I think the neighbors think I'm nutz.

Duck season is just a few weeks away and figuring that I might be a little rusty I stepped out in the front yard yesterday evening after supper and started blowing on my duck call......I live back in the circle on a cul-de-sac and the sound really echoes and sounds good.

After blowing a couple of minutes (I sounded pretty darn good even if I do say so myself ) I see one neighbor open the front door and look out and I could see the curtains move on two other houses.

Me imagining the conversation ;

Her, "Honey what's all that racket outside ?
Him, "It's just that crazy old goat across the street blowing on dam duck call."

Are you sure your neighbors aren't ducks?

Her, "Honey what's all that racket outside ?
Him, "It's just that crazy old goat across the street blowing on dam duck call."
Her, He must be quacked.

Since you say your practice calls were pretty darn good maybe the neighbor said this to his wife.

Nope no ducks out here. Must have just been flying by.

"Duck! Duck! Martin, there's a duck out there!...Martin?"

I live near a creek, and when the ducks get wound up, they sound like crazy people laughing. Haaaa ha ha ha ha! Something like that.

Oh, My God! They do! I used to live near a small lake and every morning the crazy people laughed.

Makes a mental note not to move to Oklahoma

Some guy making duck sounds at night?
It's time to up his meds.

And if you live in one of those "communities", a new bylaw, # 78A illegal duck sounds at night.

Being different and unpredictable is way more fun than the opposite. I ought to know. Lol.

Her: Honey, what's all that racket outside?

Him: Moooooo!

Her: Honey, what's all that racket outside?

Him: I don't know, and I can't stay up late to find out; I've got to get up very early tomorrow morning,
to go outdoors, and Cocka-doodle-dooooo!

I found this article very funny, while at the same time, informative!

Honey,,Is my shotgun handy?

We Don't need no more duck mounts around this house!

They should just be glad you weren't using the 800# gorilla call.

Why would that be?

This thread is hilarious!

Are you planning to move out of that neighborhood,
anytime soon, @IKE ?

If not, perhaps you ought to move on, to some other hobbies and activities, and explore other musical talents and hidden acting abilities, that you might have!

I have a record album by Wes Harrison who did sound effects..
He did one of a rail road train sounding its horn while going through an intersection.
He had a speaker set up on his car and every night he would travel through this small town in the middle of nowhere and would blast the sound at 2am that did not have any tracks for thousands of miles!!
He thinks the residents are still digging and looking for the tracks!!
