A Kluk Calls add popped up on my Fb feed so I looked further. A Pa company (I'm from PA) owned by veteran(s) caught my attention. Backstory....My turkey hunting buddy of 20 years (John) passed away in September 2024 after fighting a 2 year battle with cancer. He was a Vietnam veteran and knew that our spring 2024 trip to South Dakota/Wyoming to chase Merriams was our last together. John asked me to bring his ashes back to his favorite little valley in the Black Hills when his time was up. After losing my friend in September and as the 2025 trip to SD was approaching (April 26-May 1), I was looking for something to give me strength to make the solo journey to the Black Hills to fulfill John's wishes. Kluk Calls was the answer. I viewed the add from a veteran-owned, Pennsylvania company as a sign from my veteran-friend (also a PA resident). On his favorite little point in the Black Hills in SD on 4/26/25 and with my new Kluk Calls, I harvested a beautiful Merriams and then spread friend's ashes in the same spot. Thanks for the inspiration, the great calls (I bought the Code Red series), the personalized invoice, sticker, call case and wrist band, which I wore throughout my solo journey to the Black Hills. The band now sits with John's favorite box call in my display case.
