John's Journal... Entry 73, Day 3 When to Use Different Types of Duck Calls EDITOR'S NOTE: Brad Harris, vice president of public relations at Outland Sports, the owners of Lohman and M.A.D. calls, is a hunting expert and a longtime duck hunter. More than 26-million households across the nation watch Outland Sports television show, "Outdoor Traditions with Brad Harris." Question: Brad, when you look at a duck hunter,
he usually has three, four or even five duck calls hanging around his
neck. What calls do you always carry with you, when do you use which one,
and why do you have so many calls? Always have two or three different sounds with you because on some days ducks respond to one sound over others. Having different calls gives you versatility. If I'm in marshy timber areas or pothole-type situations where I've got ducks in the immediate area and I'm working ducks in close, then I'll use a much softer call like the Duck Buster from Big River. It's a real soft, easy-blowing call. Since you want to blow those ducks out on those days, I'll have a couple of the Duck Busters around my neck as well as the Marsh Master long-range call -- just in case the wind comes up, and I need that extra volume. So the reasons you would have three or four calls will be to change the sound and to give you the versatility you need in different situations. Tomorrow: Reading the Ducks
