Summary

Cal and Joey sit down with Rod Haydel of Haydel’s Game Calls to discuss a bunch of different topics. We talk about how Haydel’s got their start with Rod’s father and now what Rod and his family have built in terms of a great company and waterfowl legacy. Rod tells us how many DR-85’s he thinks have been sold and how many people are still using that call religiously to this day. If you haven’t ever seen or blown one of these calls, you should. More people have started on this call than any other. We also hear about the first deer grunt and how Haydel’s really transformed from just making duck calls into what they produce today. Thanks so much for listening and be sure to subscribe and review! New Waterfowl Film out now!
