duck call
Imitation waterfowl sound
A duck call is a handheld device that mimics the sounds ducks make, used primarily by hunters to attract waterfowl within shooting range.
These calls typically consist of a barrel and a reed system that produces quacking sounds when air is blown through them.
Mastering a duck call requires practice, as experienced hunters can produce various calls—from feeding chuckles to aggressive hail calls—to suit different hunting situations.
