RE: calling tips
buy videos, calling tapes and practice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! goose and duck videos are good ways to learn, try callin along with them. Also try different calls, over time you'll get the hang of it, and practice regularly in the off season too!!!

RE: calling tips
i dont think i could of said it any better than carp. everything he told you is what i would recommend. and on calls the more expensive the call the better it will sound! sometimes you just gotta spend the money ive got over 400 dollars worth of calls. hey man im 14 too and i've already won all kinds of contests and the way i got good was by just practicing.

Other than the videos and cd's , just being out there listening to the ducks helps alot. Next time a greenhead comes into your spread, try to listen. Or as their flying over. .........REMEMBER, you trying to immitate the ducks, so listen carefully.

There is a program that you can run on your computer ( you need a microphone) that tells you if you sound right and tells you what to change to sound right.

RE: calling tips
I've said it quite a few times on this forum. Get the video by Phil Robertson " The Art of Commanding Ducks". Then do just as he says and you can become a duck caller. You do not need to spend a lot of money (hundred of dollars) on a call. All that will do for you is give you a big head and help empty your wallet. The practice, practice and more practice will help more than any call costing hundreds of dollars.

Buy Phil's tape, a cheap call under $20 go to the park pond and listen. Practice listen and remember, Ed Van Halen Practiced to be as good as he is.
