Sure-Shot Game Calls

Description

• The Story History of the inventors of the Double Reed Duck Call: George Yentzen in the 1940s was one of the best known men in Jefferson County. Yentzen the baker cut his first black walnut duck call on a band saw on his back porch in Nederland in the early 1950s, and with his young assistant James Cowboy Fernandez, designed and patented the first double reed duck call with its reeds joined together by rivets. Yentzen double and triple reed calls were to dominate the local and national market for the next 20 years! Cowboy entered calling contests across the Gulf Coast with his Yentzen calls, and at first didnt win many. Coming back from the Internationals in Crowley Louisiana with his friends in 1959, he wondered aloud how he missed the finals. Harold [Drummond] told me youre not the hitting that call. And he showed me. The next day I won the Gulf Coast championship in Port Arthur, went on to win the Texas Open several times, and the regional in Beaumont several times. The following year I won the World Duck Calling Championship in Stuttgart Arkansas, and ended up winning the International three times. Cowboys Yentzen calls in the 1960s did not jut compete in the market, they dominated it. Charles Stepan of Port Arthur won the World Championship in 1960 with a Yentzen call. Billie Domingue held a five-year winning streak in the womens division of the World Contest with her Yentzen. Bob Brister used a Yentzen to capture the Houston Sportsmens Club contest.7 Yentzen calls were used to replicate mallards by 28 out of 42 contestants in the Oklahoma State Duck Calling Contest in 1966, and four out of five of the top winners were blowing Yentzens.8 The name became so well known that when Dr. Paul Webber taught classes waterfowl hunting classes at Alvin Junior College, each student was required to bring a Sure-Shot double or triple reed call!
