DUCK CALLS

I use the same musical instrument select grade wood in my duck call line that I use in my turkey pots and whitetail deer grunt tubes. I also offer duck calls in high grade acrylic and polycarbonate. Duck calls have a long history in North America, with documented call makers dating back to as early as 1850. A host of call styles have been produced and used over the years with varying degrees of success. However, the Arkansas-style duck call, made famous by the pioneering Stuttgart, AR call maker Chick Major, has become the most popular call design. The versatile Arkansas-style call is what I handcraft here at Homochitto Hollow Woodworks. And as always, I individually handcraft and tune each duck call. If I wouldn't use it, I won't sell it.
There are many different schools of thought on what technique is best for imitating the sounds that ducks make; however, every duck call should be able to create three basic calls. The basic types of calls are the quack, the feed call, and the comeback or hail call. The quack is a short, sharp note that is the most used in waterfowl hunting. The feed is a sequence of rapid short notes of varying pitch that imitate ducks eating. The comeback or hail call are the loudest and longest notes, typically used to get the attention of ducks that are at a considerable distance from the blind. Homochitto Hollow Woodworks duck calls are capable of producing each of these sounds.
The two most common high quality duck call materials are wood and acrylic. The key difference between wood and acrylic duck calls is that acrylic calls are much louder and carry much further than wood duck calls. This is important for different types of duck. Each material differs in price, durability, volume and sound quality. Wood is the traditional medium for most call makers. With the proper machinery, wood is easy to work with and results in a beautiful duck call with a smooth, realistic sound. Acrylic has become the most popular material for high-end duck calls. While acrylic is more difficult to mill than wood and more expensive, its in-field durability is exceptional and sound quality is superb. Acrylic is unaffected by moisture and temperature extremes. Polycarbonate is also an exceptional call material. Calls constructed of polycarbonate will be durable, impervious to weather, and in the right hands, will consistently call ducks. Polycarbonate is a good material for heavy-use field calls. Polycarbonate inserts can be used in both my wood calls and acrylic calls.
