    Dundee, not being a duck shooter myself, I have never understood why duck shooters have more than one duck call hanging around their neck? What's the go bro?

    Rushy , Ducks have different accents , depending on where the duck was hatched . Hence the different calls . City ducks from say Auckland are loud and talkative ( loud obnoxious caller ) A duck from way down south will roll its RRRRRRsssssss as in QuaRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK (deep raspy caller) Ducks from far north use different again Quack-Churrrrrr . . So Rushy these ducks can move around the country . It takes years of practice to notice there Accents . Hope this helps

    That sounds eminently plausible to me Munsey. Then I guess these days there will also be a bunch of immigrant ducks so callers will now come in various Indian, Asian Middle Eastern and Euroean dialects as well? It leads to another question though and that is "how the hell does Dundee know what language caller to use when the duck is forty metres up in low cloud?
