Variation Works Wonders When Calling Ducks

After you've master the basic hen mallard calls (the quack and the feeder call) and you've learned the fundamental calls that can be produced from your call (the hail call or high-ball, the greeting or contented hen call, the quack, the feeder chuckle, the comeback call and the lonesome hen call) the next step in your calling progression is understanding how vary your cadence, tone, tempo and volume. When we speak about varying your cadence, tone, tempo and volume, we are referring to the multiple ways you can get your duck call to sound like different or multiple ducks.

An Important Note - Your ability to produce the multiple sounds a hen mallard makes will either be enhanced or diminished by the range of sounds your duck call can produce. If you are blowing a duck call that only produces sounds from 4 to 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 you will be severely limited in your ability to produce the multiple sounds a hen mallard makes, regardless of your call skill and ability.

"I have been waterfowl hunting since I was 13. It's a sickness, which i'm not trying very hard to cure. I found your site just a month, or so, ago, and am enjoying it very much. 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."
