1. Don't over call. Do just enough to get the birds attention and to finish them. Clucking and moaning is the key to successful field calling.

2. Most hunters clean there gun regularly, but what about your call?
To properly clean your call pull the barrel end from the mouthpiece. Run luke warm water through the mouthpiece end to remove debris. Run luke warm water through the exhaust end of the endpiece while gently lifting the reed up with your thumb. This will remove and debris caught under the reed which can effect the performance. Do not take the tone board and wedge out unless you are very familiar with tuning a call. A good coat of automotive wax can help protect the surface finish of your call.

3. Develop a couple of effective comeback calls. Do not over use them and blow them only enough to turn the geese back. When the geese turn back go immediately to your greeting work. Saving the comeback call will make it much more effective to use over when the geese circle multiple times.

4. A flag is an essential piece of equipment is any goose hunters bag. For those distant geese leave the call alone and pick up the flag.

5. Practice, practice, practice. Good goose callers are made, not born. Practicing in the off season can reap rewards when the season rolls around.
