| Landing areas for the ducks... Always have a landing zone for the ducks and geese to land in and key in on when committing to your decoy spread..Try to have the ducks break down downwind of your blind..I like them to start there slow down as they cross the blind..This way everyone has a chance for a shot..To be honest I do not have a set pattern..But I do use one large group down wind to cause this crossing flight...When I use a pattern it is most likely a fish hook with a stringer about 30 yds up wind..With this in the early season I set out about 10 doz decoys as the season progress I slip out less as the ducks become decoy shy...Like I said there is no set pattern..Nature of the area tells me what to do...Two very large groups. One on the left and right with on opening in the middle has worked very well in a large open marsh area with flights of 60 to 70 birds per flight |

| Calling |
| Calling ducks is part of hunting ducks..BUT there is etiquette for calling and working birds...NEVER call birds that someone is obviously trying to work..It is true you can't learn if you don't call..BUT learn what ducks you should talk to..Nothing is worse than someone that calls at everything that flies..Go out and listen to ducks..There is really just a few notes (Calls) you need to learn..Listen to the hens in the clip..There is not a lot of notes going on... |
| These hens are at rest and feeding and calling the greeting call..You can mix it up with chuckles and different tones but there is not the long drawn out contest calling on most CD's..Just 5 to 6 notes and some feeding talk...Remember ducks do not sound the same just like peoples voices are different...Learn to sound like many different ducks..I use a very high pitched call..To some it does not sound like a duck call..Which is the idea..VERY FEW people use a call of this pitch..IT WORKS..A VERY FAST comeback type call with this pitch turns 90 percent of the birds..A variable tone call works well..you can make your own by drilling a small hole in the barrel of your call...CLIPS TO COME showing calling tips |
| Start This At 1:00 I think you should listen to the real thing to learn the various tones and many different sounds made by ducks..You can hear the high pitched calls I was talking about |
