As well as achieving the drake teal call, I like to carry a hen teal call. These are commonly small and the sound is produced by blowing air through a small reed, similar to a squeak in a dog chew. This call can take a little bit of mastering because you have to get the pressure right, with a bit of a growl in your voice to produce the correct sound.

This call works well near the end of the season because the drakes start to get fired up for breeding. I often use this call with the 6-in-1 to produce a range of sounds, as I do with the wigeon whistle 
and growl.

Another use for the hen teal 
call is as a fox squeak. Mine have been used over the years to replicate a hare squealing and they have pulled many 
foxes in range of the rifle.

All these duck calls and more can be achieved with a little practice.
