Welcome To My Blog!

This website is an extension of my Duck + Goose Call Website located at http://www.kellyskalls.com/.

Kellys Kalls Custom Duck Call + Goose Calls Blog

This blog is my Custom Hunting Call Story and all that comes with it. "The Art of Duck Calls, Goose Calls. Childrens Calls, + Duck Whistles."

Custom Duck calls from Kellyskalls.com featuring custom made duck and goose calls with carved wood and acrylic game call parts that are of heirloom quality. My site is one of best sites out there for goose calls, duck calls, Micro-Miniature Calls,and Mini Calls that hunters and collectors out there need and want.

From time to time I will post stories about the Art of Call Making, I will show not only my work but the works of fellow call makers. The vast majority of Duck and Goose calls are made over seas in large plants manned by folks that do not claim English to be their native tounge.

Custom call makers be they Duck Calls, Goose Calls , Turkey Calls, Deer Calls etc. Are one of the great original American folk arts.

Today there has been a resurgance of sorts of custom call making by folks like myself that enjoy the art and love working with various materials to make what we call Custom Calls. There will also be stories about the sport we love and the people that make it a joy to be part of, Like I said in my first Post.

This is a work in process, The first few steps on a journey,

Thanks for coming along, Kelly (KellysKalls.com)

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/
