ABOUT US

Our Story

In 2017, Brian Meese’s growing passion for turkey hunting led him to take a step beyond the woods. He bought his first turkey mouth call press and began crafting calls for himself, driven by the desire to sound more like a wild turkey. What started as a personal challenge soon turned into an obsession. Brian began making calls not just for himself but for local hunters, turning his hobby into a small side hustle right out of his home.

Then, in 2020, the world changed. Like many, Brian faced job uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of backing down, he leaned into his passion and officially launched KLUK CUSTOM CALLS with the launch of his first website.

Shortly after, fate stepped in. Brian received a message from someone offering to shoot a free commercial for his new game call company. That someone was Nate Burkhart—a fellow turkey hunter who, by pure coincidence, lived just five minutes away. The two met, filmed the commercial, and ended up talking about turkey hunting for hours. Months later, they randomly found themselves seated at the same table at a wedding. Once again, the conversation was filled with turkey hunting stories and shared passion.

Brian saw something in Nate that could help KLUK grow, and after talking it over with his wife, he knew Nate was the perfect partner. One day, while sitting in a tree stand, Brian sent Nate a message asking if he’d be interested in becoming a 50/50 partner in KLUK. After a brief hesitation (and a question from Nate’s wife, “Why would he want to partner with you?”), Nate was all in. That’s how KLUK CUSTOM CALLS was truly born—a partnership built on shared passion and an even better friendship.
