About the Callmaker

Duck hunting is a way of life in Louisiana, even in the northern part of the state where I am from. So I grew up hunting ducks. Also, for some strange reason it seems that I have also suffered long with the affliction of being able to take things apart and put them back together again. Those skills were used frequently during my early hunting years when the combined net worth of my hunting buddies and me wouldn't buy a full pack of Twinkies. We actually tried to convince people that we preferred old guns, outboard motors, etc. So my early duck hunting years were seasoned with a great deal of mechanical trial and error. When I was in college, we hunted nearly every day except for the occasional Saturday when one of us was lucky enough to have a blind date.
I still love to duck hunt, especially with my best ever hunting partner, HRCH Phoebe, my yellow lab that turned 13 years old in 2009. I also love to make things, instead of having to fix things. These days grandchildren are at the top of the list too. In the off season when I am not with them I am either carving decoys, making duck calls, or rebuilding vintage jeeps, all the while analyzing the last duck season or planning the next season with any hunter interested. My wife of 36 years is an understanding woman, who, for whatever reason, seems to mind less and less each duck season that I have gone hunting!

Louisiana Duck Calls was started as a way to share my love of duck hunting. My custom calls each seem to have their own unique personality to reflect the style of the owner. They are made for persons who demands a piece of equipment that works as hard as they hunt. It's OK too if the call looks good while it does its work. We, at Louisiana Duck Calls are just like you and the folks who hunt with you. We are passionate about duck hunting and believe our calls will make the hunt more productive and hopefully a lot more fun.

Thank you for your interest.
