Annie Oakley Day Invite 2010

Derby City recently sent some call building supplies to students at Muhlenberg County High School.  Under the guidance of teacher Scott Cronin, these students have been busy building turkey calls since the beginning of February.  Mr. Cronin, his fiancee Morgan, and all of his students came by and spent some time at our booth on Friday, Feb. 19th.  Scott teaches a wildlife management class and always covers a unit on wild turkeys.  He wanted to have his students build turkey calls, but needed some supplies to get started.  Derby City was fortunate enough to be able to donate the materials to build these calls.  We appreciated Scott, Morgan , and all of the students for coming by our booth.  They are a great group of kids.  We look forward to helping them again in the future.

” Jeff,

   I was working in an area that I knew held turkeys, so one morning I parked off the road, opened my window and started calling turkeys using your slate turkey call that I bought when I ordered my guitar.  As you can see the call works!  I called three Hens & two Jakes.  It took some time but eventually the three hens jumped on the back of my truck and one hen jumped up on the roof.  Dumb Indiana Turkeys!  I’ll see you when my guitar come in.

Thanks, Lanny.”

Lanny,  thanks for sharing this with us and good luck in Turkey Season!    Derby City

All the guys here at Derby City Game Calls have been working overtime to get ready for this years NWTF Convention.  We have a lot of exciting products for sell and to display.  From our Magnum and Spur designed Turkey calls, to our new Tracker Trough call. Along with these we are also bringing unbelievable sounding and gorgeous Old Growth Strikers, we even have our very first Special run “250 year old California Old Growth Redwood”. For those attending the show come by and say hello, we are located at Booth 1061.  Brent, Jimmy, Bob, Eric, Jeff and Dave are all coming down this year and we look forward to meeting a lot of new friends and having a good time.

See you there!

With all the fundraising going on during the Southwest Spurs 8th Annual Hunting Heritage Banquet they have a very special presentation that is one of the highlights of the evening.  The Stanley Boyd Memorial Scholarship.  This is an annual presentation of a $ 500.00 Scholarship and is awarded to recipients of only the highest standards and ethics.   This year’s recipient was Jake Hall.  Jake is a senior at Pleasure Ridge Park High School, he is a 3 year varsity baseball player, is on the Student Council, Beta Club and Honors Program.  He carries a 3.4 GPA.

Jake plans to further his education at Lincoln Trail College in Illinois were he will be attending college on a baseball scholarship.

I would just like to give everyone some information on a new company that is based in Mount Washington, Ky.  Their name is Poor Boys Outdoors.  They make hunting videos and are looking to get into the Louisville market  this fall.  Hopefully, their show will be picked up by the Outdoor Channel or another major channel in the near future.  We met some of the guys and they are a bunch of down to earth boys who love to hunt and make videos.  Check out their website at www.poorboysoutdoors.com.  Derby City is looking forward to working with these guys for years to come.

Thanks Again, Brent Stoner
