Calling Help
mendozer:
I've been playing around with my duck and goose call and I don't feel like I'm really improving with it. I've seen videos on demonstrating the various sounds to make, but not really HOW to make them. I have a Winglock Goose Whisperer and Duck Commander Triple Threat. This is what I have so far:
Goose:
The long range honk "err-honk": I do this by trying to make a "gww-ick" sound while keeping the tongue behind the bottom teeth. This is by far my most consistent and good sounding call.
Cluck:? I try the faster "gwick" but it's awfully loud and can't seem to make a softer feeder sound.
Moan:?
Duck: I haven't really explored this much other than vary the amount of "tut-tuttt" noises I put into it to get various tones and speed of the noises.
Anyone else have some tips for making different noises and how to do it?
I used to play the trumpet so using my diaphragm isn't an issue. I can easily get calls to break over. Just unsure how to vary it...or is that the use of a different type of call"?

Where are you located?
mendozer:
I'm in the Seattle Area, Kent specifically. However, for hunting I was planning on going to Skagit as it's the closest hunting to me. I got some decoys this weekend so I just need to learn to call a bit better.

For goose calling look into the bad grammar dvd or you can find some of there stuff on youtube. That has been the best help for me for goose calling. It's not the sound you make into the call it's how the air is forced through the call and hand placement.

Your Winglock Whisperer is a good call for calm days. If you want a call that will be easy to blow and have make your ears bleed loudness get a Grounds Half breed in graphite material and for $55. Any CD's by Dave Smith will help you on goose calling.
