Not a lot of people know this, but the original purpose of a duck call was to quickly put an end to any social event or peasant uprising. Sure, you could meet an angry mob of peasants with archers, or the Lord’s men bearing shields and cudgels, but that was not nearly as effective as the town crier blowing on an untuned duck call.
In fact, the name duck call was given to it after, the local sheriff and his henchmen tried to quell the “Twelve-Man March” on the outskirts of a marsh near Ducksburg. That’s when they discovered that they repel ducks too.
This remains true to this day.
