That seems familiar but I really don’t recall.
I want to say door stop but I’m just not positive.
We used to hunt some of RNTs ground if we had too. If there was no others birds in the area except there. Lots of pintails in the feels and butch wouldn’t throw the door waiting on the mallards.

Back in those days greenheads were king still are but it was very prevalent then. Nothing like green tree mallards but those field pintails are cool too. We actually had about 200 pintail work a large timber hole we were in. The fields were locked up and the timber wasn’t far from it. They acted like they were coming in but sailed that last swing.
I kinda remember the RNT call thing but not exactly. Seems like he made a snide comment about RNT calls. Butch and Danny and the gang used Alvin and Grovers calls which led me to them.
My buddy Shan is friend with chick majors grandson. He was using chicks jigs to make calls one year but I never got one. We were there when The Echo team won and made a name for themselves. Never owned one of their calls but they are good calls.

Dad always blew a "Hambone" call made by Mr. Amaden in Lonoke, Arkansas (home to the Remington ammunition plant).
He still has several and I have a couple. I guess he got them in the 1960s and 70s. The reed was, or is (still original) hard and it took some doing to make it run. I never could get the sound right. I'm not a good caller.

I bought a one of those new Yentzens when they first came out. I do like it but it is different to run. I have some cut downs that are aggressive and guaranteed to flare field birds.
To me calls are way less effective than they were 15 plus years ago. Birds get hammered and call shy pretty quick it seems.

I remember hearing my dad and his friends saying this about 40 years ago. LOL.
How do you get involved with duck calling competitions in AL, I’ve never heard of it here in the state. I’ve seen the turkey calling comps for years but thought duck calling comps were a treat for the boys to the north up in Arkansas
Alabama's duck calling championship has been going on for 50 years. It has fallen on tough times the last few years due to lack of interest from callers, other things attracting attention, etc. Typical stuff. It has bounced around from Northport in the early 90s at Woods 'n Water, to Huntsville in late 90s as part of a summer outdoors show, to Mark's in B'ham after that. I don't know where it is held now. In 2018 it was held at the Tennessee Valley Hunting & Fishing show at the VBC. The show wasn't held this summer. State Duck C'ship on the BookFace -- https://www.facebook.com/pages/cate...e-Duck-Calling-Contest-1544382869110253/Stuttgart Chamber of Commerce has contacts for all the state and region events. You could contact the Alabama director to find info: http://www.stuttgartarkansas.org/qualifying-contests.html
