i need some help with the feeding call, i cant get it down, any suggestions i would appreciate

It took me a while to learn how to do it, I caint roll my tounge, but if you can I think it is that except slow it down, if not I just said ticka, ticka, ticka, as fast as I could, and eventually it just faster and faster untill it sounded like a feeding call, now I can add voice, and break it up a bit, cause ducks don't make that sound for a long drawn out pieriod, its about as long as three quacks I guess, hang out around ducks and just listen, that realy helped for me.

Your call is a biggie! some feed call good and easy and some are hard

I am also having a tough time with the feeder call. I have been listening to an old school faulks tape and it says to say tuckituck over and over as fast as you can. I am getting better but still can't do it very fast...

IMO you don't need the double cut feeding chuckle. I usually do some single chuckles with some quacks to imitate ducks that are comfortable. Try saying tick-tick-tick into the call. With practice you will be able to do it faster and then start adding some quacks into it.

I have found it works better not to say anything into the call. Get a call that needs alot of back pressure and start to say ticket and once pressure is built up just let your tongue recoil off the back of your teeth

I can kind of do it, but i think it is easier to just use a shaker call.

i have a friend that can do it real fast. but i can't. but i just use dug.....dug.. dug.. slowly. i mix in quacks my call sounds mostly like one or two ducks but it sounds like ducks i hear on the water. my friends sounds like a bunch of em. when we are hunting together i let him call it :yes: for me the hail comback and quack work good. i have never seen the feeding call make the difference.

My buddy (he's a bio) says hens really only make that sound when there are a bunch of them crouded around and she's agitated/

For the rolling feed call I just say "tica-tica-tica-tica". I believe in the musical world it's called double tounging. A lot of people say the rolling feed call shouldn't be used during hunting because it's the sound ducks make as they're flying over, but if you've ever listened to a large group of ducks on the water you've heard all of their feed calls join together for a few seconds to make the rolling feed call sound. Throw in a few short ticks and a quiet quack or two also.

Until this year, i was also having trouble with the feeding chuckle. What really helped me was practicing almost every day and taking the time to listen to others and how they do it. I also throw a quack in there. This gives my toung a little break and im right back to the ticka ticka ticka

 

[birdgunner04]

it sounds better with the quacks anyway. listen to Buck Gardner blow his rolling feed call its just amazing!

The old "feed call" used to be done by trilling the tounge....then it moved to poping the air into a call using the words tika or tooka.....

Now here's a monkey wrench....I no longer use the quick paced feed call...why?......sit outside a refuge and listen to the birds heading out to feed....they are doing the call....not birds sitting on the water or field

Instead I use the word "duh" and use it in a stacatto fashion intermixing with single quacks.....
