Master The Art Of QuackingLearning to make the many variations of the hen mallard quack is an art that is, unfortunately, mastered by only a few. If you cannot reproduce the natural sounds of a hen mallard on your duck call you may have one of two problems. Either (A) your duck call does not work properly or (B) you don't know how to properly sound like a hen mallard. If the problem is (A), throw away your duck call and replace it with a functional one, or if the problem is (B) learn how to blow a quack and practice. Many hunters are misinformed and believe that a quack is a quack. Nothing could be further from the truth. Hen mallard quacks can represent fear, contentment, excitement, or lonesomeness. Your goal is to deceive a duck not startle it. So master the basic quack and learn the variations and your success rate will go up. |
 Testimonials "Thank you! This was my first duck season and thnks to your online audio lessons I was able to call Mallards to my dekes and knock them out of the sky! Much appreciated!" "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!" "Have to first say that I am amazed by your website. Lots of REAL and PRACTICAL stuff. I watched the videos on painting the drake mallard and it definitely was worth joining!" "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." |
