    Yet another lanyard...

    This braid is an alternative five thong flat to the five thong herringbone...finished with a leather cord trebled three part five-bight turks head mostly obscured by the grass seed head. The whistle is a Acme 211.5.

    Toby, I have them on the drawing board...I think I would probably make them in paracord rather than leather...not sure yet...what I need to know is how many duck calls would a duckshooter on a normal duck day use...or does one duck call cover most situations and/or species? I do not know enough about duckshooting!! Would a duckshooter prefer a lanyard in camo?

    I reckon for a old hunter like my granddad who only use's one duck call a leather one would would go really nice with the wooden call. Someone like my self would be into something like camo paracord that can hold 3 calls. Not sure what everyone else would like.

    No, one is to say Hellooooooo ducks and the other has a weird sound that causes Mrs Dundee to bring down the thermos refill. Nice work though EeeBees.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thanks for that Different tools for every job I couldn't win a duck calling comp if you paid me but I can call ducks and parries and close enuff for a look is close enuff. 4 or 5 years on my calling ducks off my deck has been my practice and then watching to see how they react plus shooting with a non caller and a blind man someone had to learn pretty dam quick. Ha ha
