Hey call whores
So my 5th anniversary is coming up in December. The "traditional" grift is something made of wood. I want a nice wooden call made(not a shelf call, one to actually hunt with). Give me some suggestions. Lares and RM Custom calls are on the short list.

Lares are awesome. RM look like garbage.

They aren't...nice try though.

It's not the most beautiful call and it won't turn human heads but a cocobola Commander-and-chief will turn ducks heads.

Either of those would be great. Don't overlook Doc Hull from Nebraska.

You know RH, I've looked at those calls several times and came really close to buying one a time or two, I just have a hard time wanting to spend that much money on a DC call. I've got a couple of the cheaper ones and had no problems killing ducks with them. Just feel funny about the CIC calls for some reason...no offense meant.
Never heard of him nitro...I'll check him out.

Doc Hull makes a bad azz call. Great sound, craftsmanship and materials. All of Doc's wood calls are custom. Get one in Ironwood if you don't have a call from that wood..
He can build a basic call to the full blown fancy show calls. I highly recommend him..

It's made of bamboo and I can get some notes that ducks can get down to:

I don't have a wooden Lares call, I do have an acrylic one though, it's a nice one. I have 4 or 5 wooden calls made by Johns Spotts, they are good looking, sound good, and you can get them for less then $70. He and his wife sell them on eBay and they will engrave anything you want on them. I have two matching calls, one I bought about a year ago, and the other I had made when my son was born with his name and birth date enscribed on it that matched mine. Both have a metallic duck head attached to it.
(Lares on left, my sons in the middle, and mine on the right)
If I was going to buy something right now that you knew you could find on the market, it would be a Kirk McCullough modified keyhole Olt. I have one already, but he quit cutting Olt's a while back and I can see the prices for those going up considerably in the future. It's a plastic call though.
On my short list, is an Iverson call. I already have a whistle. You're going to have to spend at the least $250-$300 though.

Besides, I'm not a call whore.

Re: Hey call whores
That's just stupid. I'm not much into call collecting but as far as appearance, RM has some of the sweetest looking calls out there.

Looks like all they use is Echo inserts.

I would highly reccomend a particular Yentzen, but some Old Man bought every single one in the factory when they quit production.
Doc Hull makes a beautiful duck call. I own several.
Dont forget to check out our Sponsors at Big Lake Duck Calls. They are locally made and will custom fit to match your style.

DN, I've been wanting a Chein for a long time too. Almost as bad as a Lares.
HH#12, I remember you telling me about those Spotts last year. Thanks for the reminder.
RH, I've notice that about you.
Ill check out those Betts and Harper Bottoms.
Someone, maybe you Hagen, has a thing for Watkins calls. I really want to like them, but I haven't heard a sound clip that perked up my ear yet.

That's exactly what I thought.

Close but not quite. Mine got eaten 2 labs ago or I would take a pic... Old Man is hoarding all of the rest.

Not me, I don't own a Watkins call. I didn't mention Big Lake because I've never blown one of their wooden calls. I'll highly recommend the D2T2 model they make. Romeo mentioned them last year but I didn't pay it much attention because they're double reeds and I had never had one I liked. I blew one at the Classic and loved it. It's one of the top 3 sounding calls I own.
