Not really. We probably kill more by using steel. All those wounded and crippled birds go off somewhere and die.

Also, if you are already getting your bag limit while using steel, how can you kill more? LOL

With that said, I agree. As little as I hunt nowadays, I hunt only with Hevi-Shot. Probably costs just as much in diesel to hunt as it does in ammo.

KT - this is what I say to everybody. If you want it and can afford it, then buy it. I've bought some duds over the years too. The problem is that a lot of people disagree on what the term "afford" means. Some, like me, look at it as we have saved for retirement for the year, saved for our kids' education, but money away, and we still have money left over, so we can afford it. Others look at it as they still have available credit on their credit cards so they can afford it.

fabs, i agree. i am trying to get my girlfriend to understand the true meaning of AFFORD.
but any how. i have recieved the super thang. it sure is pretty and comfortable to use. how ever it advertises having such a deep bottom end and i am having trouble finding it. Its there, but you have to be absolutely perfect with the back pressure to find it. i am dying to take it apart and move the reed a bit. but i will give it a few weeks before that to make sure it isnt just my calling style.
but the call doesnt work that well, i tried it saturday and didnt have a goose within 1/2 a mile of our field!

I went through the "afford" issue with a girlfriend/fiance of mine. Thankfully we broke up before the wedding and I found my wife a year later. Anyway, the "afford" bit is what put a fork in that relationship. She and I were on completely different levels when it came to long term goals, monetary planning, and fiscal responsibility. Then I met my wife, who is more frugal than me. The ex-fiance would lose $1,000 playing slots and not even bat an eye lash. She was at the point of spending $100+ a week on bingo. For Christmas she spent $1,500 on friends and relatives, and said when we had kids she planned on spending $1,000+ per kid. It was a complete nightmare.

As far as the call is concerned, give it some time. I take both my cheap flute and Tim Grounds call with me whenever I goose hunt. If the birds don't respond to one, I try the other. However, for the most part I have had the most success with the cheap flute, as I already mentioned. Sometimes, I use the Tim Grounds call when they are circling the decoys because I find it easier to get a lot of clucking in with it, and I am usually the only caller, so I need it. Good luck with the calling, the hunting, and the girlfriend.
