Best goose calls

[1963beretta]

1963Beretta,

good luck for your nephews first season. He is going to have some great memories.
My little lad has been tagging along duck hunting for quite a few years. This year he came of age and passed his hunters course. He got his first goose on Waterfowl Heritage day.
I will check out that Zinc call for him. Old picture but they grow fast.

Thanks Warren. And while my nephew has been tagging along on duck and pigeon hunts for the last 5 years, he was never licensed until this year. He had a blast yesterday, but was a little disappointed to find out that ducks are a lot harder to hit then clays on a skeet course

Everything Spank said is accurate. If you want inexpensive calls to learn on, I would recommend a Knight & Hale magnum clucker and a Mick Lacy grand slam short reed call. Both calls will be in the $25 range and from my experience with them, they work very well. The magnum clucker is a plastic call that gives higher pitched calls and the Mick Lacy call is a wood call with deeper tones. I've been using both calls with great success for many years. Are they the best calls on the market? No. But I've learned how to become a very effective caller on both calls. And since I've had success with them, I haven't had a need to replace them with anything more expensive. My K&H call was purchased in 2005 and I believe my Mick Lacy call was purchased in 2009, so they have some good mileage on them

I had a Magnum Clucker that was the bees knees. Someone stole it. The replacement was terrible.
