So in this situation I like using a medium to low volume call.
These are not migrating ducks or high ducks, so we are not trying to break the ducks or get their attention from a long distance.
Many duck hunters sound like a million bucks until ducks start working. The first hurdle for most callers is to realize there is a big difference between blowing a duck call and calling ducks. But odds are a duck hunter’s success rate is dictated by his ability to work ducks and draw them within shooting range with consistent, effective calling techniques. There are even days when a guy sounds like he is blowing a kazoo and the ducks just pour into the decoy spread. Sometimes you’re herky-jerky, unique, against the grain but somehow equally effective. Sometimes you’re eloquent, smooth and fundamentally sound. Blowing a duck call is a lot like a golf swing, there are lots of ways to make it happen.
