I called ducks with it and even turned some that had worked to but soured on the MVP, but I never had a time when I felt it had as much leverage, much less more, than that current loud favorite. And I felt my old Daisy Cutter did better with birds in need of something different.

Nope. Know they're one of the current call forum darlings, but never heard anything on the sound files of them that's prompted me to bite.

I try not to bite on the latest fad, but after running one, it immediately became one I had to have.

You're more than welcome to try mine if you're interested...

Thanks, but this is my slow time of year and the last thing a weak soul like me needs to find right now is a new toy I "have to have".

Today at 12:28 in the afternoon a throwback illinois cut was on sale in the other site classifieds.
Mallard green with black insert, $110 shipped.
At 2:30pm it was already sold.
I've heard that it's incredibly stupid to fuck around with a crazy man's head.

Thread-jacking being the oldest of traditions here on WFF, I'm going to do just that and ask if anyone really knows that the deep, coarse rasp/rattle most consider "an old boss hen" sound is, in fact, that? Or are the coarsest calls we hear from ducks not the result of too many Marlboros and too much whiskey for too many years but young birds still getting their voices together, and the higher, cleaner tones often called "young hen" really that of older birds?

Can anyone make a case one way or the other? I can, but it's somewhat tenuous.

How about we just take your experience into account and believe you without making you explain yourself?

This ain't your first rodeo, Rick.

I wouldn't take my word for it, cause while I know it's at least often the case with specks that the young ones are horse and coarse, I just don't know about ducks - and am embarrassed to say I had a friend here yesterday I might have learned something from if I'd had the presence of mind to ask. He's a bird collector who's had permits to raise about everything (don't know how that works) and also raises ornamental English caller mallards, the drake culls of which I train my pups with. (Quickly learned I did not want the hens anywhere near my house.) Not a lot of folks have watched and listened to as many hen ducks from the egg to maturity as he. Need to give him a call.

As for that first rodeo, I still haven't been. Closest I've come was punching a big, ol' tall Dr. Seuss looking Brahma behind her ear to distract her from a fellow she had down in the pen. That worked, and I hauled ass away from him and scrambled up the pipe fence. Reckon anyone who'd seen her catch me in the crotch with her nose as I was going over the fence top and flick me back into the pen with her knows the origin of rodeo "clown".

If you ever start considering an Echo, don't do it. Spend the extra $20 on the regulator and be done with it. Much higher quality call.

It wasn't a whole lot but even Spencer will tell you that the regulator is better quality.

I have not cared a lot for Echo calls. They are well regarded by many though
