calls & decoys

Below are some of our favorite calls & decoys. We’ve had success with all of these and they have earned our stamp of approval. Essential for duck and turkey hunting season. 

Gear Duel Approved
Piscifun Torrent Baitcasting Rod
The Duck Commander is a tried and true call. The Pro Series is the easiest and best one we've tested so far.
turkey calls
There is a lot of debate in the turkey hunting community about what the best style of call is. Personally we like scratch plates but any one of these can bring in a bird. The nice thing about ESH is you can try out three types of calls and see which you like best.
The ESH is a great starter set but we know what we like already and we like the STRUT COMANDER Ole Scratch Slate Turkey Pot Call. A little more of a learning curve than a box call but we think it's worth it.
mallard decoy
Flambeau Outdoors decoys offers a few great options depending on what you're hunting. They have Mallards, Pintails, Wigeon, and Wood Duck decoys. They come in floaters and full body styles. We tested the Mallard floaters and we limited out by mid-morning.
avian-x turkey decoy
There are a lot of choices when it comes to turkey decoys. We like the Avian-X Hen decoy. If you are only going to buy one, we prefer the "feeder" position over "alert," but one of each goes nicely together. Avian does offer a decoy with adjustable head positions but we don't think it is worth the extra money.
The Illusions Extinguisher & Black Rack Calling System is a deadly combo. The extinguisher is a field tested call with realistic sounds that are adjustable to sound like a Buck, Doe, or Fawn. The Black Rack makes extremely realistic antler-like sounds while the black rack keeps you concealed. This is the #1 rated deer call system on the market for good reason.
