goose call

Wondering what would be a good starter short reed goose call. My son has started field hunting, and the call he has is to high pitched. Not looking to break the bank. Thanks in advance.

Might be able to pull the Guts out slightly to get a deeper sound

Take him to some place that carries some waterfowl gear and have him try some higher end polycarbonate calls or lower end acrylic calls. Poly should run in the 20-50 dollar range, acrylic in the 80-200 dollar range. Each brand feels a little different. Some take more back pressure, some take less. Only way to know which one will work for him is to have him try them out. Then make sure he is using guttural body when he's calling. Essentially, using his voice combined with air to crate a buzz or deeper sound sound. Youtube it.

Tim Grounds Super Mag Poly Goose Call

The Tim Grounds Super Mag Poly Goose Call produces a full range of sounds from soft clucks to loud honks. This Tim Grounds call has won several world championships. SCHEELS

I have the acrylic version of this. The poly won't sound quite as rich but this a fairly easy call to blow. Doesn't require the air or back pressure that some of the zink and molt gear calls do.

Zink power clucker, I’ve got tons of high end calls but that one will kill birds and is easy to blow.

Couldn't agree more.

Personally I prefer higher pitched calls, but for a deeper sounding call in that range, I'd concur about the Power Clucker (PC-1) from Zink, the Raptor from Field Proven and the Poly Super Mag from Tim Grounds. The last 2 are my favorites in the Poly realm

Thanks for the help. I got him the power clucker. We will see if that helps. The call he has is the field proven raptor so maybe its just his use of the call or my use of my ears. Thanks again

Final Flight Calls makes a great short reed goose call. Get with Danny and he can hook you up. Best part, you have and issue with the call, send it back to him and he will correct the issue. Just a thought.

The FP Raptor is not too high pitched with the stock tuning.

It’s probably operator error, and so the Power Clucker won’t help.

Find him a copy of “Bad Grammer” on eBay and thank me later.
