What is a “CUT-DOWN” Duck Call?
A CUT-DOWN duck call is a duck call that has been modified and the tone board cut or reshaped from its original design. This provides more realism and variety to your calling. It provides a very effective sound and gives you an edge over the hunters around you. The CUT-DOWN has evolved dramatically and become the call to hunt with.

Kirk you’re a big supporter of public land hunting. Do you have any tips for a successful duck hunt on flooded timber?
Success is based on planning, organization & good hunting skills. The greatest skill of all on public land is circumventing people.
Basic duck hunting skills work today and the ducks don’t care how much money you have in your wallet or your bank account or what truck you drove to the boat launch. Duck hunting can be for anybody and everybody.
