Canada goose call?

[Ucsdryder]

I have a few hundred dollars worth of duck and speck calls but I’m going honker hunting and need to figure out how to make a honk. What’s a good beginner call? The cheaper the better!

I my group we have drc, molt gear , foiles and grounds. I like my drc life sentence for the big honkers up here . My buddies blows his ground half breed really well. Non of those are really cheap. My kid bought a pacific 509 and he likes that one. Cheap you could just get a bigger river flute if you’re hunting big geese. If you’re hunting the little ones I don’t think that would be a good fit. Haven’t really heard any of the cheap ones that can get fast enough or sound that good for lessers.

Mick Lacy Chinook if you can find one.

My buddy just bought a cheap Buck Gardner. I played with it a bit and might grab one myself.

Cheaper than that? Just get a decent flag

Depending upon location, you can use the human voice and say “get off my lawn”or use your car horn-that seems to have them gather in mass right in front of you

The Zink PC-1 and the RNT Goozilla sound good for what they cost. Looks like the RNT may be discontinued, but FF is showing it in stock.

If you want to spend a little more I'd get a Tim Grounds poly super mag.

My advice would be to buy one on sale from a reputable call maker (don’t matter which) and keep working on that one til you can really make it sing. Then go somewhere that has a bunch you can try out and find what fits your style the best. And when the time comes to hunt, leave your call at home. I’m only half kidding there. I find that 99% of the time the best way to kill geese is by being quiet.

I haven't used it in many many years but way back I used a Haydel's Honker call. I thought it was pretty easy to learn on and make all the proper noises and it seemed to work. What say you all? Is that one still a viable call?
