Language
Suddenly you see a flock of geese off in the distance, as you try to control the dog, the kids, and yourself. As you try your luck at calling the Canadian Goose, try to get the attention of the lead goose by a couple of loud honks and wait to hear back from the flock or in some cases from the lead goose. If luck is with you the geese will turn your way. As the geese approach you can be more aggressive in the calling; “this will turn the geese on”. Most geese will pass bye the decoys first, but be patient, be still, and keep calling. Many times the geese will enter the decoys without a sound, listening for your calls. Continue calling by moaning the geese back, but don’t stop calling until the geese are in range to shoot. On the second pass the geese should be ready to land. “Ready, Ready… Take ‘Em” should be you last call. Honk - “to wit” Moaning or whining the geese back “gah, gah, gah, da, da, da”
The rest you can do with your hands by opening the palm of your hand in and out, fingers in and out. Practice makes a good confident hunter. When purchasing a call forget about looks and price, buy one that’s comfortable and easy to blow. The call should go from a quack to an all-out blow from your belly. When blowing a call, do not puff your cheeks, blow directly from your diaphragm with little short blasts. Most hunting situations consist of low quacks. Sometimes you need to turn up with a Hail call to get the ducks attention. The ducks really get excited if conditions are right and the decoys look good. Setting out pairs of ducks and trios often worked best for me. Bag limits are often strict so lots of decoys may not be necessary. Hunting with a good duck call, a few decoys, and adding in a couple goose stools will make a good day hunting with friends, family, and your dog. Duck Sounds - “ticka-ticka” “duh, duh” “dada” “quit, quit, quit” Greeting call - 7 loud, long blasts Comeback call - 4 short blasts Lonesome hen - “quit, quit, quit” Feeder call - rolling tongue in machine gun style
