Title: goose calling
Post by: Elkrunner on December 04, 2008, 09:19:15 PM: I was hoping for some pointers on goose calling. I started about 3 years ago with my father in law. He isn't very good at calling so I cannot learn much from him. Does anyone recommend a good video for learning? I even bought an expensive zinks call but that thing seems hard to use. Is there any workshops for waterfowlers out there?

Post by: Elkrunner on December 15, 2008, 09:18:38 AM: Thanks everyone, I think that I may have the starts of something good hear. I am doing very well on my clucks. I was actually able to call in 4 groups yesterday by doing a few clucks. We father in law and I ended up bagging out limits. I am having a hard time with learning how to moan properly. Does anyone have any suggestions to try out?
