You know KT..I have all kinds of goose calls.. Even have some of the current ones. Although I like the Eastern Shoreman calls I have..In my estimation they are all really unnecessary. The Old OLT 77 and Olt 800 calls worked for years..still work and will continue to work. Most of the high end calls are made not to lure geese into your spread but to lure yer money away from your pocket to theirs.. Especially the plastics..even the acrylics. Hell they just make 'em in a mould. Now they sound good and people go all out learning to use 'em and all.. but the fact is many of those calls are designed and made to use in calling contests etc. Make people think you have the next new best call and oy vey..here comes the money. Even Sean Mann's calls were designed originally for the Eastern Shore goose hunting seasons. He, like many of us, guided. His calls were made out of wood. Many don't even know where the sound board and reeds all came from. But he won a goose calling contest and now he no longer works at the bank..He is an entrepreneur. More power to him and the others who want you to think you ain't got the best...if ya ain't got theirs. Never entered a calling contest..but I and many like me were in on the demise of hundreds of thousands of geese...with the old cheap lowly 6 dollar calls. We used what worked. We were workin killin geese...for the money and for the hunting. We couldn't afford to go rent property to hunt waterfowl. Not dissing you man...just saying...it ain't the call...its the caller. BTW go HUNTING...that work thingie will kill ya
At least that's what I told my wife.
