No problem man. Just needed someone to point you in the right direction and not just post "Everyone calls too much or dont call at all". Every single duck or every group of ducks has an different agenda or motive. Some need to be called at aggressively some need a little bit some need none. Figure that out and you are ahead of the curve. I found out very quickly when i started chasing ducks that when you are throwing big notes out there....there is always another duck close by that could be looking for a home. Pick and choose your battles. I look at calling as a another layer to reassure the ducks that this is a safe place to land, those arent decoys in water, and a 12 gauge in the grass along with a big arse dog. Not as a way to change his mind.
