Man I hope to go to that mainstreet thing someday that sounds like a blast!

Is ringing the duck call hard to do or hard to perfect?..
Thanks for getting those sound files together and explaining them to me that really helped alot and taught me alot.
Here is the link to the main database, it can be tricky to find from the mainpage:

But me and my bf are opposites we always strive eachother to be better but not without some arguing. I kno we will have a lot of different opinions on how the routine should go and all that. But we always make eachother better.
Thats the best way to be. My fiancee and I hunt together. She's a bigtime waterfowl hunter, and was even before I met her (that kinda sealed the deal though, she asked me for my phone number to take her hunting and the morning we were supposed to go she overslept...I'll never let her forget it either!) But we have done a pile of hunting together. Some of the prostaffers I call and hunt with have tried like heck to get Rebecca into contest calling. She tells me she has been practicing, but she is too shy even to call in front of me. I don't know what the deal is.... the girl has been a tournament director for Billfishing tournaments in the Bahamas... yet won't blow a duck call infront of her husband to be....
lol Im scared though cuz im kinda shy and nervous around a lot of people. i hate it cause i have a really outgoing personallity.
Im learning so much from you this is so good. I hope all my ?s and everything dont bother you. How do you know SOOO much ive seen some other posts you have made and ur and intelligent guy!!! lol
"Judgement comes from experience..... experience comes from poor judgement."
I do like comp calling, but I think you'll find that its still all about one thing..... and that nothing will get the blood going like a group of 25 honkers whistling over your head to circle around down-wind. Rebecca (fiancee) had never been goose hunting before, but she'd been duck hunting for several years when we met. I finally took her goose hunting with some friends of ours in September. I think she would tell you she still likes dove hunting more (which was another thing I introduced her too), but field hunting for geese is a close second for her.

I get what you mean about the mainstreet calling, you have to basically work your way up. lol They need to have like a hunter town where theres hunters there and thats about it and have tons of events. That would be insane! lol Idk what the timber style call is but if it wasnt so good and you placed like that, then i think its timeyou break out the better calls and hit that 1rst place! lol Its amazing how much i dnt know cause im just starting out nvr had a dad or father figure to take me out n teach me about any of this and my mom was always workin. But now im learning so much just from talking to my bf, talking to YOU and reading these forums lol Im scared im not gna remember everything my memory isnt the best i guess i better start piggin out on chocolate or sumthin. lol And that webcite im in love with lol I had been searching google constantly looking for something like it. I homepaged it! lol and i like this huntingnet TEN times more than my myspace lol... thats funny i bet you give her crap about it all the time! lol Iam not really a morning person at all im constantly late to schoollol But whenit comes to hunting there like an adrenaline rush that kicks in right when i wake up!BtwCongrats about getting married, how long you been together? me n matt been together 10 mths..About Rebecca calling thing,.. I GOT HER BACK! Girls are just diff lol when matt asks me to call i get so nervous and im scared that if i do im gna forget to breathe or sunthin lol but if he doesnt ask me, and i just start doin it on my own it doesnt bother me. Theres just one thing that drives me crazy bout everything though, is that neither of us has a car yet he lives ten miles away and when hes constantly out hunting and stuff, I feel So neglected and sad! cuz none of my friends hunt, i just have him and my moms bf to hunt with and hes not a big hunter. and i cant go hunting unless im with someone 18 or older. cuz i didnt get my hunters safety liscense. so he always goes with his friends and im at home. bored. sad. waiting for him. wanting to go hunting. eating a gallon of ice cream or eating a pan of brownies lol i made that last part up But it gets me sad n i dnt think he cares! Man you know some people n high places Yea What you said about the nervous thing is true, im gna need alot of practice! so that call dnt slip out of my hand when my hands are sweating!! lol I like that saying. I nvr heard that before. im gona write that down . Man it looks like you guys did pretty good that one in the bottom right hand corner looks BIG! I got a goose wing hangin up on my wall, that just popped into my head lol You guys look like a really good couple. My bf field hunts over, water hunting for gesse. He loves hunting duck too. O btw wat call is rebecca practicing??

That sucks. My first car was an old beat up station wagon with fake wood panneling. Got like 30 miles to the gallon, plenty of cargo space, you could put four canoes on top of it and two dogs in the back of it. My Dad and I split the cost of the car, I think I paid him like $600. It ran well... and it got you there, comfortably and cheap... perhaps not in style, but thats in the eye of the beholder. You had to be cool to drive a Woodchuck
I got lucky to have a Dad that always made it a priority to take me hunting and fishing. I can't remember the first fish I ever caught, I was too young. I had just always caught fish, always followed Dad and our English Setter bird hunting, always been around guns and known how to handle them responsibly. Always been able to run boats, drive... I guess I almost take it for granted. My dad taught me how to be safe, and a bit about bird hunting and wingshooting, but other than that, he didn't actually teach me a whole lot. What he did was give me the opportunity to learn on my own, make my own mistakes. You asked how I knew so much... well thats how... I had a Dad to show me the start of the path and meet me at the end, but I had to find my own way there. In hindsight, I'm a lot better off for it than kids who just got told what to do, but never WHY to do it, or WHY it worked.

RE: Goose Calling NEED HElp!!
I read your article about pushing too hard and it was REALLY good! lol I can relate to her cause when you care about someone you WANT to do good and when the standard keeps raising it gets harder and harder, because you dont want to fail especially in front of the one you love!! so sometimes when theres a lot of pressure, you get so nervous that you cant even do it, and sometimes us girls will just play the shy and embarassed role instead of completely messin up in front of you lol
Yep it sure does suck lol but every penny i get ive penny saving up for a car (except the dvds i bought lol) and literary every penny lol, my family has nvr really had money, we dont have it as bad as other people but everything goes to the needs nothing to the wants. But i cant wait to get my vehicle watever it is i dont care if it makes the loudest noise in town!!! lol
yea waiting til your all settled down would be the wisest choice! you dont want to have to worry about all that when your at your wedding!!! But it sounds like you guys are doing really well and i think everything will work out great!
lmao!! poor becca! lolI kno how that is im am frkn accident prone like crazy!! It woulda scared me half to death! I think i woulda probably, most likely, had to run to a bush cuz man i woulda wet myself after that!! lol That goose had to be one soft pillow!
This goose call i got is an echo thats all i know! lol i bought a turkey call yesterday at walmart, and that thing is fun to walk around and blow on, especially cuz people dnt kno that ur even blowin on anything lol When i was in the hunting section at walmart yesterday, me and this old guy got into conversation and he was telling me his life story bout hunting it was interesting, and i was looking at guns, to get my hopes on one after i get my vehicle. I had a goodtimelol

well lets see here, to make a comback call say to-all where the to should be high pitched and and the all should be lower pitch, that call works really good, ive had geese circle me 4 or 5 times even after i shot at em. to make a honk just say whit to make the other call like a honk in which i forgot its name say who-whit, feeding calls are dadadadadadadadada and sometimes i add a honk after them.

I use Echo duck calls both for hunting and competition. They are very very good calls. I've never used any of their goose calls, and only recently found out they'd started making them.
As an aside, a couple weeks after I wrote that article, we were back at the hunt club and Rebecca did finally kill that groundhog.... I got it on video too... which was practice for deer season... but she took a new job, and we didn't get to deer hunt together very much. Such is life sometimes.
