Goose call question (Advice)
Don't know much about goose calls, (so many choices out there) had one given to me years back and lately its been giving me a bit of trouble so would like to buy a new one.
Could use some advice on an easy call to use.... I don't like to practice very much so is there a call out there can be purchased that doesn't take much of a learning curve to use. I need to get one for my son too, something easy to blow, sounds like a goose and won't break the bank. 
Thanks

If you don't want to practise then a flute is for you, the Goozilla is a great call for the money but it is a short reed and will require more practise. A short reed will give more volume and a greater range of calling but it takes much practise. Flute is an easy call as the tone chamber is the flute body while with a short reed it is your hands. Primos flute is an easy one to use I had my seven year old daughter (at the time
) using a flute in the field in about five minutes. If you do choose to go with a short reed the Goozilla is a good one for the money, good luck.

I use a canada hammer. Not expensive but if you dont want to practice dont get a short reed call get a flute. But learning to blow a short reed is rewarding in the end.
got a couple this morning with the hammer

Zink PC-1. 30$ very easy to blow and sounds good. I find it it is more comfortable in my hand than the Canada hammer II which I bought to learn on, I got way better calling after I practised on the power clucker than I did with the other Canada hammer. My brother has the Goozilla and it is the same shape as the buck gardner call. It's a steep learning curve but once you know the basics on a short reed it gets real easy tho.
Get the net...Get the net...Get the net!

Winglock Whisperer....very goosey and easy as heck to use. I found mine for $30. It's a wood call.

It doesn't matter what goose call you buy, some are easier blowing than others BUT ,you still have to practice .

I know but just don't want to practice a lot... I have a short reed call now that I have been using for years but its just not sounding good anymore. Even after all these years with that short reed call I still haven't mastered it yet so am looking for something that can do the job without a lot of effort put in. Now that word effort is very subjective....
Maybe I will get the primas flute and goozilla, best of both worlds I guess.... Use the short reed call for long distance then change it up to the flute once I get their attention, less chance of screwing it up that way I guess...My biggest problem with a short reed call is the lack of consistency that comes from me...half the time I forget how to blow it properly and it sounds awful...
Anyway thanks for all the advice....
