Stand on Main Street in Stuttgart, Ark., during the Wings over the Prairie Festival and a hunter might start thinking that the only successful caller is one who can create a 90-second symphony of sounds on his favorite call.
But if you strip away the elaborate hail calls and the rolling feeding chuckle, what you have left is a basic framework of sounds that any hunter can master. And according to one world-champion caller, the simple stuff is all you need to call more ducks.
Step 1: The Basic Quack
Arkansas duck hunter Jim Ronquest is quite familiar with both sides of the duck-calling world.
As winner of the 2006 World’s Duck Calling Contest, Ronquest knows what it takes to win over a panel of judges. But as a hunter, guide and producer of Rich-n-Tone Call’s popular “RNT-V” program, Ronquest’s livelihood is grounded in being able to bring ducks up close and personal.
Ronquest’s first rule in calling ducks: Get down to the basics.
“The bottom line is, if you cannot make that one single, basic quack, you will struggle with everything else,” says Ronquest. “It is the foundation for just about everything you do with a duck call.”
Ronquest suggests that hunter’s say, “hut,” “hoot,” “wick,” “wack” or another similar word into the call, using the tongue to stop the flow of air at the end of the syllable.
“Once you can do one, do two, then three and so on until you can make five quacks right in a row, keeping them all exact, all on the same level,” says Ronquest.

A lot of folks keep “to do” lists for their adult lives. For some, the list is studded with sincere goals or accomplishments and may feature such endeavors as “finish master’s degree” or “bicycle through Italy.” Others compile lists that are more adrenaline charged; they want to check the box next to “scuba dive with sharks” or “bungee jump.”
But if you are the kind of person who would rather be in a duck blind on a bright November morning than anywhere else, you don’t want to jump off a perfectly good bridge anyway. In your world, bungee cords are meant to hold duck boats in pickup beds. So when the editors of Ducks Unlimited asked me which items I might include on a duck hunter’s “life list,” I compiled the following summary of 10 defining tasks and unique destinations for waterfowlers. Perhaps my suggestions, presented here in no particular order, will inspire you to create and pursue a list of your own.
1. Hunt the Canadian Prairie in Early Fall
Whether you choose Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, an early-season trip to Canada will change your perspective on ducks and duck hunting forever. Hunting seemingly endless prairie dotted with sapphire potholes is truly magical. And this isn’t like duck hunting at home; you can’t just put out your decoys and wait. In Canada, you must go to the birds. That means driving the countryside to find them and then making plans to be under them before they return the next morning.
You can hunt ducks on big water or small potholes, but what defines prairie waterfowling is dry-land hunting in immense agricultural fields. Once you have been under the milling vortex of hundreds or even thousands of mallards pouring into a pea field or have seen the golden sun set across a sweeping horizon of cut barley, then you can say you’ve experienced the prairie in the fall, the place where the migration begins.

Big bucks! No, not the kind that grow antlers, but what many duck hunters spend to fund their sport: private clubs, fancy blinds, pricey shotguns, super-sized decoy spreads, and more. This is one undertaking that can suck up money like a bowling ball in quicksand.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Hunters can experience quality duck hunting while sticking to a budget. Penny-pinching hunters may have to hunt a little harder and smarter, but they can still find high-quality waterfowling.
So, if the recession has left a lasting impression, your credit card is maxed out, your kid’s college tuition has skyrocketed, and you can’t afford 24-carat duck hunting, don’t despair. The quality of a hunt doesn’t always rate proportionally to its cost. Here’s how to cut corners to hold duck hunting expenses down and still enjoy great shooting. Here more of the story….
