2025.1.384Description
Small wooden instrument to blow and make noise like a goose.Context
Used in goose hunting, bird watching and by general outdoor activities to imitate the call of a goose. It is possible to alter the tone and pitch of the duck call to create the lower call of the drakes or the higher pitched call of the hens, and with a little practice you can create a huge variety of duck calls. This variety in your duck call whistle is important as ducks use different calls almost like a language.
Made by ACME, they say "Ducks coming in to land on the water make a particular call, and can be encouraged to touch down when they hear this call replicated. Likewise, many species use a warning call if danger is spotted on the ground. Replicating this call effectively can encourage the birds to take wing, giving you a clear view of the birds. There are clear benefits to mastering the ACME Duck Call which can be enjoyed by hunters, bird watchers, nature photographers and more. The calls you want to make will depend on the activities you are taking part in and the type of duck you are working with.".Category
