Don't Call Like a Champ
To win a duck calling contest, you need to pack a wide repertoire of sounds into a very short time period. But to impress ducks, all you really need to do is quack. Instead of learning to call from a recording, listen to ducks at a park or refuge and practice the simple sounds you hear. The hunter who sparingly makes a reassuring call in the right pitch and cadence brings in more ducks over his decoys than those who get fancy and call too much.
