Default New World Duck Calling Champion

That's right, Jim Ronquest of Holly Grove Arkansas competed against a field of 67 to win the this years World Duck Calling Championship. Anyone who knows Jimbo knows that he is an excellent person, a class act, a bad to the bone duck hunter as well as an excellent duck caller. Jim was using an RNT MVP, Congratulations Jim.

Fleece,

Just curious, what call/s do you (normally) blow?

Out hunting?

Contests?

Bill, When im hunting I'm using an RNT Daisy Cutter or a Short Barrel 99% of the time. On stage I stick with an MVP.

doin just fine. I actually just got a Daisy Cutter last week, and MAN, that call sounds like a duck. I'd been blowin a buck gardner timber II performance call before that I liked, but I've converted to team RNT, probably forever.

hey fleece, someday I'd like to get into contests. whenever the time rolls around think you might be able to give me a lesson or two?

Yeah, isn't the Daisy Cutter a real eye opener?!!

I remember the first time I blew one. I had NO intention of buying another Duck Call.

That all CHANGED in a matter of about 15 seconds!

And I ALREADY had/was using an RNT call.
