    Canada goose calls...how big are they?

    Silly silly question I guess but I am making a lanyard and just wondering if the Canada goose calls are the same size as the duck ones? Your advice please!! I have a Double Nasty II duck call, would one for geese be about the same size??

    Thank you so much, Gadgetman...cool!!! Just sorted that for me, might need a braid of greater diameter for the goose one...how long do you think I would need to make the cord...from the lanyard to the goose call for ease of use?

    My Hammond goose flute is the same thickness as my duck calls. Might pay to work out which goose call you plan to buy?
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    No Idea! I just twisted three lengths of twine together, made a loop big enough to get over my swede in the middle and tied the two callers I had on each end. They sit in the hollow of my 'where my chest should be' just nicely so they don't swing about too much. Yeah, I'm a cheap bugger. I keep thinking I should make or buy something better but I never do.

    Wish it was, the hemp twine isn't the best on the skin; don't mind wool on the skin, often just get around with a thin woolen jersey as a top.

    Depends on who made it. A Hammond flute is a lot longer than a standard call, but about the same diameter, it may even be a little slimmer. Been a while since I've seen one.
    And he is the go to man for geese here.....

    This is the best lanyard I have ever used so if I was you I would base your design on it. The knots on the drops are adjustable so you just adjust them to fit the call. I have got the four drop, flat braid with the double drops.
