Duck Picker

THE DUCK PICKER
Phil Robertson, the Duck Commander, has built his reputation as a hardcore duck hunter, as well as for his superb calls and heart-stopping video series. New for this season is the Duck Picker that asks the question of waterfowl hunters, "Want to reach up and pick 'em out of the sky?"

"This is the duck call that will do it," Phil says.

A result of 30 years of call making and perfecting that exact ducky sound, the Duck Picker blows wet, dry and in between, long, medium and short range, and works equally well in green timber, on open fields or big water.

Quaker Boys Shorty Hybrid

QUAKER BOY GOOSE CALLS
I have amassed a sizable collection of calls over the years, but necessity forces me to pick a very few to hang around my neck when I go afield. When the game is Canada geese, I most often rely on a Quaker Boy, thanks to functionality, price and success.

Quaker Boys Wingmaster

New this year is the Shorty Hybrid Goose Flute, which offers the best of both worlds. The Shorty is built like a blown-type call but with a short reed. The sound quality produced is comparable to a flute-type call. This call produces excellent calls with minimal practice. The retail price is $19.99.

The Wingmaster Goose Call is user-friendly and very realistic. It works like a standard blown-type goose call, yet has the sound quality of a modern flute call. Its simple-to-master quality and low $19.99 price make it tough to beat.
