Field Proven Calls – Call With No Name Field Proven Calls – Call With No Name Doesn’t identifying a goose call as “The Call With No Name” actually, give it a name? While you take a moment to deeply ponder the conundrum I have now presented before you, take a deep breath and get ready to realize that this call is the most epic call Field proven has designed to date. To begin, when Field Proven set out to design a new call, they did so without marketing in mind. Instead, they set out to design the goose call that could articulate the entire dialect of the Canada Goose while remaining suitable for callers of any experience level, and they have done just that. This No-Name can crack the highest of hails and get low with the gravelliest of murmurs promising to both get their attention and put them in the decoys.
