Just to let you guys know ,what's going on with me ...
Most of you know I am a UPS driver by profession 34 years and I have decided to retire this April! Whoop whoop
This is a few years earlier than what me and my family had planned and the reason being is several of the waterfowl game calls designs (patent pending ) :wave: have really taken off in popularity and i literally can't make them fast enough, no matter what time of year it is
The work pace has been insane 80 to 90 hours a week non stop year round ...no weekends off , and hardly any days off for family or hunting ..for the last 5 years now , but that will change for me in April !
Soo...why sweat in a brown truck when I can make game calls full time !
Ill be trying to make my ussual amount turkey calls this spring , then I have to get to real work and really ramp up my waterfowl product line as I have to build up inventory
The following spring 2026 ..that is when I am hoping to have more push pin calls made than normal
Also the 2025 patch is in the pipeline about mid February uounwill see those
Stay safe Shannon
I know your looking forward to retirement... nothing like it ... congrats
Can't wait to see the new patch's
Congrats my friend
The waterfowl calls are the real deal
I use them almost every day
Enjoy retirement
Congratulations on the upcoming retirement-and awesome that you have a passion to step into. Thanks for keeping this site up and going!
Great news brother
impressed that you have done what u have over the years. As a rural mail carrier, I think I have it bad, but you guys work a lot more than me. course you make the big bucks too :santaclaus:
Awesome, Congrats Shannon!
Congratulations on this hard work
Congratulation to you on the retirement as well as the business flourishing.
Congrats on your upcoming retirement! Hopefully I will finally get a shot at one of your turkey calls!
Congrats! I'm striving for the same aspirations as you!
Hopefully I can snag a push pin this year!

Retirement isn't what it's cracked up to be unless you keep busy and do the things you love. It appears you are going to have more than enough on your plate to keep busy my friend. Congratulations!
Congrats and comes sooner than we think - you're prepared!!
Congrats Shannon, everyone wins in this story. Z
Congrats on the pending retirement and best of luck growing the call business.

It's great to hear you can retire earlier than you thought. I promise you, you won't regret it!
Congratulations.....

Congrats :you_rock:
Sounds like a solid plan to transition to a new phase in life. I semi retired about three years ago and still do some work for my former full time employer. I think I worked about 650 hours last year as opposed to a typical 2,300 hours with two months of vacation.
I'm sure concentrating on just game calls will keep you busy and out of trouble :happy0064:
I'm also hoping to score a push pin :toothy12:
Congrats! Also where can I find out more about the waterfowl calls?
Congrats! That's awesome how everything worked out and is coming together for you!
I'll have to try one of your duck calls..
If they are anything close to your push pins they have to be winners!
