What's new in waterfowl calls for '05

As I write this, waterfowl season seems like a lifetime away. Dublin, my old Lab, is getting fat, and Aengus, my new pup, is far from ready to share our blind. Still, it's not hard to dream about next season, which leads to reminiscences and regrets of last. Thinking back on days when the ducks responded to every chuckle and quack and the geese locked up at the first double-cluck; regretting those tough late-season mornings when I couldn't get a bird to look my way, let alone tip a wing. To paraphrase Samuel Clemens, you only regret the things you don't do.
