Goose calls

Looking to buy a goose call under a $100. What is the best brand to buy and what series?

yep i blow a flute vs. my good hunting buddy that dominates the short reed(i just cant get the short reed). and i feel between both of us can call in some of the shyeist birds. (with the help of 36 full body decoys)

Thanks Wood!! Keeping your hands warm is pertty simple. I like to shove them between my neoprene hip waders and my bibs. Especially while sitting. Works great! Otherwise, kinda like hook-25 said..... Just say'n

I use to blow a flute but now all I blow is short reeds. There is so much more you can do with ithem. Don't get me wrong flutes are great. My buddie Gander blows a flute and he can do some things with a flute that most people can't. Hand warmers are a must in the late season. Don't wear gloves blowing calls. A great call around a 100.00 is the mortal sin from straight down game calls. If you have him shave the reed its even better and you can blow it with one hand.

Ever heard of putting handwarmers in your pockets...then put your hands in your pockets?!?!

Short reed calls can produce a wider variety of sounds and more realistic tones than flute style calls. It's also nice to not have a foot long call on your lanyard. Any call will sound worse with gloves, short reed, flute, duck calls, they all sound muffled and unrealistic. The unfortunate reality of waterfowl hunting is that if you want to sound good late season you're going to have cold hands.

So if that's the case why are they so popular around here? If you like to hunt in tennis shoes yeah they're great, but late season they suck. It just seems crazy to me that's all you really see now a days.

Comes with the territory. Won't sound worth a darn.......

I'm resurrecting this post from the dead. My old flute call finally gave out on me last season. I decided to make the change from a flute to a short reed (Zink call of death), and it was tough at first but once I got the hang of it I was impressed.......until now. On cold hunts I'm now doubting my switch from a flute to a short reed. I can't call worth a damn with gloves on and that makes it really difficult this time of year. Taking my gloves off every time to use the call is getting ridiculous. Anyone else have this problem? I'm now thinking I need both.

Before this past season. They are a decent call, esp for the price. Better than some of the more expensive calls I have.

FIr na tin how long ago did you buy the toxic calls?

Benelli thank you for getting us back on the topic!!!

Good calls under $100. Delerin Lynch mob goose noose polycarb saunders reload Heartland flatline Grounds poly mag olt a50 Hope this did not offend anyone!

And Gazoo I do not paint my face and am not part of the "Toxic" crew. I have lots of calls and like to get different ones that I have not tried.

I bought some a while ago and when I looked at them now they are the same price as then. $85 duck and $95 goose.

I was going to buy a toxic call since they were only around $80 but saw that they raised the price so now im going to buy a call that i know is good....
