Bring realistic wood duck sound to your spread with the Duck Commander Wood Duck Open Call (DCWD)—a purpose-built call designed to help reproduce the distinctive vocalizations wood ducks are known for. Featuring a double reed design and a durable tan plastic body, this call is made for hunters who want a straightforward way to add wood duck tones to their calling lineup. Identified by UPC 040444100058, the DCWD is a practical option for marshes, timber, creeks, and backwater habitats where wood ducks commonly travel.
Made for Wood Duck Sounds
Wood ducks have a recognizable sound profile that differs from many other ducks, and hunters often like having a dedicated call to mimic those unique notes. The Duck Commander DCWD is designed specifically for wood duck sounds, helping you introduce realistic woodie-style vocalizations when:
Birds are moving through timber or tree lines
Wood ducks are active near creeks and flooded cover
You want to add variety to a mixed call sequence
Local conditions suggest wood ducks are the primary target species
As with all calling, effectiveness depends on timing, setup, bird behavior, and hunting pressure.
Double Reed Design for Consistent Calling
This model is listed as a double reed call. Double reed calls are commonly used because they can:
Offer a more forgiving airflow and tone control for many users
Provide a raspy, natural character depending on tuning and technique
Support consistent sound production across changing weather conditions
Many hunters appreciate double reed calls for their balance of ease-of-use and realistic sound potential, especially for calling in variable field environments.
Open Call Style: Direct, Field-Ready Use
The DCWD is described as an open call, a format commonly chosen for straightforward operation and sound projection. Open calls are often used when hunters want:
A direct call with minimal complexity
Easy access to produce varied cadences and volume (technique dependent)
A call that can be used quickly during fast-moving bird activity
The “open” style typically pairs well with hunters who prefer simple gear that performs consistently without extensive tuning.
Durable Tan Plastic Body
This call is listed as tan plastic, a practical material choice for outdoor use. Plastic-bodied calls are commonly selected because they:
Handle moisture and changing temperatures well
Are easy to clean after muddy or wet hunts
Offer a lightweight, packable option for a lanyard or pocket
Provide durability for regular field handling
The tan color also offers a neutral appearance that fits well with many hunting setups and gear palettes.
Great for Timber, Marsh, and Backwater Setups
Wood ducks often favor habitats that differ from big open water spreads, so a dedicated wood duck call can be especially useful in:
Flooded timber and wooded sloughs
Creeks, beaver ponds, and backwater channels
Marsh edges and brushy transitions
Small pockets where birds move quickly and quietly
In these environments, realistic sound and timing often matter more than loud volume, and adding the right wood duck tones can help round out a natural calling approach.
