How To Use Your New Snow Speck Hammer Call

Holding the Call

ON-HAND Place the insert between the thumb and index finger and wrap the rest of your fingers around the call just until your finger tips touch

your palm. OFF-HAND Place the thumbs side by side and press the bottoms of your palms together to forming a sound chamber. Place the finger tips of the

OFF-HAND onto the knuckles of the ON-HAND. This will help build the back pressure you need to operate the call.

 

Snow Goose Call

Start off by saying the word “WAH” into the call. Use this sound in several pitches. This can be done by opening and closing the hands slightly, and also by

increasing and decreasing the air pressure you are blowing into the call. A good sequence to use is 4 or 5 of the WAH notes in a row, in different pitches and

cadences.

 

The Cluck

The cluck is made by saying the word “WHITT” into the call sharply. Just as with the WAH, you can change the pitch and tone by slightly opening and closing your

OFF-hand and by increasing and decreasing air into the call.

 

Feed Call

This is simply done by growling your lowest voice into the call, making the call buzz a little. Using the phrase “WHO WHO WHO“ or ”HAHAHAHA” while doing

this will help with the air flow and keep this sound smooth. By adding a variety of WAHs and WHITTs, in different volumes, pitches, and cadences, you will soon learn to sound like a small flock of feeding Snow Geese!

 

Speck Calling

Holding the call is the same as for the Snow Goose sounds. Reference word to say into the call is “whit-whit”. You will need to huff the air into the call, almost

as if you were trying to whistle the lowest pitch you can. You will huff this note into the call in 2 note intervals. You will need to experiment on how much air

you need to huff into the call to get the pitch you are looking for. The harder you huff into the call, the higher and clearer the notes, and vice versa. The

Clucks of the Speck are made by saying “K” “K” into the call sharply. It’s almost a squeak of a note, but it works excellent on decoying specklebellys!

Practice these exercises as often as you can. You will definitely appreciate the performance of these calls with a little “hands on” time!
