Speck call help

[redleg one]

In my opinion,

Every bird has voice---whether high or low in pitch---"people" including me at one time,thought there were clear yodels from geese and raspy yodels from geese---but after studying live yodels---what I thought was "clear" still had voice---just at a much higher pitch and sharp---they seem clear and high from far away,but they still have voice

Listen the next time you call in a single and he passes over when close and lets out a yodel overhead---you think,wow,there is rasp in that sound,he sounds dirty

So,learning how to put voice into your calling can be beneficial

as far as double clucking---yes,nice to be able to do to add urgency to plea on birds that wont break,BUT good solid single clucking done from low to high then back to low in one little "hill" can be very effective---the KEY is to go back down the hill after hitting the peak---if you cluck up and stay up and stop---VERY close to alarm sound---take home point---let the sound of the cluck run back down---ramp it up,but always let back down

Thanks, good to know. Any thoughts on throwing in yodels or growls while clucking or is it best to clearly separate them and focus on coming back down the "hill" with the clucks?

The layered sound is very effective although taking a significant skill set to accomplish

My opinion is this,how many times while hunting,does a hunter who is doing a cluck run at a bird or birds have them fire back yodels while you are clucking

The ability to answer the yodel while clucking is like "buying insurance" on getting full commitment

But,as many veteran speck hunters well know,there are NO guarantees with specks

If someone says this "always" works---proceed with caution

A man better have a "blind bag" of sounds to consistently kill specks---and this is down on the list below concealment,decoys,field prep,under a flight of some sort
