The general conception the novice
has is that 10 order TO be a successful

man-made device for calling ducks
or geese.
This Is not the case. The successful
caller always has his call" with bin,

same as the moose hunter that calls a

To talk duck or goose or moose you
must educate yourself TO their Ian
