Duckology 1.5 – The Spread

There are many factors to a hunt to consider when it comes to your duck calling. We’ve talked about many in this series, but one we haven’t touched on is matching your decoy spread. You don’t want 7 guys blowing calls sounding like a refuge if you’re running a small spread on shallow water. Just as you want your decoys to match what you saw scouting, you then what your duck calling to match the spread you’re running. On this hunt, there were lots of ducks in the area, but not many using this exact spot at a single given time due to it’s small size. We matched our calling to the setting….a food source, but also didn’t over call because we were running few decoys.
