Keep the QB in a ziplock bag , the reeds break down after time , best in the fridge in the off season
you can take water and pour it down into the call to moisten up the reeds - this will make a more  "slobbery" lol ! gobble  ,pull the bellows to suck in the water -  think I just invented a new word "slobbery" there, but like a mouth call the reeds will sound a little better when wet 
I get about 1 season out of a QB
