A call dedicated to the mallard duck
The Les Zapos Mallard Duck call is designed to specifically work on the mallard's call. It naturally finds its place in the equipment of the waterfowl hunter who wishes to be able to influence the behavior of the birds with a compact and readily available accessory.
The goal is simple: to reproduce the sounds of the mallard in a sufficiently controlled manner to integrate them into a real hunting situation.
For hunters
If you regularly hunt waterfowl, the call can become an interesting complementary tool. However, it requires training: the quality of the result depends as much on the hunter's technique as on the call used.
How to use the Les Zapos - Mallard call?
1
Learn how it works
Before using it in the field, take the time to understand how the call reacts to your breath. Start with simple and regular calls.
2
Work on the vocalizations
First, work at low intensity to control your breath and rhythm.

Adapt the call to the situation
Observe the birds and adjust the frequency and volume of your calls to the circumstances.
