"I've duck hunted for many years and this is one of my favorite calls. It is a low calling call. When the ducks a skidish about a high tuned call you can bring em on in with this low sounding call"

"For the first couple years I tried to blow expensive calls but could not get that true duck sound down. I bought a DR-85 and started blowing it and got the true "ducky" sounds down in a matter of days. It has a great sound and is very easy to blow. My friends and I hunt everyday in anything from flooded corn to timber and this call sounds great in any hunting situation. I would recommend this call to anyone that wants to learn how to call ducks the right way."

Good Call, Great Price!

"Yet another duck call I received for Christmas, this time from my younger cousins. Now, I've used a DR-85 before and loved it. In my opinion, it should be everyone's 1st duck call. Easy to use, very forgiving. As you become more experienced, you'll crave something better, but for those just getting started, you can't go wrong with this call. It will need to be replaced after a couple of years, but for the price it's really not that big of a deal."

"god bless haydel, this call is close to perfect . a very easy call to blow . one of the easiest calls to learn on or to add something different to your call arsonal. this call put out a mid tone that can be used on open water or in the timber has proven to be very affective in both. the only down fall to this call for me as the shape being a smaller diameter call it makes it a little hard to keep hold of with frigid hands.. other than that a great call!!!"
