When Alan Sentell began turkey hunting at the ripe old age of 13, he had no one to hunt with, no camo, his dad’s old quail gun and no one to teach him the fine art of turkey hunting. Alan bought an old call box from an older gentleman that he used as a pattern. "It took me a year before I got a turkey," he chuckles now, as he remembers.

Still, from the time he heard his first hen yelp, Alan was hooked. He’s now spent more than 30 years learning by trial and error just what works in the woods. And Alan says, he’s not finished yet!

About 15 years ago, Alan began to get serious about wanting to create calls. He made a few and gave them away, and then sold a few here and there, too. However in 1996, Alan prayed a prayer that would change his life. "I talk to the Lord just the way I would talk to my Dad," Alan explains. One night, Alan says he was apologizing, feeling as though God had blessed him with skills and abilities that he wasn’t using to his full advantage. " I asked God to show me a gift that he had given me that I could use that might amount to something." The next day, a man called Alan and asked him to make a turkey call for him. "I knew in my heart this was the answer to my prayer," Alan explains.
