i've been watching duck dynasty and laughing my azz off.
but i got to thinking ???
they have a multy million dollar business going on, because of making calls.
are they any good ?
which models ?
i've read a bit on them, and think the picker model may do me good or ole raspy.
anyone use any of them ?

The original Duck Commander is good. I bet the others are too.
I dont believe you have to spend a lot to get a good duck call.

I have two currently. My oldest one is their cane call, I believe not made any longer. They do well on ducks from the east, west, south and north. MTG

They are pretty good. It's really good for the standards (quacks and moderate greeting/comback calls). They are not much for cajun squeals, bouncing hen, or hen squeaks. For most people this is fine.

Duck calls are one of those things you get what you pay for and DC calls are cheap by most standards...

I have seen some pretty crude calls work. I believe a good caller can make a bad call sound good.

I have a friend who is the best caller I have heard, He can turn birds like crazy. Works with an old call that was modified by replacing the tone board and reed on an old Yantzen body. No more than 40 dollars in parts. I see 200 dollar calls and there is no way you are getting a sound upgrade from good calls that cost less.
I am not into Duck TV or any of the Hunting TV. The internet is bad enough at wasting time keeping me from being outdoors.
I used to only shoot shotguns and rimfires, then I made the mistake of getting a subscription to handloader.......

I have the duck picker and am a beginner at calling. It's been great and is easy to get great sounds from right out of the package. I like it and the show!!
may all your projectiles fly true!!

They make some decent calls. You do not need to spend $200 on an duck call made out of material designed for NASA to convince ducks to land.
Practice and experience are worth more than a high priced call.

It's amazing those old Herter Vit Glodo calls stacked them up at all, let alone every time.

Every few year DU sends me a call for sending my renewal. I have several. A couple are the best sounding calls I have heard. Why buy when free ones come in the mail. I like the little ducks also.
