Diver Duck Calls (Ringed-Neck)

[Griggs]

I'm trying to call in some ducks for photography. I just bought a diver duck call. Its a Mick Lacy Game Call; Diver. I can't find any examples of what I'm suppose to sound like. I'm hoping to call in some Ringed-Neck Ducks, but any diver will do. Can anybody help me out? Thanks!

honestly......I wouldnt bother trying to call divers.....either they come in, or they dont. Wanna get them close? put out one drake amongst all hens.....that'l do it this time of year!

Like wooduck says, it can be tough to call divers. A good spread of decoys helps, and the drake to hen ratio idea isn't a bad one.

Roll your tongue into the call in short repeated pulses for most divers. I have a few Mick Lacy calls and most of them have good directions on the back of the package.

I googled "ring necked duck call" and a cell phone ring came up that you can play. Listen to that.

Also using a black flag will get them to come into your set or at least get a flyby.

Thanks everyone. A lot of good these ringed neck decoys I have will do. I suppose I could paint them to be something else.

Add something very white decoys like Goldeneyes, Canvasback or something like that, they will help bring divers in as well. Ringneck decoys work well like you mentioned. A friend of mine does a call on his BGB Wide Open duck call and the divers love that and turn right in. I don't know how to explain how he does it.
