Look into Gander Valley Goose Calls...I have the powerhouse and like it so far this season. They have a variety of calls and the next one i'm looking into is the Triple X by gander valley. I've heard a lot of good things about lynch mob calls as well, but have not used one personally. Good luck.

My recommendation for a do it all call, would be the GK Canuck or Little Giant :mrgreen: . The Canuck has a ton of range and is easy to use, A little bit more of a higher pitch call. The Little Giant can be tuned to hunt anything from lessers to the big guys. And don't forget about the Giant Slayer delrin call. Big honker sound in a cheaper package. Give Bob or Glenn a call at Gk Calls and talk with them. And by the way, they have some of the best customer service in the business :thumbsup: .

BDK, I don't own any of these calls so I won't offer any opinion, but just a thought....the four calls you mention are relativly new calls on the scene, and they all have their fair share of good reviews...but when looking at the classifieds on the various waterfowl sites I notice some of these same calls offered for sale or trade quite often and find that interesting....?

Keeping that thought in mind.....my experiences afield is this,, it greatly helps if the birds want to be where you set up, (X field) the calling part of it, possibly the least important, I've shot many geese with just clucks/moans/murmurs, those sounds can be done with most calls out there and what I've found in my buying/trading of calls is that many (not all) of them sound alike, or can be tuned to sound alike and/or slightly different.
So in getting back to my initial statement, I wonder if the sellers/traders of the higher end newer calls are finding the same thing after they buy them, and then realize they can make the same sounds (and kill geese) with their old favorite calls... so these new calls end up in the classifieds.
Good luck in your decision and good hunting.

It depends on your syle and air into the call....I've found that most of the LMC (Lynch Mob) calls take very little air to run. Plus you can get the same sound operating with one hand/ as with two. My favorite LMC to date is the Lawmaker both in wood and acrylic. I've also found the "FP Matrix" to run the same way! GVCC's calls sound great, but take just a bit more air to run. My experience...All 3 are on my lanyard! :thumbsup:

wow, that's an assortment of calls right there! Make sure you figure out what you want out of your call before you make a decision. Too many guys purchase a call because it sounds good, or its easy to run, and don't bother thinking about what the want the call to do. Do you want a loud call, that's easy to run and has good range? Do you want something that requires less air and is quieter? Do you want something that fits right in your hands? Do you want something that feels right on your lips? What kind of sound are you looking for, high pitched, low pitch, good range? There are a lot of factors that you should at least consider before dropping a hundred or more bucks on a dang goose horn. I don't want to sound pompass or like a jerk (doesn't usually work out for me like that though :rolling: ), but based on that assortment of calls, I'd have a hunch that you haven't really considered many of those factors because those calls are all very different and all run very different. Best thing you can do is find a place that carries a bunch of calls near your place, go in, ask some questions, and run a ton of different calls. Chances are the one you might end up with itsn't even on your list! Isn't that what we want though? The one that fits and works, not necessarily the one we have in our head we need? :thumbsup:

The COD is a great call. I also see that you have a couple field proven calls listed. The Field Proven Matrix from what I've been told is the best call Field Proven makes. I don't think you can go wrong with any Field Proven calls though. Hope this helps.
