Some hunters like to have all their bases covered, going to another hunting zone if the area is looking a little bare to make sure that they don’t miss the ducks. Others like to lay in wait, in the hopes that their patience will be rewarded with a flock heading towards his direction. While others like to be even craftier, making use of duck calls in an effort to lure unsuspecting ducks to their end. However, duck calls will only work effectively if used properly, as the art of luring ducks is not as simple as it appears. If you are interested in finding out how to make effective use of duck calls, then you are in luck as this article will show you how through a series of simple steps which you can read and follow in order to lure some ducks below:
There are three types of calls used in duck hunting, the first being a normal quack. In order to do this one right, you will first need to know how to hold a duck call. It is pretty simple; just hold it in-between your thumb and your forefinger, and then place the mouthpiece between your lips (make sure to cover your lips on the piece firmly). Afterwards, blow on the duck call but not too long (in fact, quite short). Keeping it in little bursts such as that will mimic the sound of a regular quack. This will lure ducks that are already in the area.
The second type of call is similar to the first, named the feed call. Doing this call is practically the same as the first, only this time you blow harder, and even shorter. These strong but abrupt quacks will let ducks nearby know that there is an area where they can feed (where you are using the duck call). Once you make this call and they start coming, look for a place to hide.
