I use a combo of both hand calls and E-calls. I start with the hand call and work into the e-call. I will add some hand calling to the e-sounds like a death cry to bring them back after they have been shot at. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
As far as Noah wanting to out shoot me, that will surely happen one day at the rate he is taking to wing shooting. 3 out of 7 is 43%. I shot 61% (76 out of 125) and I have 33 years of experience on him.
It will be a bitter/sweet day when that happens. You know, daddy's have an ego too.
