Post Duck & Geese Calls

Started hunting last year and I'm looking to buy some calls for this season, wondering what people recommend. I've looked at Faulk's calls online for Geese, but it terms of duck calls not sure which direction to go. Any suggestions would be great. Cheers

What species of duck?
What style of hunting?
Can’t beat the old rubber bellows call for fool proof feeding chuckles on a field shoot, especially if you’re a noob.

Field shooting always. In terms of species it will be mostly Mallards and Pintail's.

There are several threads on goose calls, just use the search function.
For a mallard duck call, I really like the Jase Robertson Pro Series duck call.
Used to be reasonably priced too.
I've got the Tigerwood, and got the burnt hedge for my son.
His sounds better.

I hand make custom waterfowl calls in Brooks. My company is called Poundin Down Waterfowl Supply. Everyone is going to have an opinion on what call is best. You can give 3 guys the exact same call and they will all sound different. The best thing to do is buy an inexpensive (not cheap) call and learn how to use it correctly. Once you have the basics down then you can start trying to figure out what call you think would be best. The more expensive a call is, doesn't mean anything if you don't like the way it sounds. A good quality call will almost always sound better than a poor quality call. Think of it as a musical instrument. A $100 guitar will still make all the sounds, but a $1000 guitar will make the same sounds better. If you are near Brooks, I would be more than willing to let you try some.

Bullzeyebenny hit the nail on the head. He also makes fantastic calls. I own one of his goose calls and it is a fine instrument.

I have a sauna Mann eastern shore man goose call
I haven’t heard or found a better call
I also have a Tim Grounds call with what they call used guts inside
Both calls are easy to use and sound extremely realistic
