In this episode of Faithful Pursuit, we’re officially ready to launch a new series diving into the world of custom game calls.

I sit down with Eric Whitsel, a talented call maker who crafts custom calls for multiple species. We talk about how he got started, what goes into designing and building a call, and why the details matter when you're trying to fool a wary animal in the woods.

This episode kicks off a series where we’ll break down each species of call Eric makes, how they’re built, how they’re used in the field, and tips for hunters looking to improve their calling game.

If you’re passionate about hunting and curious about the craftsmanship behind the tools we use in the woods, this series is for you.

The series starts here.
