I don’t often leave the house during the wildfowling season without my trusty duck calls around my neck. I am a great believer in the use of calls on the foreshore, and I am convinced that they often enhance my sport, thus producing more food for the table.
I carry the standard mallard call or two, and a range of goose calls for the numerous different species. However, I do have the odd extra call that can help pull in birds when others have failed.
Your choice of rifle will not only come down to personal preference but will also depend on which species you plan to stalk, writes Bruce Potts.
