We are the home of the "Jake" box call kit.  This kit is designed to be assembled by anyone, but I am hoping younger, or new, turkey hunters build them with an experienced hunter.  I am hoping that leaders of groups of kids like, 4H, Cub Scouts, Jake's, and other groups that have an interest in doing something together, will build these calls and have fun with them.  When completed each person wil have a true, full sized, maple and walnut turkey box call.

"Sweet Mama" cow elk call (SMCC) - designed to properly use the hard pallet of your mouth enabling the caller to make the many soft, sweet and subtle elk sounds difficult to reproduce on plastic mouthpiece calls! 

Here in Colorado we have already been playing with our local elk herd using this call, they love it and are walking up looking at that funny, truck shaped elk when we drive the roads near Estes Park and call from the truck. 

If you are looking for that soft, sensual close in call, not a shrill or tiny sound, this is the call you need and want for drawing the elk into bow range close!  Press here to HEAR the call.

"The Stick" deer grunt call (DGC) - no need to adjust this call, there is no rubber bands, no buttons to push, there is no opening it or twisting it, just cup your hand over the small end and blow in the large end and you make the most realistic immature young buck sound you can imagine!  Press here to HEAR the call!

I hand make each call.   There is no mass production done on any item.  Since they are hand crafted, there will be small imperfections in the calls, and no two calls will sound exactly the same.  That is part of the unique aspect of hand made, custom calls.  If, during the final testing process, the call does not produce the sound I desire, or any of the imperfections hinder the sound, or quality, of the call, I scrap the call!

My desire is for each owner, to totally enjoy how the calls look, sound and feel!  I want the call to earn battle scars on them to reflect how they were used in the field.  I welcome pictures and stories of how and where they were used.  Any pictures that are sent to me will be posted here so you can see yourself on the net.  Please respect the animal in your pictures.

WHY WOOD? 

Every type of tree has its own unique smell, taste and feel.  As you spend time in the woods, or using wood, you realize they also have a unique sound.  Critters get used to those smells, tastes (yes they eat the bark), feel and sound and that environment becomes their living room.  Their living room is full of "woodsie" smells and sounds created from trees/wood/leaves/etc.  We, as intruders, typically bring along non "woodsie" smells and sounds, such as metals, nylons, plastic, rubber, velcro, you name it, we bring it.

When I decided to make my own calls, I looked at the calls currently offered today.  While some have wood as part of the call, most included these non-woodsie materials.  I decided to make mine out of that original woodsie sounding material, wood!

I have chosen hardwoods walnut, maple, oak, mahagony and imported hardwoods, bloodwood and purpleheart.

Wood does not repel water very well without bark, and various types of wood waterproofing do not allow calls to create a natural, quality sound.  If you hunt very long, it is not a matter of if you will, but when you will and how badly you will be wet.  In order to combat this issue with inclimate weather, I have mixed a blend of poly coating to add water resistance to the calls and added a water resistant bag (I call the turkey roost) to turkey calls to add even more protection.  This mix of poly coating does not hinder the quality of the look, or function, of the calls.
