Another Successful Hunt
Spencer's Bird
Dear Derby City Game Calls,
Your product works great. I got my tom this year on the first day of my hunt by using the slate spur and 500 year old maple striker. Every time I yelped, cut, or purred, the tom gobbled and worked closer with each call I made. Your product is easy to use and sounds like a real turkey. I will recommend this call to all my friends without hesitation. Thank you for your super product.
Sincerely,
Spencer Delepierre
Congrats again to Spencer on a nice longbeard. I would also like to give a shout out to Rick for being gracious to give a young hunter a call.
Derby City’s Limited Run of American Chestnut Calls
Derby City will debut its limited run of American Chestnut calls at the NWTF Convention in Nashville, February 18-20. We have 15 calls in all three of our designs (Turkey Track, Magnum, and Spur). Each call is numbered. The calls were made from an American Chestnut that was planted by Derby City Pro Staffer, Dave Berry’s, father in the 1950’s. This tree survived the Chestnut blight, but was damaged from an ice storm and then killed by a lightning strike.
We will have pictures of the tree being processed, along with other information about how rare this tree really was. There are some very cool wormy pots in this run. They will go for $100, except for all the numbers 1 and 15. These will be even more special. Stop by the booth quick, we have already had several people inquire about these calls. These calls must be purchased in Nashville.
Muhlenberg County Students Visit Derby City at NWTF Convention
Derby City recently sent some call building supplies to students at Muhlenberg County High School. Under the guidance of teacher Scott Cronin, these students have been busy building turkey calls since the beginning of February. Mr. Cronin, his fiancee Morgan, and all of his students came by and spent some time at our booth on Friday, Feb. 19th. Scott teaches a wildlife management class and always covers a unit on wild turkeys. He wanted to have his students build turkey calls, but needed some supplies to get started. Derby City was fortunate enough to be able to donate the materials to build these calls. We appreciated Scott, Morgan , and all of the students for coming by our booth. They are a great group of kids. We look forward to helping them again in the future.
Derby City Game Calls… They really do work!!
Good friend and Customer Lanny Crawley of Greenwood, IN sent us this note along with some pictures of some Turkey’s he called using his Derby City Game Call. This is in Lanny’s words.
” Jeff,
I was working in an area that I knew held turkeys, so one morning I parked off the road, opened my window and started calling turkeys using your slate turkey call that I bought when I ordered my guitar. As you can see the call works! I called three Hens & two Jakes. It took some time but eventually the three hens jumped on the back of my truck and one hen jumped up on the roof. Dumb Indiana Turkeys! I’ll see you when my guitar come in.
Thanks, Lanny.”
Lanny, thanks for sharing this with us and good luck in Turkey Season! Derby City
