Duck Calling

[Drake Whistle]

well i'm entering a duck calling comp. towards the end of Feb. and I would like to know what else I need in my routine. I can ring the hails,exciting and begging greeters, my feed call needs work cuz i can go really fast doing the ticka ticka but i cant get it to roll..help would be great thanks

[Killer Miller]

Me and iowamigr8tor are going to blow in the 2-man goose at the Iowa calling comp. in February.

If I grow a pair, I am going to blow in the state duck. I think people's chuckles is what makes winners and losers. I would work on adding single quacks into your chuckle. I can do it, but not with great smoothness like the good competition callers. So that's my tip I guess.

[The Duck Squad]

are callin at red bear in 'kato?

[Drake Whistle]

yeah thats where i'm doing it

[Drake Whistle]

killer miller, good luck in the comps. me first comp i was freakin nervous, the 2-mans arnt too bad cuz someones with u

[The Duck Squad]

im thinkin about drivin down there to watch i really wish they would add an open duck comp too.

[IowaMigr8tor]

Yeah, I dont think my first time up I could do it by my self. Next year for sure going to go at it by myself though.

[Drake Whistle]

yeah my first comp was when i was 13, and it was a novice division not a junior, o man was i nervous, didnt place well but god experience

a calling contest is nothing more really than meat calling on steriods.
loud hail calls single quacks feed calling loansome hens and come backs.
but don't forget to put some bottom end into the routine. the beat advice i can give you besides pratice and pratice some more is to listen to other callers take what you like from ther rountine and put it in yours.

i've been in calling in these contests sense 2002 haven't made it past the 1'st round yet should have a couple of times but we wount get into that.
just keep up with it and talk to other callers you pick up some good tips.

good luck
