9/5/2023 0 Comments Drake wood duck sounds![]() ![]() I’m now looking at picking up their bocote wood call and customizing it with both a band engraving and a logo (love that Slayer offers these options). I am impressed with the versatility of tone from low and soft quacks, to crisp hail and feeder calls. The Drake Slayer is very user-friendly/easy to learn on, one I would recommend to any hunter across different levels of experience. I’ve got the Honker Goose call in addition to a double reed Drake Slayer call. He really liked it’s sound and the way it looked! Can’t wait to call them greenheads in with it! The moment arrived and they looked better in person than online!!! I didn’t even want to attempt to operate the Drake Slayer Single-Reed! It’s gorgeous! But when I did, it was music to my ears! I’ve recorded myself several times in different environments and the call just sounds amazing! I brought it on my last early season teal hunt to show it off to a buddy. They had great reviews, sounded awesome, and look like pieces of artwork! Shipping was quick and I was excited to come home from work and see their package on my doorstep. Back and forth on YouTube and on forums until I came across Slayer Calls. With all the money and time invested so far into duck hunting, I really wanted great calls for this year. I’ve watched dozens of YouTube videos on how to use a duck call. I work in an environment that I can spend quite a bit of time practicing my calling. ![]() I purchased several calls last year and received one at Christmas. I’ll do another review during duck season to let y’all know how it works out in the harsh Northern Maine weather, but for now go order one and lets kill some ducks this year! You wont be disappointed. For you seasoned boys and girls, no doubt this call will have a place on your lanyard, you just need to figure out which call you are going to retire so the Duck Slayer single reed can take it’s place. If your new to the duck world and are a little hesitant to spend the money on a high end acrylic call, this is the one you want to spend the money on, no need be afraid of a single reed if you get this call. This single reed call is so easy to use, it’s going to spoil you, it’s a Cadillac, for me the tone is spot on and the volume is easily controlled and switching from a soft chuckle to a loud high ball can be done without having to suck in a bunch of air to get more back pressure, all you need to do is just change your cadence and the call will do the rest. Now we all have had single reed calls that needed so much back pressure it seemed like you would have to blow your ear drums out just to create enough back pressure, that’s a bit dramatic, but you know what I mean. So I set out to see what this call sounds like. First thing I noticed when I took it out of the box, is that it’s a dang good looking call. I have everything from a 20 year old call to now the new Drake Slayer single reed duck call on my lanyard. I have very little room on my lanyard so I am a bit picky on what call goes on it. And to be honest most of them end up on my shelf to look pretty. Just like about every duck hunter out there every year I buy the newest and latest calls to see what they are about. I am by no means a candidate to win any duck calling contest but I can change a ducks mind when he passes by my spread to give me a second look. I’m your average duck hunter that is obsessed with duck hunting. I would like to leave a two part review, my initial thoughts on the call and another one when I put the call through it paces on a cold Northern Maine hunt and see how it holds up. Slayer gives 10% from each purchase to organizations that protect the environment and wildlife, support conservation efforts and preserve America’s hunting heritage. And with its gorgeous acrylic barrel, the Drake Slayer is ready to go wherever adventure takes you. From its ringing hail call to its quiet timber call, you’re ready to find waterfowl in any terrain. This American-made call has a superior tone from the high end all the way to the bottom. Fine control over highballs, bouncing hens and refuge feed calls is within your grasp. The Drake Slayer’s design practically begs for a good Cajun squeal. We agonized over the single-reed construction until we found the perfect back pressure, which creates just enough hold for a range of squeals, whines and calls. Even our CEO, Bill “Duck Slayer” Ayer, says he’s among the vast majority of hunters who couldn’t blow a single-reed - until he created the Drake Slayer. Whether the Drake Slayer is your first single-reed call or your 50th, slayers say this call is the easiest-to-blow single-reed call on the market. You’re not a truly obsessed duck hunter without a single-reed on your lanyard and a ringing highball in your repertoire. ![]()
