1066.0. "Duck calling 101" by CHRLIE::HUSTON () Tue Oct 22 1991 14:08

    
    Being a novice with a duck call, I would like to gather input from
    all you callers out there on how to make the sounds needed.
    
    I know there are 3 basic calls:
    1) Hail call
    2) Quack
    3) Feeding chuckle
    
    I have been able to turn ducks with the hail call, and even 
    gotten a couple to come all the way in by combining it with the
    quack. I have no idea how to make the feeding chuckle.
    
    I have seen several shows and read a couple of articles on how to call
    but they seem to have different advise.
    
    How do you make the sounds you make while calling ducks and geese?

    I have a tape that demonstrates the feeder with a mouth call.  The easy
    way out is to buy one of those tube shaped calls that you shake. 
    Sounds just like a feeder.
    
    Remember, different species have different calls, particularly woodies
    and teal.

    I tend to eat a hearty meal before hunting, this allows me to "burp"
    into my caller to simulate feeding.
