Call Library
Call lessons: what each call is for and when to use it
What is here: lessons. The cards below teach each call. The play button sounds a synthetic pitch tone, not a recording of a caller.
Measured champion masters exist today for duck and goose only: 68 of Kent Cullum’s duck masters in Duck Camp, and in Goose Camp 5 of Hunter Grounds’ goose masters plus 2 Hobo-call takes whose performer is not yet established. The elk, turkey, deer and songbird clips are lessons, not measured champion masters.
