After 13 years that was a while back I had a problem with his call. He said send it back, a few weeks later when I got home there was a package from Albert Paul. he took care of the problem, I called him to see how much it cost. He said no charge, and that was after 13 years. He is on good honest person.

Albert is one of the nicest guys I have ever known.

I think the key is that he grew up listening to birds, 100's if not 1000's of live birds.

He hunts all over, and knows what calls work for a given location and/or situation.

I hunt Nebraska most years.  Many calls can't cover the distance, and cut the wind, and appeal to the Heinz 57 birds that are moving all around these days.  I asked him to make me a hybrid call for Nebraska, 2007 or 2008 I think.  Took awhile.  I check in, and he said the first call just didn't sound right, so he started over.  That persimmon & maple call goes with me everywhere. I carry it on the plane when I fly.  It has worked so many times when other calls did not, that I just have no choice but to keep it close  :)

I only have 3, but I want 10+.....

Albert's calls are top notch and Albert himself is even better.

One of my personal current interests is nest predators and how a majority of hunters, where legal bait to the extent of chumming coons.  However once they get the predators concentrated they don't control them.

That's awesome.  I'm gonna ask a stupid question about a Paul call, but how's it sound?  Does it have another wood laminated on the underside of the lid to give it more weight?

The call is solid and heavy, all holly, and the sound is rich and full.  Great for calm days, close up work, and anytime you want a slightly lower pitch than a lighter wood....

Last year I hunted with a buddy who has a Poplar & Walnut Albert Paul call. Its was as good as it gets and we did well with it. I bought each of my sons one for Christmas this year. They are really really good calls and Mr Paul was good to deal with...not sure why I didnt get one for myself.

   I had Albert make me a all Holly this spring.
Great sounding call and it is just beautiful..
Looking forward to using it this coming year.

He makes a good one for sure.
:icon_thumright:
Mine, according to my boxcall making hunting buddy, is the best sounding box call he's heard.
He told me that "they don't come better sounding than that".
And yes, it's very easy to run.
Love to hunt the King of Spring!
