I am also the proud new owner of a D3 custom open reed call and a Predator Stick. Both are sweet sounding calls and are made very well.
You haven't heard anything till you hear Tim do the chicken distress on the Predator Stick. I was very impressed.

I have lots of chicken farms around my area, common to find piles of chicken feathers far, far away from the farms.
I'm gonna be practicing that sound for sure.
