These specialized hunting calls mimic the sounds of geese during their final approach to a landing area, often characterized by lower-pitched, urgent honks and murmurs. A skilled hunter utilizes these vocalizations to create a sense of realism and security, enticing geese into their decoy spread.
Proficiency with these specific calls can significantly increase the success rate of waterfowl hunts. Historically, hunters relied on their own vocal abilities or rudimentary instruments. Modern advancements in call design and manufacturing now offer a wide array of options designed for varying levels of experience and specific hunting scenarios. This has resulted in a more nuanced and effective approach to attracting geese, contributing to ethical and sustainable hunting practices.
