Does anyone have any experience with these calls? Supposibly they were discontinued in the 90's. They are hard to find for sale. I hear they are a pretty ducky call. One article I read by Phil Robertson is that the FBI ran tests on the call and compared pretty closely to a real hen.

Roy,

If that is true, my suggestion would be to contact the FBI and request a copy of their report.[/font][font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica] It might be interesting reading.

Hey Jack! if Phil says it was FBI tested, you better believe it; 'cause 95% of what he and Si says is true!

Ba - whooom!

On the other hand: Do you suppose that the FBI would pay fror my travel expenses, meals and hotel room if I were to take some of my calls to the FBI Duck Call Testing Facility (I think it's in the Cayman Islands) for testing and certification?

I'll even go if one call a year is allowed to be tested with compensation for the trip.

I have a Mallard Cutdown Reacher DC-800 it is not a bad sounding call. The package says "Duck Commander calls have been voice-analysis tested and proven duckiest of all." The package of my Duck Commander Classic Edition DC200 says the same thing.

The cutdown reacher sounds good, good quacks, chuckles and hail calls. Makes plenty of sound without a lot of air. I prefer the Original wood Duck Commander or the plastic Brown Sugar. However, I like a little softer mellower sounding calls for my hunting.

Can you see setting that voice analysis testing protocol up? First you need a duck

And, of course, all ducks within a species will sound the same. ;-)

I think we can all agree that the Robertsons are Marketing Commanders as well.
 
Im kind of on a duck call buying spree.... And the Robertson had me sold on the old DC-800 :p. Would be nice to find one to add to the lanyard.
 
The package from my DC-800 says I paid 17.99 back when I bought it and the DC-200 was 12.99. I think prices have gone up since I bought mine.
 
If your heart is really set on one, post up on duckboats classifieds, or write/call/email the Duck Commander factory. If they don't make them anymore, I'm sure they'll direct you to the call currently in their line that is the best replacement for that call.

The more important question you gotta ask is, "If that model of Duck Commander really was so great, why aren't they makin' it anymore?" Why would any call maker, who made a call that made sounds so perfect the FBI checked it out and was able to market it (for profit) at under $20, stop making that call? And why would hunters allow them to drop that call line? I'm just sayin'.......that line of thought isn't logical, even for southern rednecks, or should I say especially for southern rednecks.

But I am sure that if you are willing to pay a good price for a cutdown duck commander, you will be able to find someone with one who is willing to part with their personal heirloom.... Maybe Si?
