And the verdict is...

From the "Your call may be a little late" thread:
We saw, and that call proved about as versatile as a call could be and earned its "permanent" loop on the lanyard.
Also gave a Lares T1 a go and found it a nice little call, but not one that could bump anything I now use.
Wanted to try an Alan Stanley Deceiver but got no response from Stanley to either e- or voicemail. Perhaps he's packed it in?
Anyway, what's new with you guys? Anyone else try anything new and exciting - or not?

Isn't, to my ear, as dead on the real deal as the teal tuned MVP I also use, but a September bluewing season of side-by-side comparison found the DC appreciably more effective in the marsh, while the MVP was tops over ag land. Have no idea why that might be, but it was time and again.
Given it's versatility for that and other extra squacky species, as well mallards, it's going to start the season in what's long been the original version Microhen's "quiet" call loop. And I'm guessing the birds will keep it there, but we'll see...
