not going hunting but the World championship calling contest and waterfowl festival, we have a booth.
We are way behind making calls.
This is our table were we have written down what color and style calls we are making and taking.



notice the different color bands, not sure I havent seen anyone else doing these like us. One the far right is mallard green, doesnt show up well in the pic though.They are anodized for long life.


couple crazy colors, these are our Louisiana color calls



Gator fans might like this call



the inserts arent as fat as the pics make them look for some odd reason

Good luck with the calls. Hope you sell out .

if we sell 10 I'd be happy

that purple, green and gold is sweet looking!!!

badass looking david!!

Just like ESPN...Nobody gives the Horns any dam love! If you decide to make one burnt orange, I'd take 2.

Best of luck Mud. Purse strings have been mighty tight for the past couple of years, hard for the small guys to make a break even at these shows, much less make a profit

no doubt its going to be tough making a living at this but we have a few things other calls makers dont have even big boys. We got three CNC machines and an Epiloge laser engraver and they are paid for !







all we are lacking is a few World calling titles and street cred !

I need a very quiet, raspy call. No louder than a real hen mallard just putting around. Double reed. Raspy but not coarse. Talk to me.

Ill send you a sound file, we got one we have been working on, sounds like a hen with a nasal congestion

I haver no idea the booth number

thanks

got any extra beds at your club ?

Very, very nice Dave. I'm going with black anodized band on ever call I make. Do you'll make your own bands or do you use a supplier? I ask because I need to find someone to buy from.

we turn our own bands, got too keep those CNC machines working, we can crank them out by the millions,we get them anodized locally. We have right now black, steelshot,mallard green and a red.

pm me or call me and we can discuss pricing, we can beat anyone I would think

Hey Duckman Dan send me your tx number. I want to talk to you about making some Debander calls for me. How was Stuttgart? When we talk I will give you some info on selling calls from my expierence. randy

Randy,
Yes we need to talk for sure.

We did ok in Stuttgart, tough the first day, nobody ready to let go of any money on the first day and we were the very first duck call booth people saw too so they werent going to let go of any cash for a duck call they had never heard of . Seemed like none of the vendors or call makers we talked too did well the first day eventhough there are a million duckhunters there.
We did pretty well day two though. Also sold several choke tubes as well.

hey mud,

some reason i just got the pm a couple days ago. wish i would have checked sooner, only 4 or 5 people at the club that weekend. Anyhow i wanted to put a couple pictures of call i picked up saturday evening.

Pictures are kind of crap but dang that cool looks and sounds great

ahhh you got the Johnny Cash Ring of Fire call

thanks for the nice review as well !

got the review right here, for anyone interested

Now Ima gonna have mines very first custom DuckBird call !!!!

Glad you did well out there. I had a booth there two years ago and made some great connections for wood. When you get tired of one of those CNC machines, I will give ya my address. Them thangs aint cheap!!!!!
