Tennis may be more suited for you rather than duck hunting.

The calls you use will also help. Don't go buy a hard call to blow. DR-85, red leg, some of the now hundreds of duck commander will all do fine. Like stated before only blow at wings and tails and never when they're right above you. Feed call is a confidence when there's nothing else to say. The more commuted they look the less/easier you blow. The farther away the more excited you should sound in your calls.

Listen to live ducks, not duck callers. Forget trying to run a Stuttgart routine. Just get the basics down and build off that.

I call hi ballin, blowing a 13 note hail call, followed by a weedeater sounding feed call while the ducks are flying towards you, rather than putting a little pussy&acorns on em while theyre drifting away from you. I went on a hunt with a hi baller this year.. Lots of ducks, not much luck

In a duck blind I use 7-5-7 note count hail call, 7 note greeting calls, quacks, all sorts of feed including simple, real, bouncing hen, and even on occasion refuge. There's a time and a place for everything and knowing when is at least important as knowing how.

FIFY. If you can just get a quack down pat and know when to call you'll be miles ahead of the game. Ask any hunter how they learned when NOT to call
tips and tails my friend

My calling style changed completely when I went from hunting Catahoula to hunting the Wax. When I was hunting up there, I had to get on it and stay on it until they got tight into my area, otherwise somebody would pull them off of you. Wax I'd mostly whistle and throw in a few quacks and a little something to make them sit. Point is, what works in one place doesn't always hold true for the next.

Screw that!
I ordered a double reed duck commander call and a decent primo call. They werent high dollar. Paid around $30 a piece on Amazon. Figure middle of the road calls would be a good place to start.

Absolutely true. The timber guys are using the cutdown keyholes. The open guys are using MVPs

Heard that several times on Youtube. I will be going with some guys that know the Monroe area pretty good so they can give me some tips on that part. I forgot how exciting hunting season can be. Can't tell you guys how much I am looking forward to it this year. Guess I'll have to snag a few bass before I get in hunting mode.

I started learning last year, and after a few weeks I could call ok.
Now that you got your calls, I recomend the RNT instructional cd to keep in your truck for when you wanna practice.
Best advice I can give is to let a more experienced and proven caller listen to you call every chance you get, and soak up the advice he gives.
If you don't know anybody to personally give you pointers, I recommend taking any advice from Louisiana Chessie or Yeti. They helped me A TON!

quote:Exactly. I always hear people say "don't call when they're coming at you" or "refuge feed is completely pointless". For a lot of people in a lot of areas that might be true, but it's pretty ignorant to think there are certain "rules" to calling ducks. I've hunted timber in Arkansas where the only thing that worked was calling as loud and aggressive as you could until they were in the decoys.
