It’s that time of the year again, I spend a lot of my time going from sportshow to sportshow doing everything from working booths to calling in contests. This weekend I’m heading up to the Wisconsin Dells for the 2014 Wisconsin State and Open Calling Contest. This will be my first contest of the year and […]
Dare I say it! That I’m thinking of turkeys and it’s still deer season. As a contest caller I run calls year around and now is about the time of year I really start working on them hard. See contests start up in less than a month, so it’s time for a contest caller to […]

I have worked very hard over the last few years to win a Iowa State Turkey Calling Championship. I started competitive calling in 2006 with the help of Jim Fink. Jim has won many Iowa State and Open Titles and he was willing to help get me into the sport. In 2010 I started working with […]
Shane Simpson of CallingAllTurkeys.com When it comes to turkey hunting, most hunters would never even consider heading afield without some sort of a locator call. Most are fairly easy to use and very helpful at pinpointing a gobbler’s position without the threat are luring him in. After all, you’re only trying to locate a bird and […]
This weekend was a very busy but fun filled weekend. First up, my Dad, Hans Goettsch, was back in Iowa. (he is retired and living the dream in AZ). He had driven back his truck that I’m buying from him and also he had a few events he was taking part in here in Iowa. […]
This year has got off to a fast start, it’s already spring and I can’t wait to start hunting turkeys. But before that I have one last turkey calling contest this Sunday.

Wow what a show! Monster deer, great new products, the new turkey calling contest and all the great people my wife and I met. I always look forward to the Iowa Deer Classic each year but this year it was a little different as we had agreed to move the Mid Iowa Classic Turkey Calling […]

This happens at the Annual NWTF Convention and Sport Show. The sport show is a monster in of itself, every major company in […]
This week has been a little slow but coyote hunting should start to pick up soon. I have not made it out to try any calling but did talk to a few buddies who have and have had little luck. It’s close to the breeding season and any time now they should start coming to […]
Show Season for me is January to March, what it means is for the next three months, I will be traveling to many calling contests, indoor 3D Archery Shoots, as well as hitting up many Outdoor Shows. I love the contests, calling and 3D, not because I’m particularly good at them, I do ok but […]
