Mallards responding to Pintail call?

[dak0ta]

Hi, have you guys ever had mallards or other species tuning in to a pintail call?

[Sako 75]

I use the Pintail whistle call once a while mixed with usually regular mallard calling during late season hunt when the ducks are wary. It does work on mallards, pintails, widgeon and teals. Also, try mixing some pintail, mallard, widgeon and couple snow geese decoys together for better result.

In areas that have high Pintail and Widgeon (Boundary Bay and surrounding fields) numbers ... one can easily pull birds in just using the whistle. Mallards included. :wink:

Humm into the pintail call... like "grrriiit, grriiiit"... Drake lards love it, dont even need a hen call in the late season.

Never had much luck with a whistle but lately we've found birds call shy (of course I never used a whistle much......). I'm going to did out dad's old pintail whistle and try it out tommorrow.
Thanks,
Dan

Dan, I'm sure that sprig whistle will once again do it's magic that your dad enjoyed. Wished the clock could be turned back and I was sharing a blind with Bill. Best of luck tomorrow.
