just starts to buzz when you blow soft and sounds too low when you blow with hard lips. Then take a medium sand paper over the tone board and file off the end at a 45 angle that is approximately 1/2 inches from top of 35 to bottom of 45. Then take a black cake tray from the grocery store and cut two new reeds put a dimple in one with the flex side down and the other will be flex side up for the Reed. Then cut Reed to approximately the length of the bottom of the 45 on the tone board after its set in with a wet corkwith the top Reed being cut at 2/3rds the length of the tone board and bent at a 33° angle. This is start. Then tune it to your voice by flexing the Reed at 3mm increments, more rasp is how much you take of the corners after 1mm taken off the corner you will need to round the Reed instead of a straight corner this can be done with a fingernail cuticle cutter. Then when you have your call flat and low tuned you tune your top Reed. When you do a rolling R with very little air pressure it should sound like wing beats, and if standard pressure it should sound like a high low, and if you pressure ice the call it should stick and you can make teal sounds. If the teal sounds right your mallard call is tuned too high if the teal noise sounds way too dark and kinda hard to maintain its set right for mallards. You can tune a mallard call to teal for early season and mallard for regular season or keep two different ones with different tunes. I tune my open water d-2 to teal and my double nasty2 to mallards. And keep a Woodford for feeding chatter. Wooden calls you use the cedar tone board and take the cedar wedge out and put a cork stopper in it and cut the stopper so it is a plug in the bell like a goose gut. Then you tune them the same way as a j-frame without modifications. As I only carry a drake whistle and a high roller and three mallard calls tuned differently and have landed every kind of duck in my flyway it think it works.

    I just got a Mondo LT. I hunt a cypress/tupelo reservoir and this call seems like a perfect fit for this type of area. I’m in Louisiana and from what I’ve seen over the last 25 years is that not many people in this area use a cut-down style call. It’s definitely taking me some time to get the hang of it. Seems like fast short bursts of air give me the best results. Still can’t make it bark like I want but I guess that will eventually come. Any advice is appreciated - love the videos by the way. Keep it up

    • @jillgen
      @jillgen 3 года назад

      Keep working on loosening your throat and blowing hot air into the call. It takes a lot of practice to get single reeds to sound like a duck and the mondo is on the more difficult side of single reeds to run correctly. It’s just muscle memory so keep practicing on single quacks or barks and eventually you’ll get it

    What is your buddies favorite crow call? You should do a crow hunt vid with him. Turn some waterfowl hunters into crow hunters in the off season. It’s the closest thing to waterfowl hunting. There’s a RUclips vid called “Tennessee Crow Hunt” and the guy is a wildlife biologist and says crows kill more game birds than all hunters combined. Plus they damage crops. I raise pecans for a living and they steal me blind every year. Every morning I have to get outside around daylight to let them know I mean danger to them. They stay away pretty good after they spot me. I think they’re much more challenging to hunt than waterfowl. They’re a much smarter animal. Ranked in the top 5 most intelligent animals in the world. There’s another vid called “Crowbusters why we hunt crows” and it shows the damage they do to other animals.

      Good set of decoys (this is very dependent on what’s flying in the area you hunt)
      Good set of clothing (I recommend a really nice set of waders but I hunt in Louisiana so it’s almost necessary at times down here)
      A reliable shotgun with chokes (pumps are tried and true actions but semis are very good as well but some semis don’t want to cycle everything)
      Good duck hunting ammo (DO NOT BUY LEAD ITS ILLEGAL TO HUNT WITH LEAD, a lot of new hunters try to buy the cheap clay shooting shells but most of them are lead and if you are caught hunting with lead the game warden will fuck your world up)
      A good duck call (I used the duck commander triple threat it’s a triple reed call and it’s just a little easier to blow and learn than a double reed, works just as well)
      I recommend going hunting with family or a friend whose been duck hunting to teach you the ropes and help you identify a flying duck compared to a different flying bird and learn how they act and respond.

      Not the same comparison. However, if you play a wind instrument you’re already ahead because you understand air control. Go for the single reed call 👍🏻

    • @troykaufman5262
      @troykaufman5262 3 года назад

      The biggest difference is on a saxophone you are placing your lower lip on the reed and controlling how the reed vibrates with your lip/ jaw pressure as well as your air support. A duck call has the reeds contained within the barrel and they vibrate freely against a wedge. You can’t control the reed with your mouth or jaw but you can still control your air support and direction/ tongue shape.

    Duck calls have got to be the biggest ripoff in history... the best duckiest call I ever had was a free on that we gave away on mentored hunt... Haydel is a fine call absolutely no reason to buy a $150 duck call! Also you DO NOT need a diver call or a Rice call or a call for migrators etc... total marketing sham.. good video like your channel

    Nice video. But gots to say I've shots hundreds, missed hundreds , decoyed hundreds of ducks without makin a sound. I think they scare the crap out em. lol. I hunted next to a guy 200 yards away for years. He would crank on that call. Alert me to birds. And 90% of time they would come straight to my blind. No kidding. Good video though.

      If you hunt the timber you won't kill many ducks without good calling. They won't ever know you're down there in all those trees without calling them. I've called so many ducks in my life it's crazy. Without the call that wouldn't have been possible.
