VECtor Custom Calls
In the spring of 2003, Vincent E, Crawford (V.E.C.), at the age of 22, decided that he would no longer use a manufactured, 'every call is milled to be the last call' friction turkey call. He began laying down elbow grease on a glass turkey call that is now known as "FIRST IMPRESSION." Later in the year, with the push and guidance of good friends, Crawford put more work into producing "SI8te", the eight-sided slate friction turkey call. As the popularity of the turkey calls continue to gain, Crawford has been working on other wildlife calls also, such as deer, duck and goose. In the fall of 2006, the VECtor deer grunters were very successful and their popularity in the deer woods has exploded.
VECtor deer grunt calls were first created after specific requests from good friends Jeremy Webb of Weston, MO and Scott Paine of Hannibal, MO. These first grunt calls were produced in the fall of 2006. Their popularity HIGHLY exceeded expectations! 19 deer grunters were made and used during the 2006 deer season. 14 shooter bucks were harvested with the use of these 19 calls! Mr. Webb also called in a 200+ inch non-typical buck into camera range while he was archery hunting!
The popularity of these grunt calls seem to come from the ability to grunt lower than any of the plastic production calls on the market. We have decided the VECtor Custom Calls deer grunt call slogan is “Taking deer hunting to a new low.”
The deer grunt calls are available in many types of woods. Most of the domestic wood grunt calls have been made out of walnut and persimmon up to this point. Dymondwood and color wood grunt calls have also been VERY popular.
After MORE specific requests…..and after the initial production of the VECtor deer grunt calls…….VECtor duck calls were born! Nothing gets a spouse more excited than hearing a VECtor duck call being blown throughout the house! At this point, I have created only a handful of duck calls, but the ones in use have been VERY successful. These initial duck calls are for ‘timber use’ and close-in situations where you don‘t want your calling to echo. I will be working on ‘field use’ and long-distance calls in the future.
