Duck calling
Duck calling is a key part of waterfowl hunting in New Zealand, helping hunters lure in wary birds by mimicking their natural sounds.
As American outdoor writer Nash Buckingham famously put it, “A duck call in the hands of the unskilled is one of conservation’s greatest assets.” That bit of humor still rings true today, but with a little guidance and time in the field, even beginners can learn to call effectively. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your technique, this guide will help you get the basics right and build confidence in your calling.
