Derby City’s Turkey Track to debut at 2011 NWTF Convention
The Turkey Track, Derby City’s newest call, is a true turkey hunter’s call. The pot was designed with a turkey track on the bottom of the call to appeal to hunters and collectors alike. Simply put, this is a beautiful looking call that is all turkey when it comes to looks and sound. From soft clucks and yelps to enticing purrs and excited cutting, this call replicates the same great turkey sounds that hunters have come to expect from Derby City. Read more
Our Newest Addition – Hot Calls !!!
Derby City would like to introduce the newest addition to our game call line, heat treated maple. The heat treating of wood originated around 10,000 years ago with the Australian Aboriginals and was found to make the wood more resistant to outdoor conditions and very stable dimensionally. This process is very time consuming but the benefits definitely out weigh all the work. The most striking aspect of the treated wood is the coloring, heat treated maple varies from light golden brown all the way to a rich chocolate. This process colors the wood all the way through so there is no worry about scratches, dents, or dings as the calls just get more beautiful with age and the way these calls blend into the woods is just spectacular.
Derby City’s Flame Maple calls will be available through Bass Pro Shops starting this Spring. If you really want to make it special, order it from Derby City and get custom laser engraving for an additional $10. Give us a call or check out our product line.
Derby City Relic
In the music industry there are some musical instruments known as “Relics” . At Derby City we are using the same process to give our calls that aged and used look. We have started with a Derby City Magnum in our flamed maple, slate over slate call . This call was used to bag this bird during the 2010 spring season. All “Relics” have our signature sound that is in our line up. We also have our Derby City Tracker in a “relic” look. These are calls you should not be afraid to hunt with.
The “Tracker” Derby City’s newest Trough call
Derby City will be introducing its new trough call at the NWTF Convention in Nashville. It is called the Tracker. This is a very easy Turkey Call to use if you are a new turkey hunter. It has great rasp and is a very good call when you need to call softly to bring that big gobbler into gun range. This call can also be personalized and comes with a standard striker. However, we highly recommend upgrading to our signature Old Growth Striker.
More Old Growth Wood
Derby City Calls has landed some more old growth wood. This wood was salvaged from an old cabin that was demolished off of Arnoldtown Road here in Louisville, Ky. The log cabin dated back to the 1850’s and had fallen in disrepair. The owners decided to tear it down and build a new home on the site. The cabin was made from a variety of different woods that were available to the settlers back in 
the 1800’s. So far, we have salvaged poplar, oak, chestnut, Walnut and cherry from this cabin. There are still 40 more logs to mill. We have made some striker handles from the old growth oak. The striker in these pictures are a combination of our old growth woods. The 500 year old Old Growth dowel compliments this striker beautifully. You can see the outstanding character in these woods. This wood is absolutely gorgeous. The oak has a lot of worm holes that make it truly a one of a kind striker. Don’t you want one? The Old Growth Striker works great with our full line of Turkey Calls.
