Grounds Hen Talk

[15thTN]

Drk9988 I love ya brother , but your wrong . Actually dead nuts wrong about the Hen Talk . It’s one of thee loudest calls in my entire collection and you can push it as loud as you have the air for .

As the “Mayor of Realville” anymore around here it’s appearing . I have no biased to any one call nor have I sold my soul out to any one company . I just tell it like it is and can back it up with soundfile for proof if and when need be .

Here is an actual soundfile of the Hen Talk . I’d be comfortable to set up next to anyone with this kind of volume and I don’t think they would do much shooting but don’t take my word for it . Here’s just a taste of the volume and about 50% of what the call can do . Mind you I haven’t blown this call in 10 years so , so cut me some slack .

It has the volume, and I'm surprised it actually rings. That said, the double reed held you back on the very quiet stuff. It fell flat on it's face, and I noticed you shut the recording down right when it did

That is my gripe with doubles. You tune for volume, and you lose the low end. Tune for low end, and you lose the volume. I've got a new run Duck Commander Cutdown Reacher, that is that way. It has volume, but you can't do soft little puts with it. Of course it's made for reaching out there. I'm spoiled by single reeds that can reach out there, but can also get real soft.

Buck Gardners 1 1/2 reed, and Hobos double reed, are the two with extra reeds that I know of that can get soft. There's probably others, but I venture to say probably not many .

BTW have you tried RM calls? RM calls are really good, and much better than those extra reed calls. RM calls are hard to beat. You should really try a RM call. Did I mention how good RM calls are

15th I was about to puke actually lol I just ate dinner about 10 minutes prior to that clip .

As far as your question . I’ve never blown one . I used to collect calls back in the earlier 2000s . Anymore I only collect JJ Lares mostly . I don’t think RM was around when I was doing a lot of collecting but I’ve heard many do love that call just never have run across one myself .

I was saying that in jest. Now that you mentioned RM calls, they're pretty good. I've got a 410, that's everything RNT wanted the Microhen to be, and more! One critique I have, is it's right on the edge of being overly harsh, much like a Lares. On my Mag Hen I had to cut my own reed, with significantly less dog ear, to get most of it out. I'll probably play with the tuning on it, to get that out as well.

Another is it has stuck on me in the house. If past experience is a guide, in hunting conditions it will be much worse. Not necessarily the calls fault, but my gorilla spit. I can lock down everything, but a metal reed. They're made to run soaking at wet! I haven't locked down my Mag Hen though, nor the DCX which has the spit grooves. So there's hope!

Thanks for posting...so much for mute and muffled huh?....BTW...just missed out on a cwf earlier for $80... third one in the last 2 days for under $100....so much for holding value Another is going for $125 or trade for a goose call... and nobody's touched it... just saying

CNC RM's don't necessarily hold value but some do. That's what's your seeing at that price.

Custom hand made RM's you'll never find that cheap unless you get lucky.

just find it odd that so many have shown for sale in such a short period....for being the #1 call and all

You mean like how you can find an Echo or RNT for sale in 10 seconds? The guy sells a bunch of calls, which means you will see them for sale online. You won’t find a custom for sale for any less than $250-300 though.

You have confirmation bias my friend. I like the 410 I have, but I also like the RNTs, and Echos I have as well. They're traded alot more, so I guess they're bigger pieces of junk, going by your logic. To me the lack of Hen Talks, and Double Nastys being traded is more telling, than a few RMs for sale.

No offense, but that sounded like crap. Show a sound file where it sounds good with volume.

I can tell you that the one I have certainly is nowhere near being in the top 5 loudest calls that I have.

Probably because people tend to keep what works... I'd never sell my best call...the "expendables"? sure...but not the truly good ones. The amount of RNT'S and Echos is definitely in correlation with the huge numbers they have sold to the masses
