For our Canadian customers, we’ve had the best success shipping via UPS. Please note, however, we cannot ship to an address that includes a PO Box.

Non-customized calls and gear may be returned or exchanged within 21 days of the purchase date. They must be clean and in their original condition. Used turkey mouth calls, elk reeds and customized waterfowl calls are not eligible for return. In addition, limited edition calls are non-returnable. 

A important note about reeds: Reeds wear out with use. Most last approximately 2 to 4 weeks. The longevity of a reed can be shortened by heat, overuse and applying excessive pressure during use. Please store reeds in a cool area to protect them from the heat. This includes our the Enchantress call as you must protect the reed inside. We always recommend having back up reeds on hand.

To start a return, email us at [email protected]. Please provide us with your name and order number (if possible). We’ll email you back with information regarding your return. 

After we get your request, we’ll get you instructions for sending your call in. Once we get your shipment, we’ll issue your refund, or we’ll swap out your exchange and send it back to you. Customers are responsible for shipping costs on returns and exchanges. Please note that we do not refund shipping costs from the original shipment. 

Slayer was founded by a lifelong hunter on the idea that no one should ever again pay for another low-quality call — and that philosophy hasn’t changed as we’ve expanded our range of calls.

Our team is just as obsessed with hunting elk, ducks, geese and turkeys as you are, and we’re staking our reputation on creating the highest quality calls money can buy. And we make them right here in the U.S. of A. We’re confident that our hunting calls sound better, last longer and are easier to use than others on the market.

But you don’t have to take our word for it. Just ask the hordes of happy hunters who’ve left us 5-star reviews. Ask our Slayer PRO Staff, who swear by their Slayer calls. Ask world elk calling champion Cody McCarthy, who joined the Slayer team. Or ask Field & Stream, which crowned the Ranger as the best double-reed duck call of 2023 with the Drake Slayer as the go-to duck call in 2022.

Slayer gives 10% from each purchase to organizations that protect the environment and wildlife, support conservation efforts and preserve America’s hunting heritage.

We’re so glad you asked. Slayer’s calls are designed to outlast and outperform everything else on the market. These are some of the ways our calls stand out:

Commitment to quality: Our calls are well-made and produce the most realistic sounds. It’s the philosophy we founded Slayer Calls on. If you aren’t obsessed, we’ll make it right. 

Signature design: If you got it, flaunt it. Our acrylic calls — including the world’s first-ever acrylic elk call — just look better than the other guys’ calls. 

Made in America: We’re based in Idaho, home to great hunting on the water and in the mountains. All our calls are made and assembled here in the U.S.

Unrivaled customer experience: Complimentary re-tuning service for calls. PRO Staff who freely share their expertise. Employees as obsessed with customer satisfaction as they are with hunting. Need we say more?

Welcome to Slayer Calls. Below are some tips from the Slayer PRO team to help you compare waterfowl calls and choose the right one for you. Heads up! Every product on our website includes a detailed description, so be sure to check that out as well.

Every Slayer duck call is hand polished and tuned by the Slayer team. If you get your Slayer duck call and find yourself wanting to tweak the tuning, check out this video or simply purchase a custom tuning service and send that call back our way. We’ll take care of the rest!

Best for complex calling

If your goal is to become a proficient duck caller or do more complex calling, our team recommends the Ranger Double Reed. Recognized by Field & Stream as the BEST double reed duck call in 2023, the Ranger can take more air and, because of this, is more forgiving (it won’t squeak on you). While the open bore design of the Ranger allows more air, it also requires you to manage your diaphragm. So if you like to hammer on your calls, this is the call for you. The best part? When you master the double reed and are looking for a new challenge, you can simply purchase a new single reed insert for your Ranger, versus buying a whole new call! 

Best all-around

The Drake Slayer, Double Reed is our best all-around duck call. Recognized by Field & Stream as 2022’s best double-reed duck call, the Drake Slayer is a finishing call that offers softer, more subtle tones. Like the Ranger, the Drake Slayer is a great call to learn on — perfect for complex calling and 100% acrylic, so getting loud isn’t going to be a problem. What makes the Drake Slayer different from the Ranger? The Drake Slayer does not require a ton of air — super easy to run. Oh! And when you master the double reed and are looking for a new challenge, you can simply purchase a new single reed insert for your Drake Slayer, versus buying a whole new call!

For those late season hunts

Our Suzie Slayer is a variation of the Drake Slayer double reed, with one key difference — this call is crafted from Bocote wood rather than acrylic. The wood design produces softer tones with more depth, allowing you to work wary, shy ducks. 

More than hens

Whistler’s Mother, Slayer’s 4-in-1 whistle, is a must have for every lanyard — great for calling in drake mallards, pintails, wigeons and teals. The 4-in-1 is easy to use and gets LOUD!  

Best for beginners

If you’re not quite ready to invest in a lifetime call, the Mallard Reaper is a great option. Made from DELRIN plastic, this call has great top-to-bottom tone. Plus it’s affordable and super durable.  

Top pick for meat calls

Our DUBAR call is a pure hunting call; if you’re looking to kill ducks, it doesn’t get any easier than this. Designed to mimic the anatomy of a duck’s mouth, this call is about as ducky and raspy as it gets. You’re not going to win any calling competitions with this call, but if you want to sound ducky out of the gates, DUBAR will have you ducked up beyond all recognition. 

Best for timber hunts

If you’re hunting timber, your call of choice really depends on how much air you like to use and your hunting experience.  If you’re new to duck hunting or struggle to produce enough air to run long cadences, our Drake Slayer is going to be the best call for hunting in the timber. 

If you love running long cadences or find yourself squealing your call, you’re going to want to grab Slayer’s DUBAR, available in Single Reed or Double Reed. The open bore design of this call allows more air to flow through without that unwanted squeal. 

Best for open water hunts

You’re going to be able to get super LOUD with Slayer’s Ranger duck call — a hunter’s dream when on the open water. Recognized by Field & Stream as the BEST double reed duck call in 2023, Slayer’s Ranger can take more air and, because of this, is more forgiving (it won’t squeak on you) so you can get the loud notes you’re looking for. The best part? When you master the double reed and are looking for a new challenge, you can simply purchase a new single reed insert for your Ranger, versus buying a whole new call! 

Best single reed

If you’re looking for a single reed call, you’ve mastered the ins and outs of calling with a double reed. The choice is simple — the Ranger Single Reed. This call is 100% acrylic which means you’ll have no problem getting loud! And, with the open bore design of the Ranger, you’re set to hammer away. 

The must-have cutdown 

When you’re hunting high-pressure areas or public land, Slayer’s Pearly Gates cutdown might be your call of choice. This call is flat-out LOUD when you’re in the timber, with a range second to none. From high-pitched barks to quiet, subtle duck sounds, Pearly Gates has your back.

Every Slayer goose call performs like it’s 10 years broken in — guts matter! We tune our goose calls on the light-medium side. If you get your Slayer goose call and find yourself wanting to tweak the tuning, check out this video or simply purchase a custom tuning service and send that call back our way. We’ll take care of the rest!

Best all-around Honker call 

Our 100% acrylic Honker Slayer is perfect for your Canada geese hunts. This American-made short-reed call has the perfect back pressure, so it really can do it all: deep clucks, slow and fast double clucks, realistic moans, murmurs and honks. Take advantage of the full volume range to adjust the loudness of your call, whether geese are nearby or nearly out of range. It’s easily tunable for soft, medium or hard calling.

Simple & sexy

Looking for something a bit sexier? The Leg Iron is a variation of our most popular goose call — the Honker Slayer. Whether you’re a beginner or a hunting veteran, you’ll love this Canada goose call. This flat gray, short-reed goose call features a custom barrel etched with Slayer’s signature waterfowl design. The Leg Iron goose call is sexy and gets the job done. 

For those deeper tones 

Beautifully crafted from Bocote wood, the Axe is a variation of our most popular goose call — the Honker Slayer (same dependable guts). Its gorgeous wood design makes for deeper tones that may not be as loud as some other calls, but work beautifully out on the water, bringing birds close. Like the Honker Slayer, the Axe wood goose call is easily tunable for soft, medium or hard calling. The best part — guts that perform like they’re 10 years broken in!

Best goose call for beginners

Slayer’s Dagger goose call is a beginner goose call, crafted from durable DELRIN plastic. The material keeps the cost low, without compromising quality. Complete with high performing guts, there’s no better call to learn on. Don’t forget to sign up for our goose calling course — the trainer, Tommy Sessions, will have you luring in the geese in record time.

For the specklebelly geese 

With the Tar Belly Slayer speck call, you don’t need to worry about putting your hands in an exact position to create back pressure. Rather, the toneboard and barrel have been designed so that only minimal air pressure is required to turn over the reed. The result is incredible versatility: soft, realistic clucks and murmurs, as well as loud hail-call yodels.
