Meet Gil - Founder / Owner

Hey there—I’m Gil Schumacher, the guy behind the calls! I’ve been hunting for nearly 12 years and started this small business with one goal in mind: to craft high-quality, reliable calls for local hunters who take their game seriously (but still like to have fun out there).

This all began with some old wood tools and machines passed down from my grandpa. I’ve spent countless hours in the shop, handcrafting each call with precision and pride. Every piece is made with care, tested in the field, and built to perform.

 

Thanks for supporting a small-town maker doing what he loves—one call at a time.
