If you can find your way around these and then fine tune your calling to mimic actual ducks you can really set yourself apart from the competition. Steve,

I think you are spot on about competition callers and those that follow them in the duck blind. If you can find your way around these and then fine tune your calling to mimic actual ducks you can really set yourself apart from the competition.

They say ok, here is my hail call- Quack QUACK QUACK QUack Quack quack. Next is the over-the-deks call- quack QUack Quack quack. And on and on and on. Here's a feed call- machinegun tukatuka. And it's always at around 175-dbs. Sounds like not a one of the "Pros" has ever been to the local duck pond with a bag stale bread and someone with a "good duck ear" to givwe you feed back on your imatations. You'll hear the occasional hail but mostly a cacaphony of grunts, gurgles, chuckles, and farts and none of them very loud. When the new "hunters"XXX (strike that), "shooters" show up at the club or public shooting area (with their new 12 ga. 3 1/2" x 2 oz. heavy-whatever-shot for 75 yards scrapping OVER DECOYS)they all go for non-stop hail calling the speed of a Suzuki coming into a motocross turn in compression-down, and make Mallards call-shy in a week. OK by me, I use more motion with a "Jerk Rig" and a really good dek layout to get'em in and if a call is required I use the softest hen call I can utter with lots of little noises. Oh yeah, when you test a new call at the store, try not blowing into your shirt or hand but rather out into the open air. A call will sound very different once you're outside the typical store "echo chamber" and again, have someone with you that know's what a hen mallard really sounds like listening. Again,the call contests are fine but they might as well play rap music in the field as far as the birds are concerned.
