How many of y'all have actually heard first hand a duck make what is called a "feed call" made with a duck call when they were on the water?
We were talking about it the other day and nobody had. I've been duck hunting 41 years and been around wild ducks at night and on refuges besides in blinds I I haven't. There was probably 160 combined years of duck hunting experience in that blind and nobody could say they'd heard it. I've heard them chuckling in the air working decoys which sounds somewhat like what's called a feed call a lot but not once when they were on the water feeding, resting etc. Besides hens quacking I've heard what sounds like ticking and sometimes whining but never a rolling feed call.
I'm talking about mallards or black dux, I've heard pins/ teal / wigeons whistling/peeping on the water.
