| 'A constant and very common note used by Geese. Needs to be used with different tones with different emphasis placed on each moan note. Used as a comeback, feeding, aggression, and a lonesome note. Volume and tone way heavily on the situation it is used in. Back bone to every note. Can be used in contest to fill holes or gaps in a sequence.' |

| 'Typically done by the male (gander) to show dominance. A great call to use for many calling situations especially with clucks. Many great callers use this note in routines and meat calling to gain air. This note allows a small break in a rhythm so a caller can gain a small breath of air to continue the flow of the routine.' |

| 'Can be short variations for active sounds, long drawn out moans simulating a “lone single just lost his/her mate, and soft moans that I call ground talk. The moan is the most underrated a caller can make and actually I think that not much emphasis is spent on getting creative with the different true natural vocalizations one can recreate.' |

| 'The moan is used by a hunter to give confidence and realistic sounds to the approaching flocks. There are many different variations of the moan and they can be made by dropping your jaw and creating different size air cavities inside of your mouth. I use them in between clucks, at the beginning of my hails, to introduce my laydown work in contests, within my laydown talk and murmurs. During contests, it is important not to roll your clucks and moans together. Geese make different distinct sounds when they are talking and a caller should do the same.' |

| 'Moaning is a thing that will kill you geese and win you contests. There are many different moans you can do. Raspy old goose moans, whinny younger birds. Can be used with a cluck or other note as a double cluck. Blown very aggressively for a comeback…or very soft for a sexy finishing sound. You can use a moan in all the parts of your calling. It combined with spaced out clucks are the best basic sounds to kill geese with.' |

| 'The moan is a note geese use for communicating to each other and can be used for a comeback call in hunting and contest situations. If done quietly and softly, it can be used during the laydown portion of a contest routine.' |

| 'The moan is again a way that geese show aggression and or communicate among other geese. Typically you will hear the gander moaning and the female clucking in communication sequences. This is a great note for finishing geese.' |
