Denny Hall, MD

It was here where he would listen to the geese on their roost and would go home and try to mimic the sounds they would make. Denny entered his first calling contest in 2005 and learned he needed some help. In 2006 he met John Taylor at a contest and asked if he could help him call.

Seth Hampton, MD
Seth, from Easton, Maryland, started hunting at the age of 9. Since goose season was in the moratorium, duck hunting was the only option. Seth was always amazed by watching the world goose calling championship every year. It wasn't until age 12, while volunteering at the waterfowl festival in Easton, when teddy Hoover taught him how to do a hail call on a duck call and has been hooked ever since. After starting to contest call he was lucky enough to have Tim covey as a lacrosse coach who showed him the ropes with contest calling and hunting. Since then Seth has won 3 North Carolina state goose calling championships, placed 5th in world goose in 2015, 3rd in the world team goose, and in 2016 placed 4th in world team goose.

John Walls, DE
John grew up in northern Delaware where his father introduced him to the outdoors at a very young age. Being a diehard deer hunter growing up, John never really thought about waterfowl hunting. That all changed in middle school when John met lifelong friend Alex who took him on his first goose hunt in 2005. From that day on the fire was lit and a few short years later John entered his first contest in 2007. Since then John has won 8 consecutive Delaware state goose calling titles, the North American intermediate goose calling championship in 2009, the World Team goose calling championship and World Live goose calling championship in 2014 and dozens of other top 5 finishes.
