Anybody own this call? Like it or not? Why or why not? I usually just tap on my mallard call when them gadwalls are workin, but just curious on thoughts?

I've seen the call, and I saw some dude on tv using it. To me it sounded pretty much like a mallard call and it seems to me that you could just use what you've got. That's what I've always done with pretty good success.

I have one and i have put Grey ducks on the water with it and i have seen them go the other way to. I think it helps some just like a pintail whistle when you have several callers in the pit with you and ya'll are putting it all together.

Haydel's is the best sounding. I used one last year and a buddy used a DC. No comparison. Those grayducks would answer that Haydels every time.

I agree. The DC gadwall sounds like there is a ring to it,and the Haydels doesn't do that.But, my Haydels would stick all the time, the DC never has. Illinois River makes one that I would like to try. Where I hunt, we get a lot more" grays" than we do "greens".

You can make the same "call" with any decent single reed. Its just one less thing to have to carry.

We always jerk the hell out the jerk string or kick in the water to make splashing sounds. Make that mer mer sound with your mouth and hold on tight cause they are to dumb to stop coming in.

Hands down buy a Haydel Gadwall......We kill the crap out of Gadwall at Beaver Dam in Tunica and with out a doubt the Haydell sounds more realistic. The haydel call was responsible for about 500 deaths last year.

got one i'll give you

i personally think a gadwall call ranks right up there with the duck commander the big green drake whistle

Ha ha ha nice. You forgot a safety whistle also. Come on now.

DC gadwall call sounds about as real as it gets been using mine since 1997 it has called in 100 of grays into the decoys and mallards also to me it works when mallards calls don't gadwalls are our #1 duck for us 400 gadwalls have died in my blind last year and it just another tool to use

Ive got a gadwall call, Haydels... I have just as much luck with a regular mallard call. Just a bump here and there.... It does the trick! I do carry it in my bag to give someone that is not good on a call....... Dont forget silence kills too! Good luck this year fellas!
