There’s no question that social media is really what has created the boom in the custom-call business. The major part of the custom-call business once occurred just before turkey season. However, today we’re building and selling custom calls pretty much all year long.

Bowhunting Turkeys Without a Blind

When most people think of bowhunting turkeys, they tend to think of days spent sitting in a ground blind in the middle of a wide open area waiting patiently for birds to respond to calling and decoys. However if hunting in wide open areas is not an option, then the question becomes, how does one bow hunt turkeys in the woods?

Osceola Turkeys Are A Different Kind of Hunt

The main reason I like to hunt Osceola turkeys in Florida is because the season there starts the first week in March, while turkey season begins much later in most other states. The gobblers we hunt seem to be much more aggressive than the turkeys I hunt in Pennsylvania. The cool mornings and the hot days are a big contrast from the cold and often snowy mornings and cold days during Pennsylvania’s turkey season. The

A Memorable Hunt for a First-Time Turkey Hunter

One of my most memorable hunts was in the 2017 turkey season. My friend and fellow Mossy Oak ProStaffer Josh Grossenbacher came up here to Pennsylvania to hunt with me. We enjoy being together as much as we do hunting. Josh has been turkey hunting most of his life, but his dad, Bruce Grossenbacher, had never turkey hunted. For the last couple of years, Bruce had been trying to take a turkey without being successful.

In the early season, you can have a sunshine one day, snow or hail the next day, rain the next day and high winds on the following day. So, when you put the weather and bad birds together,

My dad Jeff and my mom Nancy have been my major supporters. They understand why I do what I
