Time is flying by

Sept. 3rd is almost here and that's the first of what I hope is many radio shows to come. There is more to do to get ready for these than I ever thought possible. Its going to be a hoot though, Right now this week I am trying to line up some special guests for the show to demo duck and goose calling techniques, I am a pretty fair caller but we are talking world class callers here folks. These guys can make my calls sound pretty good and that's a feat in itself !! I would really like for as many of you as possible to join in and make this a real event. here is the site again, Join me and join the conversation. Everyone is welcome and it should be a blast.

Never enough time

Its been crazy around here as of late, Trying to finish up calls for events, My son is playing football and thats three nights a week of practice, My day job just keeps getting more busy each and every day and will only get worse as we approach Christmas. Oh and yeah, Trying to get the time to do some work on my upcoming radio show. Only have a few calls for DU and Delta events left to go and then it gets real busy. Dove season opens here in Kansas on Sept. 1st. Boy I love to hunt those gray bullets ( notice I didnt say shoot) Talk about makin a guy humble about his shooting skills. If that wasnt bad enough early Teal season opens up about 2 weeks later for more chances to show case my shooting skills............... NOT. I should get birthday cards from shell makers, You guys at Federal reading this?? I will be posting some new call pics as they get done, There is a special Delta Waterfowl event in Omaha this next month, I have donated some goodies for the event. Its a fund raiser for some great kids up there. If your in the area its a great deal on a great evening of food and entertainment. Gotta go, You all be good.

Getting Done finally

Its been crazy here as of late, Trying to finish up all of my Ducks Unlimited fund raising calls and misc. calls that I have committed to this last month. The two above are a set of Arkansas style single reed duck calls headed for Oregon and the two below are a Duck call also Arkansas style single reed and a Goose call SR, That Lil baby is all of 4.25 inches long, These are headed to Green Bay Wisc. Got several more calls to finish up before the hunting season hits around here, So I will be hit and miss on here for the next few..........
Be good and take care, Kelly

Babys First Duck Call, Baby Mags & How it all Began

A few years ago I stood looking at a pile of cut offs from my call making efforts and was wondering what could I do with them, The wood is pretty expensive that us call maker types use so I really just didn't want to chuck it into the fire place on the patio.

My son Hunter was in Cub Scouts at the time and I thought I could make him a neckerchief slide out of some of that wood so it would look like a mini duck call. After it was done I got to thinking that making a real call of a very small size would be the coolest thing to try. Well after much trial and error I got the lil buggers figured out, Named them Baby Magnums or Baby Mags after the short shotgun shells used for water fowling during the 60's. One thing has led to another and now they are some of my best selling calls. Do not be fooled by the size, These calls have full size soundboards and reeds in them so they sound much bigger than they look. Folks have their children's names inscribed on them along with date of birth.



I have some folks that hunt with them and love them. Most are around 2 3/4 inches long, Some a bit longer but can also be made a bit shorter. There is really no limit to what can be done in making one of these except imagination, The examples of these are to the left of the page, To see a bunch more duck calls please feel free to visit my web page at http://www.kellyskalls.com/



Thanks for visiting and have a good one, Kelly
