Many times I have sat in the duck or goose blind and have heard the sounds of other hunters blowing into their waterfowl calls in hopes to call the birds into the blind. Rarely do I ever hear shooting or successful hunters after their desperate try to blow their duck or goose calls. The fact is that they are ignoring the most fundamental rule of calling birds - SOUND LIKE THE ACTUAL BIRD! The reality is that most of the hunters get their new short reed goose call or acrylic duck call and fail to master the basic calls. All waterfowl hunters need to master the basic quack of a duck call and the basic honk of the goose call. If you listen to ducks and geese rarely to you hear them making[..]

As a young man I really did not care about anything with the exception to hunting. Although many people, I'm sure thought it was a waste of time, I think that I learned many valuable life lessons that many young adults now could really use such as persistence, hard work, practice makes perfect, patience, that there is knowledge in reading, thankfulness and future oriented thinking. Persistence - Many people are not persistent at all at work or play. If something goes wrong or they fail at something they are done even trying. Hunting taught me as a young boy that the one that is the most persistent will win more than the one who is not. It took me countess hours, days, and even a couple[..]

The first thing you have to understand when calling coyotes are the reasons they respond to the call. Coyotes respond to your call out of hunger, territorial issues, social issues or curiosity. I believe that most of your responses will be from hunger and territorial issues. The majority of all coyotes are called in using prey distress sounds. The good old fashioned rabbit-in-distress sound has probably been used to call in more coyotes than all the others combined. I don't believe this proven technique will be replaced any time soon. In just the last few years, using coyote sounds like howling have become more popular. I'm a big fan of using coyote sounds for calling but, I think it's[..]
