Another great video ! I had a five minute conversation with a swimming hen mallard ALL single quacks and got her into the spread...I let her live for another day. I just repeated the call she made over and over. It was a good lesson that you don’t need anything too fancy to peak a ducks interest. She almost sounded mad - lol.
The first time I heard the chop chop call was the late 70’s early 80’s, from a Arkansas duck hunter hunting in The swamps of South Carol8na.....the ducks did back flips getting in t(e hole.....
Had a week of practice of calling for yesterday's hunt. Thanks to this video and your quack and feeder call I had several groups circle and then come in
Joel, this is the FIRST time I have ever heard someone relate duck calling with playing a wind instrument. I have over 45 years experience as a Trumpet player & teacher. I just could never break out of the box with the diaphragm control & air velocity concepts engrained into me through my years of training. Also, I always used the call with the Reed on top ..... obviously with issues. I've been waterfowling for about 7 years and my hunting partner/mentor did all calling. He moved away this past year and now I need to do this. Thanks for your videos.
I learned to play wind instruments a few years before I started duck hunting. As a youngster when I got my first call, I just treated it like a musical instrument and it just came very naturally. I think a lot of people have trouble because they develop bad habits like grunting into their call.
Huge fan, Joel! I finished my first year of duck hunting last fall. Your videos have been really instrumental in building my confidence as a duck hunter. Keep up the great videos!
I dont do a hail call very often and not quite 20 notes but in areas with little competition and especially hunting a distance from the main fly route it comes in Handy just to get ducks to come closer to see your spread. Also if you notice ducks already trying to work a hole a few hundred yards away and kinda low it can get them to come your way to look.
We use the hail call in Nebraska we use it when the birds are super high sometimes we get them down but most of them keep flying we use it when we have nothing to lose
Another great instructional video Joel! I've never heard of or tried the chop-chop but can't wait to try it out this season after practicing with your video! Thanks again!
Nice job Joel!! I was told by a very young man last season that my calling wasn’t very good. Totally shocked me. Looking forward to try some of your tips!! Thanks!!
Thanks for sharing. I'm sure a lot of people will find this very helpful. Gonna have to work on my chop chop calling. Cracks me up to hear some people's "calling" out in the marsh. Keep up the great vids👍👍👍
Thank you for this one! I’m really trying to be a better caller. And I try and teach people I hunt with as much as I know. And it’s nice learning other’s techniques to be able to use out in the field. Keep the excellent videos coming!!
Great video! The timing of each type of call and a reference video clip demonstrating it would be a good learning tool for all of us. Also explain what not to do when calling. This would make a great future video. Thanks
I've had many ask for that. I will try and address it on a future video. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out how to do that kind of video because it's very difficult to show perspective on video... you know, distances and that sort of thing. That all plays into timing of the call. I'm sure it will come to me lol
What makes for a good call itself? From $30 options at Walmart to $200 options at bass pro, what components make for a better sound or easier operation?
A had the same question as a newbee. I started with a cheap plastic double reed call, which worked fine to learn. But at one point, listening to real ducks and trying to copy their sound call, I bought a single reed wood call. I now have so much control on the pitch or the call, I can go higher than with my double reed. Also, my wood call is more organic and less plastic, with every technique I use. Sometime my plastic cheap call would not respond correctly and in a constant way. No more of this with my wood call. How it helps, it worth the money I think.
Want to sound better on duck calls? Pick up a honker call and play with it. Lol Next try a speck call. Haw haw. When you pick the mallard call back up it just got easier by comparison. Now try and make some duck noises on a wood duck call. Youll run everyone out of the house in no time but be careful...ive had the cops show up before.
Thanks for another great video Joel. I’m going to be practicing and sure have my work cut out for me this summer. Do you have any suggestions on your favorite call brands?
I got my Phelps call last year on their black Friday sale and it seems like an awesome value at $45. I'm not sure I'd pay $90 for it, there's a weird void in the call market, jumps from $20-80 without much in-between.
I saw a video of yours where you were doing a mallard quack but when a flock of Teal went by you switch to a whistle. When you know that all the ducks in your area are whistling ducks, do you still use the mallard sound?
Yah it’s pretty common. Standard mallard call is pretty great. Here in CA it’s different, so many whistling ducks that we really use that widgeon and pintail whistle 50/50 to a mallard call
Competition calling is way different than when out hunting ducks when high balling. Have never heard ducks do that either. Good advice keep it simple don't over run your call. Believe me if your doing it wrong you won't need a shotgun. I find as a support call I use a drake call very effective for close in ducks. Again as always be where the ducks want to be by scouting makes hunting easier.
Well having called in competitions, Main Street and Live Duck, competition calling is just showing how well you can control a duck call, from the highest and longest notes all the way down to the lowest shortest notes. Competition calls are also EXTREMELY unforgivable, so control is everything. It’s not supposed to sound like a live duck.
I started hunting ducks in 1965. Saved up and at 11 years old , bought a used Browning auto 5 for 100 bucks. No one else in my circle hunted so I did some work on a duck club and they let me hunt. The caretaker was an old rodeo rider and depression era market hunter. He taught me how to hunt ducks. We mostly shot pintails, mallards, and teal. he would whistle a flock of sprig down from what seemed like a thousand feet. Might take 15 minutes to get them in. No call, just mouth. Not loud. Not often. Just enough. Mallards and teal also responded to the same calls. The other members howled on those mallard calls for hours. I wasn't allowed to use one. He said that they ran off more ducks than they brought in. After the morning shoot, I cleaned ducks to make a few bucks. We preferred sprig. Others liked mallards. But if sprig weren't working, we shot as many mallards as the rest on only a whistle. Sprig love big open ponds and fresh water. Mallards will land anywhere. Makes sense that a mallard will respond to a whistle but a sprig not so well to a mallard call. Almost 70 and still never use a mallard call. In fact, they drive me nuts at times. If I can tell it's a call, then surely the ducks can. One time I hunted mallards with a world champion trap shooter in his blind and he showed me I was at least a little right. We were in tules and small ponds so no sprig working us. He blew mallard calls for a while and as usual, some came in and other turned away. The he brought out a recorder that played actual mallard recordings. All of a sudden, we had every mallard in sight in our laps.It's illegal here so we didn't shoot, but for an hour we watched. It was insane and I was sold. I still shoot the same gun with a different barrel for steel. Never owned any other. Looked up the serial numbers the other day just for kicks. It was made in 1925. It will be 100 years old soon.
I have worn mine for 2 full duck seasons, and they've been great! The 400 and 600 they put on their original waders is misleading to a lot of people. In fact all the numbers that wader companies use on their boots are not equal. As for High 'N Dry one material they use is thinsulate ultra... which has a higher insulating factor than standard thinsulate. They also use other materials in their boots that add to the insulating factor. They have a blog that they put out a few months ago that talks about the boots and insulation. Check it out! www.hndoutdoors.com/what-to-look-for-in-a-quality-wader-boot/
Darn, last year I watched a UA-cam video with live ducks calling to each other at a pond. I thought I heard the ducks making that call you said not to do. I tried to mimic it. Now I have to break that habit and reteach myself. No wonder my son yelled at me to stop calling. Lol
As usual another great video. Your first video helped alot, I will practice more with this one. Do you use the BG 6 in 1 call for teal/woodies/pintails? If not what do you use?
I use the primos high roller for pintail. And I have a basic teal/wigeon whistle too- not sure which brand but it’s the same one that many call manufacturers sell. I talk about them in this video ua-cam.com/video/OzZimzH0GsA/v-deo.html
Love the calling tips. I hang my lanyard on my mirror in my truck and call while I drive to and from work. I’m not great but I work constantly on my cadence. Hoping it shows when the season starts.
Joel I got a good question for you. Do you think that ducks can tell the difference between calling in a covered up pit blind verses something open or in timber. In a pit blind it sounds pretty different because of being in a metal box and the vegetation. Do you think it makes any difference?
I’m not sure if the ducks can tell, but I can. When you blow a call from inside a pit, it echos and sounds like you’re in a tunnel. When I hunt from a pit, I crack the lid open a bit so I can see and also stick the call out. It sounds much better to me... I’d guess it’s better to the ducks (or geese) too.
Surviving Duck Season I sure know I can too. I would say I am decent at calling. I think that could be part of the reason you can’t get mallards super close to pits. You can sometimes but generally it’s tough to get them real close. I think that is part of the reason. I’ve often thought about that.
@@SurvivingDuckSeason choice, cheers. Looking at getting one send over as we dont have those callers in New Zealand. Well not that I can find. It will give me a years practice as our mallard season finishes this weekend. 👍
Another great video!! I would like to hear your opinion on when you "call the shot"?? I see way to many hunters shooting at birds to far away, shooting at birds to early that are actually working their spread, or shooting them on the water after they lit in their decoys.. Maybe a video on ethical hunting practices (when to shoot, how close is to close to other hunters, finding your downed birds before shooting at others, ect..) would benefit younger hunters?? In my opinion, there's too much preference on shooting limits. I think it's far more satisfying to work and call birds "into your decoys" than to say well that's close enough better let them have it... The ducks won in that situation. I win when they are feet down and back peddling into the decoys at 30 yrds.... Anyway, love your videos so keep'em coming..
Yes, I have that video on my list too! lol. I think that calling the shot wrongly is one of the biggest mistakes made by duck hunters. Some of it is about ethics, some of it is about being efficient. More later...
I think most people would be shocked at what works and how awful it sounds up close. I rarely take a guest because of this fact. They'll flat out tell you that you're the worst caller they've ever heard as you masterfully play a d2 olt cutdown. I've been there and it stinks.
@@SurvivingDuckSeason thank you very much. I actually just got the web foot game calls intimidator duck call. Also I got a free goose call with it the intimidator II canada goose call lol. What is your opinion on those. For both of them in original packaging I only spent $25 with free shipping.
The danger call is a highball that increases in pitch rather than decrease. Maybe you've jumped a hen mallard before. They do a reverse highball kind of. Never do that.
What about a feed call? I’m not sure what it's called, but it’s kind of a rapid fire chuckle. Frankly, I can’t do it but it sure sounds cool. When is that type of call appropriate? Can you include it on a "how-to" video? Thank you for your excellent videos. The one truly bad thing about your videos is they make me want to duck hunt so bad I have all my calls out and I’m driving my wife nuts.
You must have missed the video I put out right before this one... it has quack and feed call on it: ua-cam.com/video/1OI7VeI4-Z0/v-deo.html I have many other calling videos that you can watch as well on the channel. They are listed under tips playlist.
I spent years practicing ticka ticka and well...sitting ducks don't do that. I think that sound is flying ducks asking for the control tower. If I hear ticka ticka I blow a highball immediately and work them because they asked for it. Now the feed call. Its more of a buh buh buh...random.. Just forget about ticka ticka.
@@mikeries8549 I raised ducks the ticka ticka is right it's a feeding call, trust me they do it on the water, I have heard in the are too while hunting just after shooting hrs. Been duck huntin 40 plus yrs, North Dakota south Dakota, Nebraska and California.
@@ryryhi67 a “ticka ticka” is a feed call, but it sounds like that when you have a bunch of ducks all feeding at the same time so the single “tick tick” notes get blended together. And yes ducks also make that sound while flying

What call are you using single or double reed
I've been using the comeback and didn't know it.
I call it "begging and pleading".
By then I'm desperate.
Excellent tips 👌

I use an RNT Mondo. It’s super raspy. It’s a cutdown style call, so it is a bit different to blow than a traditional single reed.
