re: Duck calling technique

What MWP is saying is that single quacks done in quick succession in an alarmed tone is a hen's warning call. No doubt the single quack aka "the lonesome hen", is proven to be deadly.

MWP is also getting at, and I am getting at, i'd bet the majority of these bushy--black-facepaint ****s don't know the difference b/w the lonesome horny hen and the alarm gtfo call.

Can you baws execute the bouncing hen?

Been working on it for a couple of years. Not sure how much good it will do, but it sounds bad arse.

A guide told me years ago that you cant call too loud at ducks. He tries to "hit em in the chest" with his calling, as he puts it. He said it works from Canada all the way to the coast. I've watched that guy break ducks that are on oxygen to come to a hole the size of your living room, even on cloudy days. You can't tell me they came in because that was the "X" spot either.

I've got friends and family that come hunt with us from south LA and they are amazed how loud we call. I hunt rice and timber and I call hard from the time I see em till its time to shoot.

I've said it before. Hang your head out of the truck at 40-50 mph and tell me what you can hear. Plus, the size of a ducks ear is not the biggest, and covered with feathers. I am a believer that most ducks cant even hear the calling, especially the quiet stuff.

Of course we adjust to the conditions like still, foggy days or late in the season, but 9/10 we give em hell.

As you can tell from some of the pics posted, it seems to work for us up here. JMO of course

Hail call all day erry day
