Southwest Louisiana Marsh by www.monsoursphotography.net |
To me, there’s nothing more peaceful and beautiful than watching the Southwest Louisiana sun rise in a duck blind with a cup of hot coffee sitting next to me dad. My dad, who is also a photographer, always told me that Southwest Louisiana has the most gorgeous sunrises than anywhere else in the world! Who’s gonna argue with that?!?

My dad would always have a string of calls around his neck, but my favorite was the old wooden Faulk’s call. It just looked more rustic than the synthetic calls, and I’m sure it sounded better!

- Don't over call.
- Call when the ducks are flying away from you or are passing in front of you.
- Don't call when they're flying at you.
