Bobby Hayes Select Calls

The Bobby Hayes Select is built on the values that have always mattered in waterfowling tradition, craftsmanship, and respect for the birds. These are not trend pieces. They are hand-turned calls built with purpose, rooted in heritage, and made to mean something.
Bobby Hayes has spent more than 20 years building duck calls and chasing what makes a call worth keeping. Raised hunting the Missouri bottoms, he learned through time in the field, time at the bench, and years of getting the details right. The Bobby Hayes Select is not a product line. It is a personal standard, built to reflect his passion for the history, tradition, and culture of waterfowl hunting.

Every barrel starts with hand-selected blanks. No two pieces of wood are the same. The grain, the weight, the character, every bit of it is considered before a single cut is made.
Each call is turned on the lathe by hand. Shaped, fitted, and refined until it meets the standard. No shortcuts. No production line.
The Select line is built with the same proven performance features as our A Series calls, Air Grooves, tight tolerances, and laser cut reeds. They may be hand turned, but they are built to run every bit as good as our field grade calls.
Picked for more than looks. Strong figure, real character, and the kind of stabilization that gives a call the durability to last. Built to hold up, and built to be worthy of the time it takes to turn one right.
Good wood is where it starts. The grain, the color, the density, the feel in your hand some pieces carry more weight than others. These blanks are chosen one by one before they ever touch the lathe, because the material matters as much as the work.

The Bobby Hayes Select is never mass produced. Each batch is a defined number of calls, built, numbered, and released once. When they're gone, they're gone.
A Bobby Hayes Select is built to hang on the lanyard, to be hunted hard, treasured like your grandpa's old shotgun, and become part of the stories worth telling. One day, we hope it gets passed down with the memories made while carrying it.
This batch is for the ones who showed us around the marsh. The old-school guys who gave us their time, their knowledge, and their patience. Five hand-turned models, oil and wax finish, built with the blue-collar wit those waterfowlers were known for. No flash. No gimmicks. Just calls worth carrying.
- Old School LT Compact, powerful, and super soft.
- The Unc Mid-volume with great range. Kind and rounded.
- Granddad Mid-volume, strong top and bottom end. A little humpback A5 in the look.
- Relic Full-volume, full-range. Simple shape, calls of the past.
- Pops The traditionalist's do-it-all. Would look right against a waxed coat.
Stabilized Yellow Cedar Burl LT. Black tips. Sleeved hedge tone board. Hand-stippled brass band. One random order from this batch gets it. If your box has a black leather liner, that's the one.
This batch is for the ones who know the legends and appreciate the models that came after. Built around the special shotguns that helped shape waterfowling, it is a deeper look at the guns that carried more than steel and walnut into the blind. These are the deep cuts the ones serious waterfowlers and collectors keep coming back to.
