caller question

Post by jpm1 »

what is for you , approximately the percentage for a mallards flock to break using only the long range caller . i'm using this item alone and my success is very limited right now

No blind? No decoys? What camo?

when I've tried this with the B&C camo, laying prone, it seems like 10-20%
In blind with full decoys, it still seems like maybe only a bit over 50%

I didn't count, or record data, so those are just a guess.

Maybe someone has some more accurate data

at Rougarou camo is not important so i use a mix of deers camo (sometimes i even use orange glow) . concerning the caller i would say less than 10 % myself but i would have liked other people thoughts . thx Image

Only really very few ducks and geese will break without decoys.

You need to use the short range caller after they break to get them to land close.

Try moving your setup to the area where they land & see if it makes a difference.

It does seem like there are areas where they won't land. Might be they need a big enough area of water, and that end of the lake is too narrow??

yep . the wiki explains it pretty well Birds will only land if the landing target is big enough for them to land on (Waterfowling) . all the wiki explanations correspond with what i noticed on terrain . thanks :)

Edit : if you find a clear landing path it works perfectly
