How Much Should You Call w/ REAL Life Examples - Duck Calling for Beginners

Learn how much to call when calling ducks. I break down some real life examples to show how to read ducks when duck hunting.

[@brandtbishop5002]

That is one heck of a video! I have heard on other platforms the exact same things you have said. But actually seeing it in your content helps me out tremendously! Seeing the timing of their response to your call will help me out big time in the future! Hopefully I will run into you sometime in Arkansas this year. Keep doing your thing and CHASING GREEN!

[@ChasingGreen]

Thanks man, glad to hear that. Hope it brings you some success this next season Lord willing. It definitely helps to actually see it than to hear people talk about it. It really just comes down to paying attention to the ducks and do what they tell you to

Good advice for sure! The sound of them mallards talking as they circle over the treetops gets me a little tingly!!! 👍👍👍

[@ChasingGreen]

Theyll do it to ya everytime 👊🏻

[@nsmerilli1]

Love the hunt where you said that’s what dreams are made of. Just hearing the wind in that hunt had me wanting the fall here now.

[@ChasingGreen]

Yeah, that was a good day. One of best days hunting ever. Im ready for that first cold front as well

Glen, this was awesome, I learned a ton after 45 years of duck hunting...Great for first timers or old timers!!

I am as green as they get...Ive been watching a ton of videos on KZbin...the video mixed with your tutorial track taught me a lot. Thanks a lot from a newbie.

[@ChasingGreen]

Appreciate it!

[@jasoncobb7540]

Probably the best video ive ever seen on calling

[@ChasingGreen]

Appreciate that, hope it puts more ducks on the strap!

[@kraigkaatz6858]

Definitely gets me anxious... I hope we have some rain. It's been so dry some of my favorite places are not huntable. The calling information is fantastic and pretty much what I have experienced.... Great job Jake.. God Bless

[@ChasingGreen]

Thanks man, hope you get some rain

[@hamrnguns]

This has got to be the best tutorial on calling that exist! You are a great teacher! I don’t get the opportunity to get out that much so stuff like this really helps. Because you are such a great teacher I have a request. Is there anyway possible you can make a video on duck identification especially in flight. Because I don’t get out much I don’t get the experience but I think a good video would help. Thanks so much!

[@ChasingGreen]

Cant tell you how much i appreciate that feedback. Glad to hear it helps and hope you can put the info to use and get on some ducks. Ive been asked about doing a duck identification video before, but honestly in my experience there is really no way to learn it but to just go put eyes on a bunch of ducks. Just one of those rare things that video doesnt help and you just have to watch a bunch of ducks to get down. Until you get it down, just make sure your getting the ducks in there tight on the decoys so you can identify before you shoot.

Another awesome video Jake. I am going to put this into practice this next season.

Hope it brings you some success brother. Thanks for watching

[@marillahills91]

@@ChasingGreen I did exactly what you said on ready the ducks and waiting tell there out before calling and using the sound that works wow big difference I was pulling birds off of other hunters this morning it was bad ass lol. And shot my first shoveler

[@ChasingGreen]

Well glad it worked for you man!, but i must say if birds are working other hunters i try not to call too much if i can. If they leave them and start coming to me thats when i get on em. I think it works out a lot better for everyone if you let the birds work other hunters when there over them. A lot of times when too many groups start calling at the same birds they work for a minute and then leave and nobody gets em. But glad it uped your calling game man! Keep me posted on how you progress

[@matthewarnold6796]

Could you do a video of some of the sequences you use for learning some new techniques and also being able to listen to what a good duck caller sounds like?

[@ChasingGreen]

Ive got a video on how i recommend listening to live ducks over duck calls to learn, its got a lot of live duck audio that ive recorded, highly suggest that one. Will look into making a practice video. I would also recommend the more recent video i did with jonathan from echo calls, its titled duck calling master class

Great video. Do you ever stay around NEA and hunt or do you go back south normally?

[@ChasingGreen]

Hunt all over the state usually

[@pbtitanium4712]

What duck call do you use?

[@ChasingGreen]

Echo single reed timber.

[@AdrenalineTurkeyCall]

Just curious on what you prefer when hunting like green timber or more dense places where you can’t see a long ways off. Do you do more blind, broadcast calling hoping that there is something passing by within earshot or do you just wait till you hear or see them first?

[@ChasingGreen]

We never do much blind calling, unless theres just a bunch of ducks moving that morning and we got a bunch of callers. If i cant see i like to be quite so i can hear or see whats going on. The flight line may be a 1/4 mile over and you need to move. Id say if theres not workable ducks to call at, i like to be observant to get a clue as to what to do, unless i have a bunch of callers and we can pull ducks from a long long ways.

[@AdrenalineTurkeyCall]

@@ChasingGreen it’s always in my head that there’s a group of birds flying just out of sight that I’m gonna miss out on but I’m somewhat of a conservative caller. Guess I learned that from turkey hunting. Less is more. I just see a lot of green timber videos of guys trying to blow the reeds out the bottom of their calls all day long.

[@thomasjohnson3793]

From the Great Northwest public Duck Blind it sounds to me like you we go out and Scout for where the birds are at try to get it tight as we can on their flight line and where they want to be so I'd not sure if that helps you out we want to be where the birds are at tight brush green Timber flat Marsha's wherever the birds are at that's where the hunters are at okay hopefully this helps God bless from the northwest

[@thomasjohnson3793]

@@AdrenalineTurkeyCall yes you're absolutely right and Tall Timber they do blow very hard and kick a lot of action in the water they're trying to attract birds into that chamber through a hole if the birds are just flying overhead you can pretty much just kick the water around and they'll come in but I am not a green Timber Hunter Great Northwest Hunter but they're trying to attract these birds across the Treetops hope this helps

It’s a chess match and why we ❤️ it!

[@ChasingGreen]

No doubt 💯

[@Laughinghawg]

Nice vid, minus shooting them on the water in that last set. Not cool shoot'n birds on the water.

[@ChasingGreen]

I think it is. Im not gonna run a duck up to force my self into a lower percentage shot. That makes absolutely no ethical sense to me. I wouldnt make a deer or turkey run before i shoot it. Why would i do that to a duck. The sport of duck hunting is tricking the duck into the decoys, calling it. I think the mindset of shooting being the sporting part is better suited for clay targets and dove hunting. Keep that in mind next time you see someone jump one up and then cripple it when they could have just ethically shot it on the water

[@Laughinghawg]

@@ChasingGreen It's considered unethical to not give the bird fair chase (chance to escape) by shooting it on the water. In many states it's illegal / against the regulations. It's the same principle as shooting birds from a moving boat. If the people I'm with jump a duck and cripple it, they'd then dispatch of it at that point and send the dog. I'd also say they would probably go spend more time honing their shooting skills and I'd go with them because it's fun as well.

[@ChasingGreen]

That just makes no sense to me at all. The bird has a fair chance when your calling and decoying. I travel to hunt a lot and i have never heard of it being illegal to shoot a duck on the water anywhere. Ive heard of that for upland, which in my opinion, is where that mindset belongs. Im a duck hunter, not a duck shooter. I just dont agree with that mindset at all, but its totally fine that you do. Ive got no problem with you running birds up to force yourself into a lower percentage shot, which is basically a more unethical shot. I just dont like it when some one tells me how to do it the "fair chase way." To me, its all about tricking the duck, decoying the duck and then taking them the most effective way possible.

[@Laughinghawg]

@@ChasingGreen I've been duck hunting for over 50 years (yes that makes me older than dirt). I've hunted with many people and in many states (most of my time in the Mississippi flyway). I've always seen people wait till the bird launches before shooting. I was just raised that it is unethical to shoot them on the water and it was against regulations where I grew up (again, same principle as shooting from moving boat). Since you have the channel, you should set up a poll and ask your viewers. It would be interesting to see what everyone has to say. Sorry you don't like me talking about ethics and "the fair chase way". Enjoy your season.

[@ChasingGreen]

No i dont mind talking about it, and i do have see this conversation a lot and its always the same. About 90% shoot on the water and say the chess match is won once they are on the water, but the 10% the hate on water swat just seem to come at it from a bad angle usually, not saying you did as much. But its usually more of a, "your a terrible hunter for doing that" type attitude and it just kinda blows my mind. Again, not saying you did that. Appreciate you watching and stirring up the conversation
