I'm in the market for an echo and wanted to get your thoughts on what would be a good choice. I've tried a few and liked the meat hanger and pure meat calls.

I know it all depends on your style and personal preference but give me some info!

I've used a Meat Hanger and DRT. Not a fan of either one. From what I've heard the XLT is their best call out of the lineup. Pretty sure the Meat Hanger and Pure Meat are the same call, just had the name changed once Hobo got off the ground.

Didn't you like the double more then the single? Ace in Gridley carries them so does kittles. Best of luck on your journey.

One is a double the other is a single.

Gotcha. Then they must have been designed by Kent Cullum when he worked for Echo. Honestly don't know a lot about Echo, just that the ones I tried had too much hold and squeal for me to use them.

Meat hanger and pure meat? Could their names be any more queer?

Posted: **Thu Nov 07, 2013 12:17 am**

What kind of volume are looking for?

They found out 'duck dick' was already taken by a guy in Michigan.

Mid range with an ability to get low.

They are nice people over there. Not a waterfowl store if you know what I mean. Just a hardware store with hunting stuff.

XLT or the meat hanger will be your best bet for that volume. I have a meat hanger and it can reach up pretty high and get very low as well.

All the XLT is, is an extra loud timber hence the initials. That if I'm not mistaken was one of the very first calls out of their lineup and has stood the test of time very well.

Thanks for all the info gentlemen. I normally use 3 different calls right now. The ph-2, macro hen, and diablo. I'm kinda leaning towards a single reed because I mostly use doubles but at the same time if I like the meat hangers sound better why change. God I love and hate buying calls!

xlt or timber. The timber has a great low end and mid range. Out of all the 1/4" bores I've ran it has the capability of the most volume. Very surprising mid range with one of the best low ends out there.

Don't be such a tightwad, join Ducks Unlimited and get a free Buck Gardner call. (signature series with the DU logo) :boobs:

I'm not very brand loyal. Just like killing ducks and ill use any call that helps me do that.

Posted: **Thu Nov 07, 2013 1:22 pm**

My best duck call is the silver lid/cup on my thermos. Whenever I bring that bastard to my mouth, ducks appear. Maybe not close enough to shoot yet, but they damn sure appear.

Unsnapping the clips to waders to take a piss does that too...

I just have to look in one direction for more then a minute. Birds magically appear and back door me.

My favorite calls are Iverson Calls. Don't think I own any plastic calls.
