If you have an ear for calling, which I imagine you do if you are distinguished on other calls, it's not hard at all. You'll be able to make sounds right away, and with a few weeks of practice you should be able to sound like a hen. Very versatile call which can make a ton of vocalizations, can get soft or VERY loud. Just seems to echo through the woods on loud yelps and sounds very natural when used softly. One of my favorite calls!
