HUNTING ADVICE
Calling of Ducks Is Essential:
Few Are Able tn Call
Weh Or With Ease
I5 PI I I K p CARNEY.
Whet iter you shoot ducks over de-
coys, in toe bash, jumping or wading;
the call Is very essential Yet of the
great number of men who shoot few
are able to call well or with judement.
It is not necessary tu cultivate many
utffi n nt calls Two or thrccJare
NOUgll.
I'or the inland water fowl, mallard,
widgeon leal, grnyduck, spoonbill,
wood-chuck, black-duck, and all nin
I diving ducks, the mallard ami teal
cjII is sufficient, iii tact, U"- milliard
jc.ill alone Is usually enough for all
non -diving ducks.
i'or diving or deep-water ducks, the
blue-bill call will answer, although if
one has also at command the purring
call of the red head. It will greatly
iheip in the day's sport, in shooting
over ordinary waters, where sport Is
ito be had at red heads. blue-bills,
rftroad bills, whistles! butterbllls and
jthe others of th ir lass, most of the
Mucks ill re.-pnnd readil lo the blue
mill or the brood-bill call Blue-bills
jarc great alters and on calm days can
lbs beard hailing cverj passing flock.
1 Sometime.- the blue-bill calls the
jker-i-r-r-r once twlct- and three times,
and occasionally even four times.
I When they are feeding they often
Isound a contented kind of Chuckle
lifhich Is similui to that of the mud
lien when undisturbed.
, 'Sound travels a long way In a Still
i marsh When the call Is loud the
mallard, black-duck and widgeon de
tect easily the fraud culls, therefore,
modulate your voice in a marsh Of
tentimes these wary birds, after rom
jing into a marsh in response to your
call, will settle among your decoys, or
they may alight outside of gun range
land study the decoys to satisfy thcm-
dlsturbed they will then slowly move
towards ihe decoys, feeding and chuck
ling as they swim.
Call to attract the bird's attention
to decoys, then modulate your call,
in a marsh remember the birds can
detect the imitation more easily In
a loud than In muffled call.
I For deep-water birds call louder for
the calling, or else scivc a low chuckle
l ha l they can just he.u
If birds start t circle away,. a few
low calls will often bring tjieni back.
If in open water; ihe birds often will
igo entirely around you to dlscxrvei
i what the Nusplciou bunch of weeds
contains, and at such a lime lie low
and do not try lo keep them In sight
all the while. Your moving will scare
them quicker than anything else. Lie
low, and Stay low. If the birds come
in, do not jump up. Rest just high
enough to clekr vour blind when you
jghoot. Be assured the ducks' eyes are
i on the shore side, for there is where
jthey watch first for danger and any
movement sends them scattering
