Hunting for wild duck

Rod Haydel, of Haydel's Game Calls has a few tips to share when it comes to calling ducks....1. As long as the ducks are coming in, forget calling. 2. Try calling at birds as they circle when they quarter into the wind. This will make it easier for them to set up for a landing zone into the wind. 3.When the ducks start an erratic wing beat, hit them with a comeback call immediately to bring them back on line. 4. If they look as if they may drift off-line, use single quacks and feed calls to bring them back online. 5. When team calling, one person should be the leader while the others just fill in. Don't compete against yourselves. 6. Realize that not all ducks are callable and that even real ducks do not call in all the ducks all the time.
