Where is the excitement

[tjwatty]

kt,
I feel your pain, I have been using a Big River flute and went to a Fred Harvey flute, (basically the same) just won't give me the sounds I want. I have a friend who gives seminars on goose calling and he uses a Foiles Straight Meat, I think. One of the high end Foiles calls at any rate, I've spent the better part of 6 hrs working with the short reed Foiles and am just now beginning to get where I think it sounds the way it should. I don't think I am going to master it to my level of satisfaction by season so I will go back to good ole "Freddy" probably forgetting all I have learned until next year. But I will master that short reed or else.
I think the old adage of ,you get what you pay for, in goose calls is very applicable. I have drawers full of $20 calls that sounded good in the store but suck in the blind/cold.
I call way more ducks anyway so I'll let the others call geese and I'll stick to corn buzzards, for now.
