I grew up on a farm in E Central IL hunting the Wabash and Kaskaskia river valley
areas.  I started hunting at age 12 with father, uncle and cousins in central IL mostly
for upland and waterfowl. Guided for a commercial club in S IL from 94-2000. Then
switched to boat boat hunting for about the next 7 or 8 years on big body waters in Central
and S IL.

The last couple years has consisted of a lot more field hunting and a lot more Canada geese. When we went from hunting the big tanks or boat blinds to hunting out of layouts we quickly realized the need for a call that can be tuned to have that bit lower tone but yet still blow easy. This is what the Fowl Decent FD1 makes possible.  I am pleased to have met Roy and look forward to working for the Fowl Decent team for many years to come.

In the last 25 years I have blown a number of goose calls from long flute style calls to tiny short reed calls, all of which have there own “tricks” that you needed to understand to be able to blow them effectively. When Roy approached me with the FD1 the thing that I first noticed was the size and shape. The finger sized groove in the bell end of this call allows for consistent and repeatable hand and finger placement even with gloves on. Its size, being what I consider mid-size, is perfect for hunting in layout blinds. It’s not so large that it gets in the way or pokes you but big enough that it doesn’t get lost in clothing. Once I blew this call I knew there was something different about it, it may very well be the easiest blowing short reed call I have ever picked up, needing very little air to create great, full sounds. Whether I need loud attention getting hails at distant birds or subtle, soft clucks at finishing geese I found these sounds easy to create with very little effort even in the cramped confines of a layout blind.
