Perfect Practice Makes Perfect

When you really look at it, a duck or a goose call is really no different than a musical instrument and to become a masterful caller you must dedicate yourself to your instrument. As with learning how to play any musical instrument, your first step would be selecting an instructor. The next step in the process would entail learning the fundamentals or the basics. And last, but certainly not least, you would properly practice what you've learned. These are the exact same steps that need to be taken to become a master caller. To recap these steps:

Select a quality instructor. This can be someone you personally know or it can be accomplished through the use of an instructional video, tape or CD.

With your instructor, learn how to make the basic sounds that are produced by the ducks or geese that you'll be hunting. Next learn how these basic sounds are put together to form a calling sequence and finally learn how to use these sounds and callings sequences in hunting situations.

Properly practice how to make the sounds and sequences throughout the off-season and if necessary during the season but when practicing during the season, never, never practice in the field while you or someone else is hunting.

Please make a strong mental note about the last step and notice what was and wasn't said regarding practice. What was said was to "properly practice" not just to "practice". Practicing just for the sake of practicing has little or no value if not properly done. In fact, improper practice only leads to bad habits that can take a lot of time to correct.

Remember becoming a quality caller doesn't happen overnight. It takes time and the proper off-season practice.

I hope you keep up the great articles and videos, and update the site as often as possible. I've read, and re-read every page on here, and like I said, I'm loving what you have here!"

"The info you guys have built up on here is priceless. I got hooked on ducks and geese two years ago and don't know a whole lot about hunting techniques or strategies. This year I have had limited hunting outings as I'm in the military and been deployed allot, but using some of your suggestions, I have already seen improvements to my kill #'s."
