Quick Answer
When calling in wind, minimize noise by using a windscreen, angling your call to reduce sound waves, and keeping your lips close to the call. A windscreen can reduce sound by 50-75%. Experiment with different call angles to find the sweet spot.
Windscreen Selection
A good windscreen can make a significant difference in reducing wind noise. Look for a windscreen with a thickness of 1-2 mm and a mesh size of 1-10 mm. Some popular windscreen options include the Primos Double Bull and the Remington Windscreen. When choosing a windscreen, consider the type of call you’re using and the level of wind noise you’re trying to reduce.
Call Angling Techniques
To reduce wind noise, experiment with different call angles. Try angling your call 10-20 degrees from the direction of the wind. This can help reduce sound waves and make your call more directional. Additionally, try placing your call in a slight depression or behind a small object, such as a log or rock, to reduce wind noise.
Lip Position and Call Technique
To minimize noise, keep your lips close to the call and use a smooth, gentle calling technique. Practice your calling style in calm conditions to develop a consistent, quiet tone. When calling in wind, focus on making a soft, gentle sound rather than trying to produce a loud, booming call. This will help reduce wind noise and make your call more effective.
