He's on an antibiotic and a probiotic. He should be ok. If it keeps up I gotta take him back in. He ate before I went to work. So we'll see if he keeps it down.

Well, this has happened before. Think he just got a bug from the water or something.

You guys would hate me. More days than not, I call loud and long and we kill a mess of ducks we wouldn't have if all I did was "call to get their attention and let the decoys do the work".

Didn't respond to the poll because there was no "I'm the noisy son of a bitch who's shooting your ducks."

As long as the clients believe that ;) ;)

It is pretty interesting to see how calling changes with latitude. Most guys I see up here get an occasional shot despite their calling. The quiet guys are usually doing the shooting.

40 years ago I would have said that, and 25 years ago I might have. Though I'd already had the value of aggressive calling pointed out by a first time hunter who'd noticed our "luck" changed for the worse when I quit telling our birds what to do and started asking them, that's been a lesson I've had to relearn time and again over the years.

Maybe 15 back, I was quoted in DU and our state rag saying the trick to fooling late season birds was "call less and hide better". That same season I took over a blind near a safe spot every passing duck keyed in on, no matter what I did or didn't do to change their minds - until I tried letting them break down for the live birds, without making a peep, then jumped on them and stayed on them all the way to the guns, where we strung well over 1,000 of them. Seemed like half the hunters through the blind that year had read the DU and/or Sportsman pieces and wanted to know, "What happened to 'call less'?"

My answer was simple, "Didn't work."

And, at least in my experience, "just getting their attention" doesn't work a whoooole lot of the time. So you can bet your sweet granny's ponytail I'm gonna try something else. And keep trying until I find what does work.

I took Hoss swimming in the canal down the road and the next day he wouldn't stop scratching himself and he lost a little bit of hair around his eyes. Had me worried for a bit. Thankfully Benadryl helped a lot.

I like the sound of this. Make em do what you want, don't let do what they want. Looking at your results from it, I'd venture to say it works.

Gaddy calls ducks like he bullshits with a group of fellow hunters. Doesn't let them say much and if they try to he just interrupts and talks over them. :lol:
