Snake River Custom Duck Calls & Goose Calls

Snake River Custom Duck Calls and Goose Calls

My name is John Stosich and I established Snake River Custom Calls to join my love of waterfowl hunting with my skills as a wood turner. For years I studied how calls were made and how they worked so that I could create a call that would work better for me and my waterfowling friends,than an off the shelf 'stock call". After much research into call design and materials, I'm proud to offer for sale custom turned duck calls and goose call to the knowledgeable waterfowler.

I have many individuals to thank for helping reach this point in my call making. One friend in particular is Charlie Hess. Charlie has been both friend and mentor and it certainly has been rewarding to learn from the man who created the short reed goose call. His encouragement and patience has been instrumental in developing these calls. I am a better person as well as a better waterfowl call maker as a result of his friendship.

All my waterfowl calls are fashioned one at a time in my private workshop. Each is hand crafted. This not only is my favorite pastime but also is my full out passion. It is especially rewarding to hear the hunting tales of satisfied customers and how they enjoy using my calls.

The woods I use are ordered from exotic wood dealers and I also work in stabilized woods. These stabilized woods are excellent for their sound quality, durability and beauty. I have many customers that contact me and want me make them a call that "is not so pretty" so they can feel justified in using the call in the field. I always have to assure them that the call is as tough as it is good looking....but as they say the customer is always right and if they want another call, I'm happy to oblige them.

Let me make you the duck call or goose call you have always wanted. One that sounds good, look good and will possibly be passed down as an heirloom. I enjoy the challenge of keeping my customers satisfied and if you have a special idea that you would like to have made, please email me or call me at 208-201-1868.
