FWIW- a pal won a Zink goose call at a DU Banquet a few years ago-he is a better called than I will ever be, and his comment_ "I'll keep it as I won it, but I wouldn't pay retail for one"> One thing I notice, in the call, shotgun and decoy ads in the DU magazine and also in Shooting Sportsman as well- the guys in the ads almost always have a big necklace of leg bands on their multi-call lanyards- reminds me in some way of the "brag patches" seen at trap and skeet clubs no so long ago-- But-- as I agree with the "no rattle-no shine" military mantra, I have the varnish on my wooden calls worn off, and pick up my empty hulls, sunny day or not. But all those leg bands came from some bird's leg at one time or another, and the call makers know to "sell the sizzle with the steak"_ Hope my few words on tactics help you get your birds this coming season too.
