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.
