DON SAYLOR
ABOUT STRAIGHT CREEK CALLS
I’m Don Saylor. Straight Creek Calls is a family business. In fact, I choose the name because it reminds me of my family home. I was born and raised in Appalachians near Cumberland Gap, in a place called Stoney Fork. If someone asked for directions, I would say it was off the right fork of Straight Creek . (Mountain people would understand that!)
I fell in love with an Alabama girl and moved here thirty something years ago. During the week I worked as a machinist, and on the weekend, my boys and I went hunting. Today, my sons and nephew help with production and sales. My wife keeps track of the business end of things. And that "Handcrafted by Saylor” you see engraved on all of my calls? that’s my oldest grandson’s handwriting.
I spend my days hunched over my lathe and milling machine in the shop out behind our house. I am absolutely committed to quality - if a call doesn’t sound just right, into the discount bin it goes. That dedication to excellence is probably why our sales have tripled in the last year.
While we continue to grow, e will never forget where we came from and why we do this - for you, our customer. Never hesitate t let us know how we can help. Happy hunting!
