Rolling feed call help!?!

by **Westie25** » Fri Jun 15, 2012 8:04 am

I've been trying to learn one for a solid year now. Any tips/help/advice? I'm convinced it's just impossible.

Just keep on going with it slow and you will eventually get there. Just do one or two sets of ticka-ticka strung together don't do too much at once and they will eventually start to string themselves together. Also what call are you running? Makes a difference as well.

A double reed I made. It's an echo insert.

Wait til you have that RNT I have found single reeds much easier to run and don't limit you like a double reed. Just figure out how to present your air right and you will find how much more control you have with a single. I'm sure if you pick Byers brain as well he can vastly help you.

I can hardly do one either, I find tho that is I go slower usually it sounds better. 9/10 though I maybe use my duck call 5 times in a morning.

A lot of times where we hunt it becomes a challenge of who can call the best.

I've hunted with a few guys like that, I'm also hunted with guys that you have to tell to STFU. When the ducks want to come in on their own let them!

I've found that using more natural sounding chatter like this has resulted in more birds for me over a rolling feed.

I try and only call when it's necessary. Im honestly just trying to hone my calling. I'd like the able to make any noise a call is capable of making, just for the sheer enjoyment. Not for hunting essentially.

Here you go

As weird as it is, when I use my goose call, and call with the back of my tounge (making G sounds instead of T sounds), and then I do a feeding chuckle, it can keep it going longer. Don't know if I'm working the muscles a certain way or why it is, but it's something I've noticed.

I think that pic might belong in the DD

Tika or tiga works good. I've also used "Ten". Say it in a sequence like "tenentenenten". If that makes sense.

I can tik-tik all day long. I just roll it into a series.

trust me on this. just do a tikkatikkatikka AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, CLEARLY!! no call, no noise, no breath needed. i probly did that for 3 weeks, 4-8hrs a day at work (worked on combines so nobody could see me). now i have it down pat, and have learned to mix in quacks and a bouncing hen into the middle of a contest feed. it is really all repetition.

I find myself doing this a lot walking around the shop. Lol. I get a lot of strange looks.

It took me forever to learn, but for me a gooda-gooda-gooda sound is how I learned.
