Primos 829 Feedin' Mallard Shaker Call Duck Hunter Grunter

The Primos 829 Feedin' Mallard delivers authentic mallard feeding sounds that trigger aggressive responses from wary ducks. This specialized shaker call replicates the subtle grunts and chuckles mallards make while feeding, creating a natural soundscape that draws birds into shooting range.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard quack calls that can flare educated birds, the Feedin' Mallard produces soft, conversational sounds that mallards associate with safe feeding areas. The internal shaker mechanism generates realistic feeding chatter without requiring precise breath control or embouchure techniques. This call excels in pressured hunting areas where traditional calls have conditioned ducks to avoid loud, aggressive calling sequences.
