Where’d you get it?
That sounds like a killer


Old Crow Custom Calls . 850-503-2458 man's name is Val.

I told him I wanted a simple , darker wood with a sound that will challenge mature bucks. I think he hit a home run.

Proof is in the pudding. I have 4 years worth of videos of bucks coming to my stand looking for the buck. David is a humble guy and will never talk up his own calls,but I'm here to tell you,they are the real deal. Way better than some 20 or 30 dollar call made in China rebranded for primos or realtree. I always try to make mine sound like a young buck,never real deep; that's what I hear most of in the woods so that's what I try to mimic,and it's worked pretty danged good. Enjoy those calls!!

Ill tell you something about David Leonard. I dont know him really well nor have i known him for a long time but we have talked some and got to know each other a little. Mr Leonard spends alot of time building these calls to help hunters have success. Thats a pretty big deal to me, putting forth effort to help others be successful. Yes, he gets paid for his work but in my opinion he dont charge near what he could. I believe to him its more about the result than the money. Just a good dude. I would rather do business with him that a sporting goods store, any time every time. Hope yall have the same experience with him. I would definitely give him a try.

For the pitch,I'll slide the band (on the reed) to the portion of the reed that most closely resembles what I would classify as a younger buck grunt,ie,higher pitch-if you slide the band farther than necessary ,it will actually sound more like a doe bleat. For the cadence,I'll usually do a tending grunt-short quick grunts,making sure to change the direction I'm facing each time. Deeper buck grunts sound cool and like a big nasty swamp donkey,but I don't always think a buck wants to face the biggest,baddest buck on the planet. Maybe they like going into fights they think they can win?

How do you order one? I messaged him a week or more ago on Facebook and never heard back from him.

I know he's been real busy lately,and truth be told,he just got on facebook,so may not even know how to access his messages. I'd shoot him a text or call the number listed on the business card that was posted earlier in this thread. He should get right back with you; I know he just got a new batch of wood last week. Some really good looking stuff to. May have him turn me another zebra wood grunter. Can never have to many

I set mine on the deeper tones , I want to challenge the big, mature studs.

In my short tenure hunting (30 years) I have heard less than 10 deep bellowing grunts in the woods. Heard about 10 times as many young bucks grunting in the higher pitch. I'm just saying what has worked for me,and worked very well on our place.

After seeing the replies I quickly ordered one last week. Talked to Mr. Leonard via text and had one in my hand by the end of the week. Call looks good, but more importantly it sounds good. Thanks for the recommendations!

His number is posted earlier, but is 706-249-3003. His turkey tube is some count, too.

I texted with David Leonard some this evening. He said thanks to everyone who placed orders. He is doing his best to get them all out in good time.

Someone must have given him my number, which is great. Thanks. He just texted me.
